Bathroom Light Bars

Bathroom Light Bars

The straight lines and sleek appearance of linear lights will certainly dress up any style bathroom and add a fresh modern look to the space. Bathroom vanity lights creatively utilize a unified shade extended to cover the whole fixture to conceal and soften the light bulbs to create the perfect, even light without casting distracting shadows on the mirror.

Bath Light Bar Placement 

Centered above the mirror is the classic location for vanity bath lights, but modern lighting choices give you plenty of alternative positioning options. Linear bar lights work well when mounted vertically on each side of the mirror or situated horizontally above to illuminate the mirror and surrounding vanity space.This traditional location provides full light for tasks and is often the only option in a small powder room where vanity mirrors fill the entire wall. Look for a fixture that is roughly one-third the width of you mirror at minimum to prevent a visually, unbalanced look.

Over the Mirror: This traditional location provides full light for tasks and is often the only option in a small powder room where vanity mirrors fill the entire wall. Look for a fixture that is roughly one-third the width of you mirror at minimum to prevent a visually, unbalanced look.             

On the Sides of the Mirror: Placing two linear light bars one on each side is a great way to eliminate shadows.  For double vanities with two mirrors, use three light total with one in between. Exactly how far apart they are will depend on the size of your mirror and you will want to allow a few inches of space so that the paint or wall paper is visible between the mirror and light. 

 

Bathroom Light Bars are a necessary fixture in a room designed with intent and purpose, when paired with complimentary chandeliers or pendants  or wall sconces, they lavish appealing layers of illumination to create a versatile wash of light suitable for daily grooming or for creating a relaxing spa atmosphere.
