It is generally recommended for the vanity mirror to be slightly narrower than the wall light above it. This allows the light to evenly illuminate the face without casting shadows. The mirror should be centered on the wall and aligned with the vanity for optimal functionality.

How wide should the light fixture be above the vanity mirror?

The light fixture above a vanity mirror should ideally be about 75-80% of the width of the mirror to ensure even lighting on the face and minimize shadows. This proportion helps to distribute light evenly across the face for tasks like applying makeup or shaving. It's also important to consider the height at which the fixture is installed to prevent glare and provide adequate illumination.


Light over bathroom vanity?

Usually, the mirror is 75% (3/4) the width of the vanity. Then, your light should be 3/4 the size of your mirror. Many people use a 24-inch light with a 36-inch mirror, which is a little smaller than the 75% rule, but still okay.

In a new construction home I would like to know how far up on the wall in a bathroom above the sink you put the light box?

Depends on what type mirror and light you are going to install. If you do not know at this time just pull the wire into the wall, and leave it hanging down about 1 foot above the center of the sink above the counter top inside the wall cavity. Once you install the counter top, pick the mirror, and light, you can cut a hole in the drywall and install a pop-in box and pull the wire out. A plastic pop-in box will easily hold most bathroom lights. If you know the size mirror and light combination. Mount the light box above the mirror so as the bottom of the light is about 1" above the top of the mirror. The light itself not the light mounting base. You do not want the light shining into the mirror.

A periscope uses two mirrors – a top mirror and a bottom mirror. The top mirror reflects light from above and directs it downward towards the bottom mirror. The bottom mirror then reflects the light out towards the observer's eye, allowing them to see objects that are not in their direct line of sight.
