Kichler Erma 4-Light 32.5in Vanity Light | Industrial Black Steel & Clear Satin Etched Glass | Bathroom & Powder Room Vanity Light | Model 55127BK
A 4-light bath vanity light in black steel and glass, damp-rated for bathrooms and powder rooms.
The Kichler Erma collection pairs an industrial black steel frame with clear satin etched glass shades for a clean, utilitarian look. The four-light design spreads 32.5 inches across the wall, providing balanced illumination for grooming and makeup application. Rated for damp locations, it is a safe and practical choice for the space above a bathroom vanity.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 36-60 in vanity, mounted directly over the mirror at 75-80 in above the floor
- Powder rooms or guest baths where a 4-light bar provides ample task light without glare
- Spaces with existing incandescent dimmer circuits - compatible with standard medium-base A19 bulbs
- Damp-rated locations - safe for bathrooms with shower humidity, but not direct water spray
Not ideal for
- Single-bulb sconce needs - this bar fixture spans 32.5 in and requires four bulbs
- Dry-location-only spaces - rated for damp, but no reason not to use it in a hallway or dressing room
- LED-only builds - uses standard medium-base bulbs, so you can swap in LED A19s if desired
How bright is it?
240 watts maximum with four 60W incandescent A19 bulbs (not included). Actual brightness depends on the bulbs you choose - with four 60W-equivalent LED bulbs, expect roughly 3000-3600 lumens total, suitable for a primary bathroom vanity or a medium powder room. For a dimmer accent, use lower-wattage or dimmable bulbs.
Light color and feel
Light color is determined by your choice of bulbs - the fixture itself runs on 120V AC. With warm-white incandescent or 2700-3000K LED bulbs, the glass shades diffuse a soft, warm glow that flatters skin tones and works well with most bath finishes. If you prefer a cooler, daylight tone for task lighting, install 3500-4000K LED bulbs. The fixture is dimmable when used with compatible dimmable bulbs and a standard incandescent dimmer.
Sizing and fit
The fixture measures 32.5 inches wide and 8.5 inches high, with a 6-inch extension from the wall. The backplate is 5 inches in diameter, covering a standard 4-inch octagonal junction box. The height from the center of the wall opening is 4.25 inches. Recommend mounting 75-80 inches above the floor, centered over a 36-60 inch vanity for best proportions.
