Kichler Shae 2-Light 15in Wide Bath Vanity Light | Modern Coastal Black & Cased Opal Glass | Bathroom & Powder Room Vanity | Dimmable, 120V | Model 55201BK
A two-light bath vanity fixture with soft modern and coastal styling, finished in black with cased opal glass for bathrooms and powder rooms.
The Shae collection blends soft modern lines with coastal influences, creating a look that works as easily in a transitional bath as it does in a beach house. The ribbed arm bar, tapered glass cylinders, and refined stacking details give this vanity light a thoughtful, crafted feel. It can be installed with the glass facing up or down, letting you tailor the look to your space and preference.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 30-48 in wide vanity, mounted 6 in above the mirror at 65-68 in from the floor
- Powder rooms and guest baths where a compact 15 in wide fixture fits a smaller wall space
- Soft modern, coastal, and transitional interiors pairing black metal with warm wood or white tile
- Damp-rated locations such as bathrooms with shower exposure (steam, not direct water spray)
- Installation with glass up for a brighter, more traditional vaniy look or glass down for a softer, more contemporary glow
Not ideal for
- Single-bulb replacement above a mirror smaller than 20 in wide – the 15 in fixture may visually overlap
- Low-ceiling spaces under 7 ft where the fixture protrudes 5.5 in from the wall
- Direct outdoor exposure – damp rated only, not wet rated for rain or direct water spray
- Spaces requiring a single bright task light – this side-mount fixture provides ambient and accent light, not focused task lighting
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs you install (not included). This fixture accepts two medium-base bulbs up to the wattage of your choice – typically between 60W equivalent (800 lumens per bulb) for a standard warm glow and 100W equivalent (1600 lumens per bulb) for a brighter bath light. Expect 1600-3200 total lumens depending on bulb choice, enough for primary bathroom lighting in standard-size baths.
Light color and feel
Light color is determined by your bulb selection. Choose a 2700K-3000K LED bulb for warm white light that flatters skin tones and complements black metal. The cased opal glass diffuses the light to reduce glare and soften shadows, creating an even wash of illumination across the vanity area.
Sizing and fit
The fixture is 15 inches wide, 9 inches high, and extends 5.5 inches from the wall. The backplate is 5 inches in diameter. With a 6-inch wire lead, it accommodates standard junction boxes. The damp rating means it's safe for bathroom installation with humidity and steam. The 3.1 lb weight requires mounting to a wall stud or using appropriate toggle bolts for drywall.
