that's nice, to see what other people are up to :cool:
Tomorrow I'll take some photos of the room ... (unfortunately there's no light yet ;))

Here you can see the planned spot for the lamp under the ceiling. In the foreground, you are looking through the entrance door. The door is visible from the inside in the mirror.

To the left of the window, a bathroom cabinet will be installed above the sockets. Where the mirror is standing, a mirror will be placed (all the way up).
The room lighting should run from left to right under the ceiling. The cabinet will have glass shelves so that it can be illuminated from above internally (and because glass is easy to clean).

This is a tiny bathroom and I am very happy about the "squeezed-in" sink, which does not create any cramped impression when in use.

The first plan described above was to provide sufficient light with a few GU10 LEDs behind a milky acrylic glass panel. (Plexiglass can be bent with heat and the connection from bottom to front should be rounded. The switched cable for the power is rolled up and ready.)
Meanwhile, I am considering a plexiglass tube that runs the entire width (an impressive 2.15 meters) along the top corner with an LED strip inside it. These are now quite bright. (But finding something to compare brightness and durability is not easy because the information in the offers is quite sparse and varied.)

after I just searched for plexiglass tubes, I know that there are also thick tubes in which I could even install "my" GU10 sockets with LED crosswise. 150 to 200 mm tube diameter is no problem.

... another trail to follow ...

The topic of daylight LED panel lights would also be worth considering, they act like a window in the ceiling and can be adjusted and controlled according to the lighting mood

And one more idea:

one (or two) spot lamp(s) (spotlight or so, with a small beam angle) on the left, behind glass, shining on mirrors that redirect the light downwards.
That would solve the safety problem (at least over the shower) and could look interesting.
What seems difficult to me is that the lamps could glare. I’m not sure if it makes sense to make the mirrors matte.

1. Which safety problem? Do you actually read the answers you get here? 2. Interesting is the little sister of sh... - please forget the idea. You don't always have to look for the most extraordinary solution. Sometimes it's helpful to just be normal ;)
