what size light fixture for bathroom vanity?
Comments (1)Cut out some paper rectangles in various sizes (18", 24", 28", 32", and 36"). Tape them up one at a time and see which size seems right. When I did this in a similar situation, it was really helpful. I could see immediately that a 36" fixture seemed perfect for one 5' vanity, but was way too small for another 7' vanity....See Morewhat size light fixture over bathroom vanity?
Comments (2)It'll be fine. Leaves a foot on each end, so it will look nice and uncluttered. Most multi-light bars over the mirror actually put out too much light, IMO. I have a three light over a 36, and use 20 watt bulbs in it. Anything more is too much. The trend today is side lighting, which really is more flattering-- hides the crows feet and wrinkles until you enter the real lit-from-above world, at which time you look like you again. But it would be very tight given the size of your mirror....See MoreBathroom Vanity fixture size help
Comments (0)I am purchasing my bathroom vanity lights this week. For my boy's bathroom, they have 2 vanities back to back from one another. The vanity is 54 inches long. The light fixture I purchased is a 4 light bar, measuring 28 inches across. Is this a good size for that space? In comparison to what we ave in our current home, a 36" vanity with a 24" light fixture. I know it will be enough light just don't want it to look out of proportion. The mirror will extend completely over the vanity and the light will go right above the mirror. I think anything bigger will be overwhelming and too much light....See MoreBathroom mirror vanity light swap or switch out mirror/light entirely?
Comments (2)Here is your dilemma. if you take down those fixtures there will be two holes in the mirror, that being said, they will be up high and most likely off center. So, to get new lighting that is not stuck in the corners, and covers the holes behind it, might be next to impossible unless you run a thick bar that covers the space. But some times back in the day they only drug wire over and did not put in actual junction boxes, so the bringing it to code might be another issue. 1. take one of the lights down and see what is going on 2. probably have to replace the mirror and move the electrical location....See Moreamandawarfield
