Wireless Shower Lights Will Brighten Up Your Shower


Dark showers make me feel vulnerable. When we bought our house ten years ago, one of my first tasks was lighting up a dark shower upstairs that had no light. I trace it back to my house growing up, where spiders loved to hide. I also credit the Alfred Hitchcock move, Psycho. Although I conquered the darkness of my shower by hiring an electrician for $350 to install a light, it seems whenever I travel, there is always that dark shower that brings me back to the time when I was using a small shower without a light. Sometimes it's in the beach house that we rent for a week's vacation. It can also be when we stay on the third floor of my brother's old house in New Jersey with the shower that used to be part of the attic.

My childhood fears come back to me whenever I step into a dark shower. I first worry about someone being inside the shower already. Then I worry about spiders. Without proper lighting in the shower, I shower fast with my eyes open and regularly throw elbows around in case someone is trying to get me.

When we designed the Mr Beams Ceiling Light, one requirement was that it needed to be able to light up a shower. There is no product on the market that can light up a shower without celling an electrician. Our engineering team rose to the challenge to make the Mr Beams Ceiling Light weather resistant and able to pass the IP44 test. What is IP44? It takes a product and blasts it with water for a long period of time. If no water is inside, it passes IP44. Mr Beams' battery-powered Ceiling Light--and all other Mr Beams LED lights--have passed IP44 and are water resistant for indoor and outdoor use.

So if you have dark shower phobia like me, please take a look at our Ceiling Light. It mounts easily to a shower ceiling in minutes. It will go on as soon as you step into the shower because of its motion sensor, and turn off automatically after you leave the shower. It will brightly light up the shower and keep away the spiders and psychos.

Bright Wireless Shower Lights--The Best Way to Light A Dark Shower?


We had many inquiries for a bright solution for dark showers - shower lights - this weekend. It's funny because we see uses for our products come in waves. Sometimes there are a rash of inquiries for garage lights, sometimes it's closet lights. In the summer, we have more requests for products that will be used outdoors, and the opposite is true for winter.

When your bathroom's plenty bright, you don't think about extra lighting in the shower. However, buy a house with a bathroom that has a vanity light, add a shower curtain, and take a shower in the early morning or night and you'll see that you can't see! The shower is too dark. The solution has generally been confined to hardwired options--call an electrician for the wiring and installation and a contractor to tear up your tile or drywall and ceiling and redo once the electrician has been finished. That's great but not practical unless you've budgeted for a new bathroom. That is the kind of home improvement that you think you can accomplish "in a weekend for a couple of hundred dollars". There is a better solution to light a dark shower: the Anywhere Ceiling Lights are perfect for this application. You can mount the Mr. Beams wireless LED light on the ceiling or the wall and the motion sensor technology will activate the lights when it's dark and you're in the shower.

The LED lights are plenty bright--at 80 lumens, you'll get enough light to distinguish between the Irish Spring and the Caress (Irish Spring is "the scent that she loves" but not on her and, guys, you probably are not after the "silky fragrance infusion" touted by Caress. Or maybe you are. Who knows...)and the IP44 rating supports all splash-proof applications, like showers, rain, snow, etc so the Mr. Beams LED Ceiling lights are definitely shower-worthy.

The Anywhere Ceiling Light is not limited to uses in the bathroom, of course, it can be used, well, anywhere. Mr Beams offers affordable lighting options where you need light but may not want to spend a fortune to get it. You don't need an electrician, just a dark shower or other area where it'd be nice to have some reliable lighting. Think about lighting dark sheds, dark closets, dark porches and dark attics. All dark areas can have bright LED light without wires by installing the Mr. Beams wireless LED Ceiling Light.
