Well-lit locker rooms set a positive, uplifting mindset for students and athletes preparing to engage in sports or physical activities. While at the same time, they can also be prone to vandalism resulting from the occasional raucous behavior and lack of supervision. In addition, shower room lighting must be bright to support strong visibility and avoid accidental slips on wet tile floors. It must also be sealed and wet location listed due to potential ingress of the water and steam produced in the shower. Since corrosion is a significant consideration near showers and pools, the use of aluminum or stainless-steel fixtures is highly recommended.
Within educational locker rooms and showers, occupants are typically unsupervised, emphasizing the need for high abuse fixture selection. Exit signs and electrical devices are also at risk of unintentional damage. For higher ceilings, pendant mounting may be preferred. To optimize high vertical illuminance, consider wrap style fixtures. It is also important that illuminance calculations include locker positions and colors, as both will have an impact on visual performance.
Kenall will repair or replace qualifying luminaires rendered inoperable due to intentional abuse by vandals or accidental impact for the normal service life of the fixture.

Lighting in shower areas can create shock hazard concerns. These downlights go beyond wet locations listings by electrically isolating the exposed surfaces, adding extra protection from the risk of shock.
