Kichler Shae 31in Wide 4-Light Vanity Light | Modern Chrome & Cased Opal Glass | Bathroom Vanity Lighting | 4 Bulbs Dimmable Damp Rated | Model 55203CH
A four-light bathroom vanity light with a sleek chrome finish and cased opal glass shades, designed for damp-rated bathrooms and soft modern interiors.
The Shae vanity light blends soft modern and coastal influences into a fixture that works in a wide range of bathroom styles. Its ribbed arm bar, tapered glass shades, and refined stacking details give it a polished, versatile look. The shades can be installed glass up or down to match your preference.
Best for
- Bathroom vanities 48 to 60 inches wide, mounted horizontally above the mirror for broad ambient and task lighting
- Powder rooms and guest baths where a modern-chrome finish complements white or neutral tile
- Damp-rated bathrooms with good ventilation — shower-adjacent zones that see steam but not direct water spray
- Primary bathrooms styled in soft modern, transitional, or coastal decor
Not ideal for
- Small half-baths under 4 ft wide — the 31-inch width may overwhelm a compact wall
- Ceiling-only installation — this is a wall-mount vanity light, not a flush mount or semi-flush
- Sloped ceilings — no sloped-ceiling adapter is included
- Wet or outdoor areas — rated for damp locations only, not direct water exposure
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs you choose. With four medium-base (E26) sockets, you can use up to 60W incandescent or LED equivalent per bulb for a total of up to 240W. For a bathroom vanity, 2400-3600 total lumens from LED bulbs provides ample bright task light for grooming and makeup application.
Light color and feel
You control the light color by selecting your own bulbs. The cased opal glass shades diffuse light softly, reducing glare and creating an even wash of illumination across the vanity surface. The finish is compatible with warm, neutral, or daylight bulbs.
Sizing and fit
The fixture measures 31 inches wide by 9 inches tall and extends 5.5 inches from the wall. The backplate is 5 inches in diameter. Mount it with the center of the wall opening 6.5 inches above the electrical box. Ideal for vanity widths of 48-60 inches, mounted 6-8 inches above the mirror.
