20 Best Wattage For Bathroom Light (2023 Updated)

This is a very sleek and stylish lighting fixture for my guest bathroom remodeling project. We found it simple to install with our advanced level of expertise, but installation should go smoothly for beginners as well.

I have chosen a updated contemporary decor and the light does a nice job of complimenting my aesthetic instead of competing for attention. Perfectly combines form and functionality. The surfaces look refined, smooth, and top quality.

I enjoy the illuminating glow, it lights up the vanity area very well. I would highly recommend to others.

Good product easy to install. I did not think about the trim piece that covers the electrical box and this one was smaller than the original. I noticed after removing the old fixture that I had some unpainted areas that the new light would not cover.

I had to paint the wall before installing the new fixture.

The lights look nice. But for the cost I am surprised the lens cover is plastic. Disappointing. I guess the description “acrylic” means plastic. I thought it was a frosted glass cover.

This wall sconce is a perfect fit for my hallway that leads to the living room. It’s super complimentary with the brushed nickel and doesn’t stick out to far nor is it to wide/long. It’s the perfect size on my wall and gives off just enough lighting so that I can see yet isn’t too bright or too dark.

I plan on buying one so I can add it to the hallway about seven feet before this one so there’s one at each end. It really is a perfect addition to my home and have received quite a few compliments on it.

It was easy enough to install that my husband had it installed and ready to go in under ten minutes.

I knew as soon as I saw this vanity light that I wanted it in my bathroom. I ordered it in brushed nickel and it matches my brushed nickel shower rod. It’s a warm silver so I think it would match most decor.

The glass is thick and frosty. The vanity itself is very heavy but I like that since that seems to be a sign of good quality. Make sure you mount it on something that will for sure hold it. The fun thing about this vanity is that you can flip it either up so that the glass looks like flowers or down so that the glass looks like bells.

I like the bell look the best. I think it will also be easier to dust with the glass facing down. The look is classic yet modern. I believe it goes well with an americana or modern theme. A truly gorgeous and transitional piece.

The instructions are easy to understand. I included a picture to give the idea of how the glass can be up or down depending on how you flip the vanity. I absolutely love this light! It fits perfectly in my bathroom and it looks even better in person! I want more lights from this line.

I’m extremely impressed with quality and function of this sconce. The bronze is eye catching and beautiful. The light was easy to install and the directions were clear and precise. The light gives off great brightness and is also easy to clean.

I definitely recommend this sconce.

I have to say that this beautiful 3 light vanity fixture complete the look of my bathroom remodel. We recently had the whole bathroom done, countertops, fixtures, etc. There was one thing missing. The previous light fixture took away from the remodel since it no longer matched.

We replaced it with this one and it looks beautiful. I really appreciate the frost glass covers. It provides nice lighting no matter what bulb you choose to use. Installing this was easy with the easy to read, easy to follow instructions.

We had it up in no time. I will be redoing my 4 other bathrooms and will be purchasing more of this same fixture since we like to have everything uniform. I highly recommend, you will not be disappointed.

I had replaced my faucet fixtures with Tuscan bronze and was looking for ways to continue that theme. The Olde Bronze look of this vanity light perfectly complements the faucet in the sink underneath the mirror.

Installation was not difficult but did require a few extra steps since the light I was replacing was much smaller and (oddly enough) wasn’t quite centered over the mirror. However it was soon done and I was so pleased with the result! I wanted the globes to open up instead of down, because while it seems sturdy enough, I did not want to run the risk of a loose globe falling out and shattering.

The slight amber tint to the globes gives the perfect ambiance to my bathroom. I’m already thinking of adding a couple of small sconces in this same design. Traditional with a touch of modern. Perfect!.

Yet another quality product from Kichler! I’ve been needing an updated light fixture in my bathrooms. Since my master is on the main floor, I decided to update it first and picked this beauty. I would have preferred antique brass, but it wasn’t available, so went with brushed nickel.

This piece is beautiful and does a good job illuminating my bathroom. Those who wear makeup will appreciate the quality of light this provides. I thought I had good lighting with my former fixture, but this was an upgrade in that aspect as well! It’s a classy, modern look above my sink! Love it!.

Great price, cheaper than buying similar item from H. Depot or L. owes. Installation were pretty straight forward, positive, negative, ground – comes with Twist-on wire connectors! But you have to take off all the socket cover to install it.

When you take it off, it will scratch the ceramic-like socket material, not good but it’s not very visible once you put the cover back. However, please note that sockets holes and base are very much visible (and kind of ugly) unless you view the fixture at a distance (not like it shown in the product picture).

We plan to remodel our restroom in the near future and the current fixture has corroded sockets thus need to replace, this is a decent temporary solution. I imagine you might want to look for other option if you want more high-end look.

