To replace the bathroom vanity light, the old vanity light will need to be removed. This includes the removal of the mounting bracket and finding the wires that are necessary to attach to the new mounting bracket.
The next step is the installation of the new mounting bracket into the wall.
Then the wiring of the vanity light will take place. Attaching the correct wires is important for the light fixture to work properly.
Once these steps are completed, attaching the vanity light fixture is necessary to see if the mounting bracket and wiring is correct.
The bulbs will be added to the light fixture. Testing for the light will happen by turning on the light switch.
While these steps may appear burdensome, these are only steps that a professional electrician should take.
To determine the right size of the bathroom vanity light you should first measure the bathroom vanity width. This will give you the total width that the vanity light will span. Vanity lights should be at least 75% of the width of the vanity to provide the best illumination.
You should also calculate the height of the vanity light. To do this measure the height of the bathroom ceiling and the height of the vanity. It is recommended to mount the vanity light about 75 to 80 inches above the floor. This is so the light can be at eye level and provide even illumination across the face.
