Advice on lighting choice for semi-blind person.

whjohnson

Got a bathroom to redo to achieve better lighting.

Bathroom is square with an area the length of a standard bath - something like 2 to 2.5 metres square.

Customer has poor vision/eyesight so conventional light fittings, especially the 13w LED ‘flying saucer’ style such as Ansell Discos just won't given enough illumination, so am calling upon the expert advece and experience here to suggest some better lighting options. Downlights are out due to cost and very limited loft access, so better to stick with existing lighting position and   just change the fitting.

Any pointers would be most welcome.

    I'd second the advice about asking the person who needs it, or their carer, about the specific situation. Poor sight manifests in different ways, from it all going dim, or parts of the field oview becoming patchy, or loss of central vision, or bright objects flooding the field of view with a haze, and in many cases some colours may be more problematic than others. Apparently small changes can be really important, nasty accidents can be avoided by apparently silly things, like place mats and teapot stands that have contrasting borders. 

    Worth asking.
