Visual Comfort Orbel 5-Light Bath Bar by Sean Lavin – 40.9-Inch, Damp Rated, Dimmable

Vanity lighting should be even, shadow-free and matched to the mirror. The Orbel 5-Light Bath Bar (5" tall × 40.9" wide) comes with the mirror-width and mounting-height guidance you need to plan the wall.

Damp rated · Outdoor under cover · Dimmable · ELV/TRIAC · G9 bi-pin sockets

Where the Orbel 5-Light 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 Orbel 5-Light Bath Bar.

• Mirror width it suits: about 55–62" (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: 6.9"
• Vertical placement: mount a pair beside the mirror, centered 60–66" high and 30–40" apart

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.
