Kichler Benno 14.75in 2-Light Vanity | Industrial Black & Opal Glass | Bathroom Accent & Over-Vanity Light | 2-Bulb G9, 120V, Damp Rated | Model 55171BKCPZ
A 14.75-inch, two-light bathroom vanity bar finished in black with milky opal glass shades, designed for above-vanity or accent lighting in bathrooms.
The Benno collection combines clean modern lines with subtle industrial detailing. The steel frame is finished in black, paired with orb-shaped opal glass shades that soften and diffuse light. This vanity can be mounted with the shades facing up or down, offering flexibility in installation and light direction.
Best for
- Bathroom vanities 30-36 inches wide, mounted horizontally as primary task and ambient lighting
- Powder rooms and half-baths where a compact, two-light bar complements a small mirror
- Damp-rated bathrooms — safe for use above a tub or in steamy shower areas (not direct spray)
- Industrial or modern bathrooms paired with matte black fixtures and brushed metal accents
Not ideal for
- Large vanities over 48 inches — the 14.75-inch width may look underscaled; consider a longer three-light bar
- Outdoor or wet-exposure locations — damp-rated, but not rated for direct rain or splash zones
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs you install. Each socket accepts a G9 pin-blade bulb up to 5 watts (LED equivalent) — for a fixture total of up to ~800-1000 lumens with good LED bulbs, roughly comparable to a 60-75W incandescent equivalent. Suitable for bathroom task and ambient light.
Light color and feel
Light color is determined by the bulbs you choose. The opal glass shade produces a soft, diffused glow that minimizes glare. For a warm, relaxing bathroom atmosphere, select 2700K-3000K LED bulbs; for brighter task light, 3500K-4000K works well. The fixture is dimmable when paired with compatible dimmable LED bulbs and a standard incandescent dimmer.
Sizing and fit
The fixture is 14.75 inches wide, 8.75 inches high, and extends 6.5 inches from the wall. The canopy is 5.25 inches in diameter. It works best above vanities 30-36 inches wide and on walls with standard stud spacing. Vertical mounting is also possible if desired.
