Chrome Vanity Light

A vanity light is simply a light fixture that's fixed over a bathroom sink and is usually but not always paired with a mirror. And while it may contain several lights giving great illumination, it's not often the main lighting for the whole room.

Why Choose Chrome Bathroom Vanity Lights?

A chrome vanity light is an essential bathroom fixture that illuminates your daily grooming and beauty routine in style. Learn more about vanity lights from Hunter so you can choose the right fixture for your bathroom. Vanity lights come in a variety of materials, but choosing chrome has several advantages:

1. It's easy to coordinate with faucets and other bathroom fixtures, which are often finished in chrome, stainless steel, or another shiny metal.
2. A chrome fixture also makes a versatile choice because it fits easily into contemporary and classic interior decor styles.
3. A glistening chrome fixture can help to increase the sense of spaciousness in a smaller bathroom, as the light reflects off the fitting.
4. And lastly, chrome bathroom vanity light fixtures are fully corrosion-resistant and easy to clean, so they’ll stay looking great for years to come.

What to Consider When Choosing a Chrome Vanity Light Fixture

With that in mind, there are several more factors to consider when choosing which vanity light to buy.

How Many Lights Do You Need?

Most bathroom vanity light fixtures are made up of two or more bulbs to ensure the illumination is spread evenly across the sink and mirror. The number of bulbs you need in a fixture depends mainly on the size of your mirror. It's common bathroom design practice to choose a vanity light fixture that’s about three-quarters of the mirror's width, so for a smaller mirror, a two-light fixture probably works best. For larger mirrors, three or even four lights will give a good spread of illumination without taking too much attention away from the mirror.

How Bright Should the Lights Be?

To ensure you can see properly when washing up or putting on makeup, we recommend the vanity light fixture should have a minimum total lighting power of 1600 lumens, or approximately the equivalent of two old-style 60-watt bulbs.

Which Type of Bulbs Do You Need?

LED bulbs work well over a vanity mirror, as they give clear light without high energy use. However, you’ll want to pay attention to the kind of light the bulbs produce. It's usually best to choose one with a soft, warm color temperature which is easier on the eye than a cold, bright, blue color temperature reflecting back from the mirror.
