Vanity lights should be hung over the mirror and centered on the plumbing. The centerline of the vanity light should be hung 72” above the floor.

How should you install vanity lights?

Both the mirror and the room size must be considered when determining which is best for your space. Visit our Bathroom Selection Guide for additional suggestions on vanity lights.

What size should the light fixture be over the bathroom vanity?

This is more of a preference. With the exposed light bulb facing down, there will be a bit more light, but glare will increase. With the diffuser/glassware facing up, some light may get blocked, but the glare can be reduced.
