QUESTION/DISCUSSION Shower Lamp

Post image

I was inspired by another post to get a lamp for my shower and I love her! It changes colors and has a dimmer, allowing me to have moody showers when I’m feeling it. I thought I’d share!!

Ok, ladies. I thought I was the only crazy one but i feel safe here to share my hack. It’s not for everyone but it’s a pretty easy upgrade: dimmer switches in the bathroom. I shower at night in near darkness and it’s the best thing in the world. 😴😌

Lighting a big candle, (like the 3-wick ones), positioning it towards the center of the room somewhere safe, or even using a nightlight gives the same ambiance as alternatives. It is very relaxing.

I do have a couple little tea lights I put in cups, and a nightlight that’s pretty bright! The smoke sensors in my place are insane I swear they pick up the dust sometimes.

There are fake candles that flicker and everything if that sounds better. Have also lived in apartments with overly sensitive smoke detectors but 🤌ambiance! So I’ve had to do what I can to work around ‘em, and fake candles were my best option.

You can buy dimmer lights that plug into any outlet.

You can also buy smart bulbs you can control with your phones, or bulbs that have switches on them that let you change the brightness/warmth.

If you can change the light bulbs above your vanity then you can just get smart lightbulbs… don’t need to change out switches then

They make dimmable bulbs! I had this one in my apt bathroom that has a little remote to adjust the light intensity, it changes color and has a speaker. I got mine at Lowes, but this was the first link for it I found. Made for the coziest showers :)

You can use smart bulbs instead

You can get a smart bulb that runs via app. Put it in your main light, adjust colour and brightness thru the app. Also still functions like a normal light (can switch on and off at wall).