We put 4 100w led bulbs in it, the restroom is so bright. :).

Absolutely excellent! Excellent product, excellent quality. Delivered quickly. No dents or flaws in the products. Easy to install. They look great! A special shout out to Alexis. She rectified a mistake I made and made a return very easy.

I’ll definitely be back as a customer.

Replacement lamp for a master bath remodel. Very modern attractive light. About a 10-12 minute install once we realized how to take it apart to install. Thin metal but I would not say its easily bendable without exerting some force.

We purchased G25 Globe LED Light Bulb from Home Essentials DirectG25 Globe LED Light Bulb, 5W (40W Equiv. ), 360 Uniform Light UL Energy Star, 5000K Daylight Non-dimmable Vanity Style for Make Up, Pendant, Bathroom, Dressing Room, Pack of 6 to complete the install.

I recently received the Feit Electric Smart LED 9 Watts (60W Eq. ) Color Changing/Tunable White Light Bulb in the 3 Pack. I had no problems getting this bulb to work as I’ve done other smart bulbs and found the biggest issue is not being on the same network when doing the initial setup.

Make sure that you have a 2. 4 GHz Wi-Fi network and that your phone is also on the 2. 4 GHz network. Download the Feit Electric App and follow the instructions. I renamed my bulbs something easy to make using them with Alexa memorable.

Once you get the bulbs working, you can set your phone back to the network you usually use. For mine, it’s on the 5 GHz. The bulbs will still work through the app or with Alexa. I tested them with Alexa on the different specs and it worked pretty good on recognizing and fulfilling my commands.

I think the real test for me will be when I suffer power outages. Some of my other smart things (plug, other light bulbs) lose their programming and I have to often go through set-up again. Oh, and one important thing when doing set-up: do not face the bulb.

I like how clean these look compared to the older bulbs they replaced. The older bulbs seems to show imperfections while these just show a clean look. They are very bright but when used with a dimmer, makes it perfect for any brightness needs.

Of course, the energy saved by using them is great also.

These bulbs illuminated our bathroom vanity with the ideal amount of light. I chose the warm white 3000k bulbs after reading other reviews because I needed something bright enough for my aging eyes but not so bright that it would make me blind.

Locally, it was difficult to find these bulbs.

The lights flash subtle but intermittently. Rougly once per second, but not always. Gets really annoying. All lights in the two boxes of 6 I purchased have this same problem. Would return, but need lights.

With so many retailers available that offer the product I wanted, I went with you. first time customer. The item arrived quickly and intact. The added gift was a bonus. I am completely satisfied and highly recommend to anyone interested in good, competent service!.

Hefty and good quality pair. Well designed covers.

Brilliant customer service, great help and advice.

These are very good bulbs at the best price around that I could find. However, the colors emitted are not absolutely perfect as a philips bulb would be, just close. Like one Amazon reviewer said, about this Tourchstar brand, great for a guest bathroom, or any bathroom, you do not need for the exact and perfect color of your cloths (he used a spectrophotometer, if I am remembering correctly, because he had one and was in a business that needed one).

Zero stars because the light is not bright enough be used with a vanity! There was no way I could see well enough to shave by it nor could my wife put on makeup by such a weak light. We returned it, which was fairly easy, but we did waste contractors time which we were billed for.

So, not good!.

Love that this has LEDs and I no longer have to replace lightbulbs. Disappointed at how dim this was though we had to put an additional light in the bathroom to compensate for it.

Exactly as expected Low profile modern lightYou can adjust the temperature yourself on the fixture, in case you are not sure which version to pick (ie it doesn’t rally matter since you can change it yourself).

I chose this lamp primarily for its appearance — quite compatible with the retro-farmhouse motif in my bathroom. Many color options available, so it was easy to find a good match for my gray and white color scheme.

The construction of this fixture is lightweight yet sturdy, and the quality of finish is excellent. I am completely satisfied with the light. Packaging was very secure, too.

Beautiful styling, and absolutely perfect finishes. Also well packaged, and shipped very fast by Houzz. Gauge of metal feels a tad on the light side when you pick it up, but that will have no real effect on functionality, or durability; and once it’s hung it looks very solid.

Angle of shades are also adjustable by loosening toggles on cap of each light.

Quality is average. Mounting canopy was warped so it doesn’t sit level on the wall. The three lamps were not all aligned in height. One was higher than the other two. The black paint scratches really easily.

It’s a cheap, overpriced metal light.

Beautiful chrome finish. We preferred the globes facing down and used round, frosted 40 watt equivalent bulbs. This allowed even lighting of the globes. Thanks Build for having this at a reasonable price, in stock and quick shipping.

Wow, I am so happy to have this installed in my bathroom. The Eileen 4 Light Vanity really gives my bathroom a modern look. The fixture was easy to install, with the provided instructions. My husband had it up and operating in less than 45 minutes.

