Kichler Benno 34in 4-Light Vanity Light | Industrial Black Steel & Opal Glass | Bathroom Vanity Light | 60W Incandescent, G9 Base, Damp | Model 55173BKCPZ
A 34-inch-wide 4-light bathroom vanity light from Kichler's Benno collection, finished in black steel with milky white opal glass orbs.
The Benno vanity light balances clean modern lines with subtle industrial detailing. Four opal glass orbs glow softly, mounted on a slender steel bar that can be installed facing up or down to suit your bathroom layout. The mixed finishes—black steel with champagne bronze and polished nickel accents on the chain and canopy—add depth without overwhelming the space.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 30-60 inch vanity, mounted 6-8 inches above the mirror for even task and ambient light
- Powder rooms where a single fixture can provide both style and sufficient illumination
- Damp-rated indoor spaces such as bathrooms with ventilation (steam and humidity won't damage the fixture)
- Industrial-modern, transitional, and contemporary interiors with black or mixed-metal accents
- Installations where the fixture can be oriented up or down to direct light where it's needed most
Not ideal for
- Dry-locations-only rooms such as bedrooms, living rooms, or dining rooms—this is a damp-rated fixture best suited to bathrooms
- Spaces where you need bright, focused task lighting—the fixture accepts four G9 bulbs (not included) and the opal glass diffuses light softly
- Bathrooms with less than 8-foot ceilings if the fixture is mounted upward, as the orbs project about 6.5 inches from the wall
How bright is it?
The fixture holds four G9 base bulbs (not included). With 60W incandescent bulbs (the maximum recommended), total output would be around 2800-3200 lumens—enough to light a medium to large bathroom as the primary overhead light. With lower-wattage or LED replacement bulbs you can dial brightness down for a softer ambient glow.
Light color and feel
The opal glass diffuses light evenly, minimizing glare and creating a warm, welcoming glow. The fixture's color temperature and CRI will depend on the bulbs you choose. Pair with 2700K-3000K LED bulbs for a flattering warm white that complements skin tones. The fixture itself does not include a dimmer, but using dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch will allow you to adjust brightness.
Sizing and fit
The fixture is 34 inches wide, 8.75 inches high, and extends 6.5 inches from the wall. The rectangular backplate is 5.25 inches wide, covering standard junction boxes. Ideal for bathroom vanities 30 to 60 inches wide. Install facing up to cast light on the ceiling, or facing down for direct light on the vanity mirror and countertop.
