How would this function as a vanity light in a bathroom? Its a shotgun bathroom with a long vanity. would wall mount over long mirror.

The fixture itself is not very long, however the lights can be adjusted to aim wherever you'd like them too! Very versatile fixture! And it puts out an enormous amount of light! I'm really, really pleased with mine and am planning on purchasing another smaller one.

Honestly the lights are super bright so that wouldn't be the issue. However they are really small. Vanity lights are typically larger and are down lights. This is better for pointing in different directions.

Yes, it can hang in a vanity in a bathroom and would like great there but the light cast is vertical (unlike most vanity mirrors that cast light from the wall) and so another light source may be needed if application of makeup will take place in the bathroom. The crystals could possibly be shortened but would take very exact measuring and significant work and would likely require crimping rings (like for jewelery making). The strings are attached with a tiny metal ring and are made to exact length to form the spheres on two levels.

It can be shortened. But, hanging this in a bathroom sounds pretty tacky unless, of course, you have mirrors over your bed, as well.

I placed my light on the bathroom counter and I use it every morning while getting ready for work. If the light feels too bright, i just move it so it is not facing me directly.

Think it needs to be mounted. The razor holder/shelf wouldn't balance the mirror.

Hi, you would get plenty of light. I have this lamp on my bathroom and I live it. Super recommend.

The mirror doesn't have a light. It is just a mirror on a foldaway arm that we have attached to the wall in such a way that our bathroom light is behind the mirror and provides all the light we need.

on its own, no you can't. You'd have to have something like a build out or a wooden box or something to attach it to. I actually need to do that because my medicane cabinet is about 5" deep and the light sits atop it and not much shines down in front so you can't see very well in the mirror.

We have a small wall space, so it sits on our vanity. It has holes drilled into the back tubes that LONG screws could go through into the wall. I'm sure you would need to put the screws in with wall anchors.

This would be overkill. These are pretty large, as well as very hot. You would also need plenty of space for them. Try installing lighting along the sides (instead of across the top) of your mirror in your bathroom. You would get double the light and at the correct angles. Then look for cool heat light bulbs with "daylight" Kelvin. Some say 5500k some argue 5400k (some,5600k) at whatever wattage suits you, depending on how many bulbs you have installed.

Instead of one at the top of the mirror horizontally, I put one vertically on each side of the mirror. I absolutely LOVE them and they are plenty bright, though some people I've showed them to think they are a bit bright for the area (8' x 4' vanity area - the 4' being side-to-side and 8' being front-to-back). They don't bother me at all.

Yes, it can be installed either way. We preferred to install it facing up because we wanted to use energy efficient light bulbs. This way the light bulbs are not visible. Also this light fixture is fairly large and we didn't want the lights to hang over the vanity mirror.

Agree with everyone's comments. I think it would look nice in a bathroom but it might not be bright enough due to the frosted cover. I have it in my small hallway in my condo and the light comes out thru the sides. I love the look of it though!

The mounting options are numerous. The mounting bracket is a right angle, full length bracket with two key holes on each side of the bracket (4 holes total). The light also has two screw holes so it can be mounted directly. I mounted mine under the sink in cramped space, so I just screwed the bracket directly to my cabinet and snapped the light into the bracket. Worked great. It also comes with 3m two sided tape.

Ha! That's the beauty!! we put this on a wall that backs to a shower in another bathroom, so there could be NO HOLE! It's an external mount, and you get mirrored pieces to stick on the sides. It's beautiful!

Actually, I haven't mounted mine yet. I will eventually use it for putting on my makeup and it's a good size/diameter for that. As far as extension size goes, you'll need to figure out how far from the wall it needs to extend for your use and see if the mirror will accommodate that.

This light is battery operated, therefore it should be able to be placed over a sink. The batteries are in the back and the light bulbs are covered with a lense. As long as the light is not immersed in water it should be fine.
