Bathroom lights with LED, pros/cons
It is definitely an advantage to have LED lighting in the bathroom as it provides a natural form of lighting. It's important to find out what kind of color temperature they want in their LED lighting, as the color temperature of an LED light source can be cold, warm or somewhere in between.
