LED shower niche lights
LED shower niche lights
LED shower niche lighting is one of the most technical bathroom renovation projects — permanent humidity, steam, cleaning products and each niche's specific dimensions require an LED solution specifically designed for the shower environment, IP67 rated and manufactured to the exact niche dimensions. LEDCO has been a specialist in LED shower niche lighting for over 12 years — we cut the aluminum profile and LED strip to the millimeter-exact dimension of your niche, ready to recess.
Aluminum Profile #86 — The Premium Shower Niche LED Solution
Aluminum profile #86 is our primary solution for recessed LED shower niche lighting. Its ultra-discreet flush design integrates perfectly into ceramic, porcelain or natural stone — light appears to emanate directly from the niche surface with no visible hardware. The superior opal diffuser completely masks individual LED chips and produces perfectly uniform light across the full niche width. Through our custom manufacturing tool, the profile is cut to your shower niche's exact width — to the millimeter, no on-site cutting or adjustment needed. Compatible with IP67 waterproof LED strips rated for permanent humidity and direct shower spray.
Aluminum Profile #85 — Surface Mount with Directional Lighting
Profile #85 is the surface-mount alternative for shower niches where recessing isn't possible — existing tile, shallow niche or specific configurations. It mounts directly on the niche back or sides with waterproof mechanical fasteners. Its directional lighting accentuates niche depth and creates shadow play on ceramic and stone textures. Also available in custom manufacturing to your exact dimensions.
IP67 Certification — Why It's Essential for Shower Niches
In a shower environment, IP rating is non-negotiable. IP67 means: complete resistance to water spray and submersion up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. An IP65 LED strip (water jet resistant) is acceptable in light spray zones, but IP67 is recommended for the back of a niche directly in the shower water flow. LEDCO's IP67 LED strips used in shower niches withstand continuous steam, bathroom cleaning products and daily hot-cold thermal cycling. The anti-corrosion anodized finish on the aluminum profiles resists permanent humidity and chlorinated cleaners. ETL and CSA certified for Canadian electrical code compliance.

Recommended Color Temperature for a Shower Niche
For a shower niche, the recommended color temperature is 2700K to 3000K — warm, soft light that creates a spa ambiance, promotes relaxation and highlights ceramic and stone textures. Neutral 4000K white is acceptable if the shower is also used for precise grooming tasks (shaving, skincare) where sharper light is advantageous. Variable CCT strips allow switching between 2700K for the evening bath and 4000K for the morning shower — from a waterproof controller or a bathroom wall switch. CRI 90+ recommended to faithfully reproduce natural skin tones in the shower.
