You will get the most favourable light for the face with one lamp on each side of the mirror directed at you. “A lamp with a rectangular form is good for spreading light and common in bathrooms in particular. The designers that created KABOMBA, played around with the form by dividing the wall lamp into three circles in a row. It gives a nice graphic expression.” There’s also a round wall lamp with a magnifying mirror in the series that’s good when you put in your lenses or apply makeup.

Reviews
Difficult install, extremely brightAnonymous reviewerThis is a very difficult light to install. Now that it’s fitted I’ve tried it on an evening and the light is obnoxiously bright. It’s bright enough to cast shadows. I’m going to have to take this down and return it.
Simple designAnonymous reviewerLove this bathroom light, second one I have purchased. Sad to see that it is no longer going to be available. Clean, simple lines and provides great lighting in a bathroom.
Dreadful to install.. will be impossible for many.Anonymous reviewerOk. I’m good with installing lights but this one is (by poor design) nigh on impossible. If you have a single long wire protruding from your ceiling then you may be ok, but many houses have more than one wire and/or connectors below the ceiling, if you have this config than you cannot install the light. No electrician would be able to either… it’s simply a lack of space, The design has room for one cable only, and no clearance on the other side of the mounting bracket. I installed another ikea light last week and it was a breeze. Every light I’ve ever bought has a cavity and clearance for the cables to bunch up into, every ikea light I’ve bought has, but not this one. A poor poor design. It’s going back.
REALLY BRIGHT FOR A SMALL ROOM - Not dimmableAnonymous reviewerREALLY BRIGHT FOR A SMALL ROOM - Not dimmable via control (or maybe just my dimmer?)
good looking light, but really could summon batman if it was shon into the sky

Story
Hotel vibes in the bathroom
What do you feel when you step into your bathroom? Maybe it’s just a practical space for a quick check in the mirror before the day starts. With KABOMBA lighting series, we want to turn your bathroom into something more. With the right lamps in the right place, the bathroom lighting provides both functional light and a nice atmosphere – a bit like in a hotel.
How should you plan your bathroom lighting? “Bathrooms can look very different when it comes to size, style and functions. So, the best advice is to combine different light sources,” says Anna Granath, who works with lighting at IKEA. “You need general lighting from the ceiling when you clean, and a soft, glare-free light close to the mirror that doesn’t create shadows in the face."
The right light for the face
Create atmosphere with the lighting
The wall lamps are dimmable, so you can easily adjust the brightness depending on the time of the day or what you are doing. Because lighting in the bathroom isn’t only a matter of function, you can also use it to create atmosphere and a personal style. “We’ve been inspired by classic hotels and want KABOMBA to contribute to a little everyday luxury. When the light turns on, we hope you can unwind and put the outside world on hold for a while."
