Standard height for a bathroom vessel sink?

Answer 1

There is no standard height for a bathroom vanity light. In new construction a loose wire is normally left in the wall space behind the vanity. After the vanity is installed a height is determined by the mirror height and the light fixture style. The a hole is cut into the wall the loose wire is found and placed into an old work box.

Answer

If you have an extremely tall person in the household--over 6'2" for instance, you may want to customize the height of the mirror and lighting so that they can use the mirror without interference.

Answer 2

It depends on the position of the bath or shower basin. Generally nowadays pendant light fittings are considered unsuitable for a bathroom. <><><> By asking this question you are probably not quite ready to take on this particular task. The correct answer to your question will depend on the exact location of the fixed light fitting .

Really, don't do this one yourself. Electricity is far too dangerous to handle if you have not been trained how to do this work. If you use the wrong size and type of cable for the job and/or put just one wire in the wrong place, you risk being killed by electrocution or you could even start a house fire.

How to do this job depends entirely on the Wiring Codes or Regulations for the locality (Town/County/State) and on the exact location of the electrical equipment you wish to be installed. If situated anywhere that is subject to water splashes, water spray, dampness or humidity - such as in any room supplied with running water pipes, like a kitchen, laundry room, bathroom, shower room, etc., or in a workshop, or garage (or anywhere outside a building in the open air, such as along an outside wall - or a pool-side area) in many places nowadays it is actually illegal to attempt to do this kind of work unless you are already a licensed electrician.

If you get any other answer here, you might attempt to do something you shouldn't be doing, and that may cost someone a shock, a home fire, or even their life.

As always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.

Before you do any work yourself,

on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,

always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.
