A ring model, or one with several light points, spreads the brightness over a larger surface and suits a spacious bathroom better. The waterproof recessed spotlight targets a precise area, the shower or the bathtub, rather than a whole room.

Away from the shower, in the dry zone, an IP44 pendant handles ambient moisture. But it hangs into the room, so it catches steam from above and gets in the way of movement near the bathtub.
