How high should a vanity light be?

The placement of your LED vanity lights can greatly impact the overall look and functionality of your bathroom. A clear view of your bathroom can help make your experience safe, easy and convenient. It’s important to consider the best vanity lighting positioning depending on bathroom style:

• Standard Height: For optimal lighting, install your bath vanity light approximately 75 to 80 inches from the floor, positioned above the mirror.
• Adjust for Mirror Height: If your bathroom mirror is set higher than the recommended vanity light placement, ensure that the light fixture is installed at least 3 inches above the mirror.
• Child’s Bathroom: Maintain the standard light height for a child’s bathroom but opt for a wall-mounted mirror with adjustable height. This allows you to raise the mirror as the child grows older, ensuring continued effective lighting.

Note: These recommendations are common standards, but the placement of your vanity lights should accommodate your personal needs. Simply adjust as needed.
