Blackjack Lighting Nano 36-Inch LED Vanity Light, Nickel or Chrome

Nano is a minimal, 36-inch bar of light for over the bathroom mirror. A thin rectangular LED bar sits across a small square back plate, so it looks almost weightless on the wall, and at 36 inches long it spans a single wide vanity, a 36 to 48 inch mirror, or a powder-room mirror with room to spare. In Satin Nickel or Polished Chrome it suits Modern, Scandinavian and Transitional bathrooms, and it is equally at home in hotel guest baths, spa and gym locker rooms, and office washrooms. It can also mount above a piece of art, a kitchen window or a desk hutch.

The light is clean and even across the face. A 30-watt integrated LED delivers 1,270 lumens of warm 3000K light at 90 CRI, so skin tones, makeup and tile colors look natural, and the long diffuser spreads it smoothly with no hot spots. It is JA8 compliant for California Title 24, rated for damp locations, and dims on a standard 120V TRIAC dimmer. This version uses the deep back plate, which holds the driver inside the fixture rather than in the wall box.

Why it works at the mirror

• Even face lighting: a continuous 36 in (91.4 cm) LED bar washes light across the whole mirror.
• Bright enough for grooming: 1,270 lumens from 30 W.
• True color: 90 CRI for makeup, shaving and skin tones.
• Minimal profile: 4.6 in (11.7 cm) high at the plate, 2.8 in (7.1 cm) deep.
• Code friendly: JA8 compliant and damp location rated.
• Dimmable on a standard 120V TRIAC dimmer, with a three-year warranty on the LED and power supply.

Where to use it

• Over a single vanity: center it above a 36 to 48 in mirror, about 75 to 80 in (190 to 203 cm) above the floor.
• Double vanity: one Nano over each mirror, as in the double-sink photo above.
• Powder rooms and guest baths: a clean, compact bar that lights the face without crowding a small wall.
• Hotels, gyms and offices: a durable, efficient fixture that repeats well down a row of mirrors.

FAQ

What size vanity light do I need?

Choose a fixture about two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the mirror. The 36 in Nano suits mirrors about 42 to 54 in wide; for a 30 in mirror look at the 25 in Nano.

How high should it be mounted?

Typically 75 to 80 in above the floor, or a few inches above the top of the mirror.

Can it go in a bathroom with a shower?

Yes. Blackjack rates Nano for damp locations, so it is fine over a vanity in a full bathroom; keep it out of direct water spray.

What dimmer do I need?

A standard 120V TRIAC (incandescent-style) dimmer; an LED-rated model gives the smoothest range.

Satin Nickel or Polished Chrome?

Match your faucet: Polished Chrome for bright chrome fittings, Satin Nickel for brushed nickel or stainless.
