Can you put a light in a shower recess? 

When it comes to lighting up a shower recess of course you can but you need to take a few factors into consideration. 

Firstly it depends if your night is recessed downlights or strip lighting in the recess. 

Most common niche lighting is strip lighting as it more waterproof, resistant to moisture and the most popular reason is strip lighting looks the best due to the fact you can make the niche stand out. 

How to install strip lighting in your bathroom recess

When it comes to installing lighting n your recess above your bathroom or in the shower area its a fairly simple process. 

So ideally you will contact a local electrician and during the process of installing your shower niche and he can run the wiring required before waterproofing and tiling. 

Furthermore you can install Bluetooth enabled strip lighting if you supply a battery powered strip lighting but hardwired to a switch is much better process
