Bathroom Vanity Lights
Vanity lights are a subset of lighting fixtures that are installed over a bathroom sink, commonly on either side of or above a mirror. Vanity lights are considered task lighting and are not meant to fully light a bathroom on their own. These lighting fixtures provide proper lighting for important grooming tasks such as shaving or putting on makeup. They cast a flattering light on your face and provide a decorative element for your bathroom. The best lighting for your bathroom helps create a place to relax and recharge. And when it's done right, the payoff is great. After all, this is the room where you start and end your day.
Bathroom vanity light options are plentiful and no matter what your style is, you’re sure to find one that’s right for your space. At Zest lighting, bathroom vanity lights are available in an extensive array of designs and finishes that are aesthetically and functionally pleasing to match your home style and task lighting needs.

How to Choose the Best Bathroom Vanity Lights: Size, Finishes, Styles, and Installation Options
Selecting the right bathroom vanity lights is essential for creating a well-lit, stylish, and functional space. Whether you're updating an ensuite, powder room, or a luxury master bath, good vanity lighting enhances visibility, complements your decor, and provides proper lighting for grooming tasks. Below are key factors to consider when choosing bathroom vanity lights.
Key Considerations for Bathroom Vanity Lighting
- Purpose: Vanity lighting should provide even illumination for daily tasks like shaving, makeup application, and skincare, while also enhancing the ambiance of the space.
- Size: Choose a fixture that is proportional to your mirror and vanity. A general rule is to pick a light that is around 75% of the mirror’s width. For double vanities, consider two separate fixtures.
- Positioning: Wall sconces on both sides of the mirror reduce shadows, while bar-style vanity lights above the mirror provide even brightness across the face.
- Finishes & Colors: Many homeowners match their vanity lights to faucets and hardware, but mixing metals (such as brass wall lights with black accents) creates a modern, layered look. Opt for semi-opaque glass shades to diffuse light evenly.
- Brightness & Bulbs: For a well-lit vanity, aim for at least 1600 lumens. Dimmable fixtures allow for adjustable brightness, while LED vanity lights provide energy efficiency.
- Installation: Proper installation ensures safety and durability. In damp areas, choose IP-rated fixtures and hire a licensed electrician for secure mounting.
- Style & Materials: Whether you prefer sleek modern vanity lights or classic brass sconces, ensure they are moisture-resistant for longevity.

How to Choose the Right Bathroom Vanity Light
- Wall Sconces vs. Bar Lights: Wall sconces provide a traditional, elegant look, while bar-style vanity lights offer a modern feel with even illumination.
- Up & Down Lights: These fixtures distribute light both upwards and downwards, creating a balanced lighting effect.
- Damp vs. Wet-Rated Fixtures: If placed near a sink, damp-rated fixtures work well. For lighting near a shower, opt for wet-rated options.
- Mirror & Vanity Size: Choose a light that is proportionate to your mirror. For double vanities, either two matching sconces or a single long horizontal fixture works best.
- Energy Efficiency: LED bathroom vanity lights last longer and consume less energy than traditional bulbs.
