Where the Esfera Medium LED Bath Bar works in the house

Single vanities. Center the fixture over the mirror, no wider than the mirror itself, so faces are lit evenly.

Double vanities. Use one fixture above each sink, centered on the basin, or one above each mirror.

Powder rooms and guest baths. In a small room a single fixture with an even diffuser is often enough; add a dimmer for night use.

Room planner: size, height and placement

The numbers below come from the manufacturer's specifications and our own placement rules, worked out for the Esfera Medium LED Bath Bar.

• Mirror width it suits: about 32–36" (fixture about ⅔ to ¾ of the mirror width, never wider; our rule of thumb)
• Above the mirror: center about 75–80" from the floor, a few inches above the mirror (our advice)
• Double vanity: one above each sink, centered on the basin
• How far it sticks out: 3.4", within the 4" limit for circulation paths

Ceiling and table figures are our calculation for standard room dimensions, so measure your space. Have a licensed electrician install hardwired fixtures.

Pulling the room together

Match the finish to the faucet and towel bar, and keep the vanity light on a separate switch from the ceiling light so mornings and late nights have different settings.

For commercial and multi-unit projects

For hotel bathrooms, spas and multifamily units, specify one fixture and one color temperature across all rooms so finish and light match on every floor. We can total quantities by room type.

Care, cleaning and upkeep

The LED is built in, so there are no bulbs to replace (rated 50,000 hours to L70). Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, power off; avoid spraying glass cleaner directly onto the fixture in a steamy bathroom (our advice). Natural brass is a living finish that patinas with age; a brass cleaner restores it if the patina becomes uneven (Visual Comfort). Visual Comfort covers it with a 5-year warranty.
