Kichler Erma 2-Light Bath Vanity Light | Industrial Black Steel & Glass | Bathroom & Powder Room Vanity Light | 2x60W Incandescent, 120V | Model 55125BK
A 2-light bath vanity light from Kichler's Erma Collection, finished in black steel with clear glass shades for bathrooms and powder rooms rated for damp locations.
The Erma collection by Kichler brings clean, industrial-style lighting to the bathroom. Finished in black steel with clear glass shades, this two-light vanity light provides functional illumination with a straightforward, no-frills aesthetic. Its compact 13.5-inch width makes it a good fit for single or double vanities where space is at a premium.
Best for
- Bathroom vanities 24-36 inches wide, mounted centered above a mirror for task lighting on each side of the face
- Powder rooms or half baths where a compact, damp-rated fixture is needed
- Vintage or industrial-inspired bathrooms with black fixtures and hardware
- Damp-rated covered outdoor areas such as a covered porch or patio used as a vanity space (e.g., outdoor shower area)
Not ideal for
- Small powder rooms under 4x5 ft where a single-light fixture would provide sufficient light without visual bulk
- Spaces with ceilings under 7 ft where the 8.5-inch height might feel low if mounted below an 80-inch mirror
- Uncovered outdoor locations - damp rating only, not wet-rated
How bright is it?
This fixture takes two 60-watt A19 incandescent bulbs (sold separately). Using standard 60W bulbs, you get roughly 1,600 total lumens - comparable to a single 100W bulb in a table lamp. That's bright enough for vanity tasks like shaving or makeup application in a typical bathroom. If you install LED equivalent bulbs at 9-12W each, brightness can be similar with less heat.
Light color and feel
Light color depends entirely on the bulbs you choose. With standard incandescent bulbs, expect warm 2700K light. With LED bulbs, you can select warm or daylight. The clear glass shades do not diffuse the beam significantly, so bulbs with visible filaments or a frosted finish will affect the look. Not dimmable unless you install dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch.
Sizing and fit
The fixture is 13.5 inches wide and 8.5 inches high, with an extension of 6 inches from the wall. The round backplate is 5 inches in diameter. Height from center of wall opening is 4.25 inches, which affects where you mount it relative to the electrical box. Weighs 2.9 lbs. Fits best over a 24-36 inch vanity mirror.
