Good bathroom lighting starts at the mirror. Our bathroom lighting collection brings together bath bars, multi-light vanity fixtures and wall sconces in finishes from matte black and brushed nickel to polished brass, so you can match your faucets and hardware. Light from both sides of the mirror when you can, or mount a bar above it so faces are lit evenly without harsh shadows.
Consider the colour of the light too: warm white around 2700K to 3000K is flattering for skin tones, while cooler light suits modern bathrooms with a crisp feel. Dimmable fixtures let you move from bright morning routines to a relaxed evening soak.
Check the product page for width, backplate size, bulb type and wet or damp rating before you order. Not sure where to place a fixture?

Frequently asked questions
How wide should a vanity light be over my mirror?
Choose a fixture about 75 percent of the mirror width, and never wider than the mirror. A 36 inch mirror pairs well with a 24 to 27 inch bar. For a double vanity, use one fixture over each sink or one long bar centred between them.
What damp rating do I need for a bathroom?
Most vanity lights are fine when listed for damp locations, which covers areas outside the direct spray of the shower. Fixtures inside a shower or tub enclosure need a wet rating. The rating is listed on every product page.
How many bulbs do I need?
Aim for roughly 75 to 100 watts of incandescent equivalent light, which is about 800 to 1,600 lumens, for a typical vanity. That is two to three bulbs on a single bar, or more on a larger fixture. LED bulbs give you the same light for far less energy.
Should vanity lights face up or down?
Down-facing fixtures cast more focused light on the sink, while up-facing ones give softer, more even light across the face and ceiling. Mounting height is typically 75 to 80 inches from the floor to the centre of the fixture, adjusted to your mirror.
