Kichler Farum 34in Wide Bathroom Vanity Light | Modern Chrome & Clear Glass | Bathroom Over Vanity & Grooming Area | 4 Bulbs 60W Max E26 | Model 55156CHCLR
A 34-inch wide 4-light bathroom vanity light with a modern chrome frame and clear cone-shaped glass shades, designed for damp-rated bathrooms.
Inspired by the clean lines of military jacket tailoring, the Farum collection brings a refined architectural presence to the bath. The chrome steel frame features subtle stepped detailing, while the clear glass cones provide ambient, wrap-around illumination. This fixture complements both modern and transitional bathroom styles without overwhelming the space.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 36-48 inch single or double vanity, mounted centered above the mirror
- Grooming areas where you want even, shadow-free task lighting for makeup and shaving
- Primary and guest baths with damp-rated location requirements, such as above a vessel sink or near a shower opening
- Spaces with 8-9 ft ceilings, where the 9.5 inch projection provides a low-profile silhouette
Not ideal for
- Outdoor or wet-exposure areas such as inside a shower stall or uncovered patio — this fixture is rated for damp locations only, not wet
- Bedrooms or living rooms where a downlight or decorative chandelier is more appropriate
- Spaces requiring bulb-included convenience — bulbs (4x G25, E26 base, 60W max each) are sold separately
How bright is it?
This vanity light accepts four 60-watt max E26 bulbs (not included). With four standard 60W incandescent bulbs installed, the fixture can produce up to approximately 3200-3600 total lumens — equivalent to a bright, full-room overhead light. For softer ambient glow, use lower-wattage or dimmable LED bulbs. Actual brightness depends on the bulbs you choose.
Light color and feel
The clear glass shades diffuse and soften the light from bare bulbs, reducing harsh shadows while still allowing the bulb shape to be visible. Since bulbs are not included, you can choose the color temperature (warm 2700K for a relaxing bath, or 3000K-3500K for accurate task lighting). The fixture is fully dimmable when used with compatible dimmable bulbs and a standard dimmer switch, making it easy to transition from bright task lighting to a soft evening glow.
Sizing and fit
Overall width is 34 inches with a 9.5-inch projection from the wall, making this a medium-to-large vanity light suitable for double-basin vanities 48 inches or wider. The backplate is 5.75 inches in diameter. Mount the fixture centered over the mirror, with the center of the wall opening at 5.25 inches from the mounting surface. Weight is 8 lbs — install into a wall stud or use appropriate toggle bolts for drywall.