Most of the time was used uninstalling the old vanity light we had. If you looking to update your current lighting and love a modern look, you’ll love the brushed nickel look and four glass covers that sit above the single bar.

Thanks for making a quality product that had improved my home.

A nice light. Great for our kids bathroom. Got it all wired up and it didn’t work though. Had to take it back down and found wires were loose in the wire nut from the factory. Just a five minute removal of the tape and redoing the wire nut so all connections were made, and it worked like a charm.

Notably when I received the unit, the box looked like it was all taped back up from a previous person that returned it. It probably didn’t work for them at first and the probably didn’t think to check the wires in the unit to address themselves.

Also, there was a lot of ceramic debris in the threads for the plastic rings holding the glass in place. I had to knock out the ceramic on all four items carefully with a screw driver to get things to rings to screw down tight enough.

But those are all minor easy fixes. But does show a general lack to QA/QC by the company manufacturing the unit. Just so you are aware going in if you purchase this fixture.

Exactly the right color!! Looks fantastic in my bathroom!! Glad I could order chrome rather than brushed. Perfect!. Fast delivery too. Excellent customer service. We dropped a shade and it broke. Called the company and they are sending out a new shade ASAP.

We are decorating our new inlaw suite in a “By The Beach” theme, aqua walls & complimenting window treatment, bed linens, etc. The adjoining bathroom is a sandy color, with dark wood vanity & large mirror.

This beautiful & unique light fixture is perfect for tieing the two rooms colors together without overdoing the aqua wall color. The base is also a perfect match for the mirror & vanity. We are very happy with this stunning & decorative light fixture!.

It looks good and I’m not sorry I bought it. But. The mounting plate does not conform to the dimensions of a switch box, nor do the mounting machine screws. To be fair, I replacing a fixture that was installed on a switch box.

Since that’s not uncommon, you might find yourself drilling a new hole on the mounting plate and digging out some 6-32 cap head machine screws. The mount for the shades are not perpendicular to the back plate.

I had to gently bend two of them to make the bottoms of the shades parallel to the bottom of the plate. The swirl design on the shades is water soluble. You’ll be okay with the random splashes from the sink but if you rub a bit with water, let alone a bathroom cleaner, you’ll add clear blotches to the subtle swirls.

The Good – Installation was a breeze with the backing plate to level out first before the light and a variety of options for securing to the electrical box and wall. In the end, it fits the bill for our bathroom and looks good for the size (36″ vanity).

Pricing wise it’s fair on the money compared with what you could pay from other *online* stores. More on box store comparisons later. The Bad – The finish is NOT bronze. Not even close. It’s matt black rubbed off on the edges to show the metal underneath.

Not a dealbreaker for us but not what is described. – It’s cheap. Like very cheap. Metal is thin tin and the shades look to be under 1/8″ thick and light as a feather. When you pick the large shipping box up you will be surprised by the lack of weight.

We’ll see how the glass holds up to 100W bulbs and the metal to moisture in the bathroom. The Meh – It’s cheaply made for sure but it’s hanging on the wall and looks pretty good (if you’re not expecting bronze).

From that perspective does it need to be heavy or feel good, probably not. You’re only looking at it. You can pick up more substantcial pieces at the standard big box store for the same price but they didn’t have quite what we were looking for in the size we wanted, Amazon did.

Difficult to take pictures of a light but this was actually nicer than we thought. Packed very well, everything there nothing broken and works great! We choose to put the lights up instead of down (can go either way).

The covers are smoky white so doesn’t really hinder lighting like some of those covers (that’s one thing I didn’t want) but we put in daylight led bulbs that’s equivalent to 60 watts (I think 1000 or 1500 lumens can’t remember) and nice and bright the way we like it.

We tried the warm led bulbs and came out too yellow looking. Please make sure you check out different bulbs before just putting them in because you can tell if you have two different colored/mood bulbs.

Believe me I spent hours trying to figure out what was what. if it days warm lights (usually cheaper bulbs) it gives off yellow hue. if daylight, it’s brightest and more white which in my opinion I think looked better on this fixture than the warm/yellowish hue.

Good luck and enjoy!!.

Well made, high quality product. The copper is beautiful and the glass globes are just perfect. Looks amazing in my guest bathroom with other copper accessories!

This is a quality fixture. It is capable of bringing bright light to a significant area through its four lights, each of which can accommodate up to a 100-watt bulb. It is pricey – but, to me, worth it.

very pretty fixture. be sure to check measurements as it is a little larger looking in person that I thought. Brass color is rich looking! we installed facing down..

We have received compliments on this light fixture. We bought it for the upstairs bath the space is narrow for a standard bathroom vanity fixture. It fit and looks great.

I love this product. This is the prettiest vanity light I have ever seen.
