Finish

A 14-inch wide, two-light bathroom vanity fixture from Kichler's Ali collection, finished in black with satin etched cased opal glass shades.

The Ali vanity light balances an updated traditional silhouette with clean, rectangular lines and a black steel frame. Satin etched cased opal glass shades soften and diffuse the light, reducing glare while providing a warm, even glow. Each shade can be installed facing up or down, giving you flexibility in how the light spreads across the room. This fixture is rated for damp locations, making it well suited for bathrooms with moderate humidity.

Best for

  • Bathrooms and powder rooms mounted over a 24-30 inch vanity mirror or above a single sink
  • Hallways or entryways where a soft, welcoming wash of light is desired
  • Updated traditional, transitional, or farmhouse-style interiors that pair black finishes with warm wood or neutral tones
  • Homes where incandescent or dimmable LED bulbs are preferred, offering full control over brightness and ambiance

Not ideal for

  • Spaces under 7 ft ceilings — the fixture projects 6.25 inches from the wall and may feel intrusive in tight corridors
  • Primary task lighting over a makeup or grooming mirror — the diffusion through opal glass reduces intensity for close-up precision tasks
  • Outdoor covered patios or areas with direct water spray — damp rating covers humidity and splashes, not direct rain

How bright is it?

With two 75W max A19 bulbs (sold separately), the total potential output is up to approximately 2200-2400 lumens if using LED equivalents — enough to serve as primary illumination for a small to medium bathroom. The satin etched opal shades diffuse the light, so the perceived brightness is soft and even rather than harsh. For a dimmed, moody effect, pair with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch.

Light color and feel

Because bulbs are not included, you control the color temperature. For a warm, relaxing bathroom atmosphere choose 2700K-3000K bulbs. For a crisper, more invigorating light — ideal for a shared bathroom — choose 3500K-4000K. The opal glass shades will slightly warm the color temperature, so test one bulb before buying multiples.

Sizing and fit

The fixture measures 14 inches wide by 11.5 inches high, with an 8 inch height from the center of the wall opening. It extends 6.25 inches from the wall. The backplate is 5.25 inches in diameter. This size works well over a 24-30 inch vanity mirror or centered over a single sink. Allow at least 6 inches of clearance above the rim of a high mirror.
