The Brushed Nickel finish

Bathroom vanity lights in Brushed Nickel have a silvery color that’s less shiny than Chrome but richer and more metallic than plain Gray. The finish on Brushed Nickel vanity light fixtures mirrors stainless steel, yet offers a subtle, brushed texture to give your fixtures a softer look that complements a chic yet cozy atmosphere. An especially wise choice for hard-to-clean places, the Brushed Nickel finish doesn't show dust or fingerprints as easily as brighter finishes like Chrome or Brass.

Frequently Asked Questions About Brushed Nickel Vanity Lights

Does my Brushed Nickel vanity fixture need to be damp rated?

When selecting lighting for a bathroom, it’s important to make sure the fixtures you choose can withstand exposure to moisture—that is, a light fixture that is damp-rated for use in damp environments. Most bathrooms that have proper ventilation are considered damp environments, so you should outfit them with damp-rated fixtures. This ensures your Brushed Nickel vanity light can still perform at its best, even when steam and humidity from the shower fills the space.

How many lightbulbs do I need for my Brushed Nickel vanity lighting?

Brushed Nickel vanity light fixtures can range in the number of bulbs they house, so you’ll want to choose a model that provides the amount of light you need. We create vanity lights in two-, three-, and four-bulb designs to suit the size and layout of your bathroom.

Generally, 1600 lumens are necessary to get the right brightness for performing personal grooming in front of a mirror, so choose a vanity light fixture that suits both your lighting needs and style. LED bulbs can produce the same effect with fewer lumens, so the choice is yours!

If you have a large, open setting, you’ll likely need more lumens to effectively light your space, whereas compact powder rooms don’t need as much light since they’re smaller. Similarly, a long, narrow bathroom may require multiple light fixtures, while a square bathroom may only need one to fill the room with light.

Where can I install my Brushed Nickel vanity light?

Install vanity lights over your mirror to cast light in the areas you want it most. For a large mirror over a double vanity counter, choose a long, four-bulb fixture to light the whole mirror. If you’ve got a pair of smaller mirrors, installing two separate two-bulb fixtures, one over each mirror, will work better. Consider using a fixture with fewer lumens in a double vanity to avoid harsh lighting conditions, or choose a fixture with a shade to soften the light.
