Hi Brittany! So glad you're asking about this! Lighting is something so underestimated in interior design, and in particular bathrooms. I'm a bathroom designer for Bathroom Eleven so perhaps I can offer some tips! Firstly, my design colleague Johanna wrote a great blog on this on our website - https://bathroomeleven.co.uk/bathroom-lighting-how-to-get-it-right/ - so give that a little peek! Secondly, as a general rule, I always factor in two things for Bathroom Lighting - Task and Mood lighting. Ceiling LEDs give a great, bright, broad lighting cover for your bathroom meaning its perfect for practical day to day uses. However, at the end of the day, when you're wanting to relax - or for those midnight trips to the loo! - it's really nice to factor in some softer lighting. Under vanity unit LED's, soft wall lights, plinth lights, illuminating recess, or mirrors - all these things offer you that secondary lighting option that can really lift your bathroom! Check out some of our portfolio for other ideas :) Hope this helps! - Adam

which option is better ?

Definitely had a glass shade. What your looking for is a replacement with a neck so the lip sits on top of the screws. This site has a good selection but double check the diameter of the fitting: https://jmoncrieff.co.uk/John-Moncrieff-replacement-glass-light-shades/John-Moncrieff-clear-globe--with-neck-in-various--sizes- Ebay is a good source for replacement shades as well.
