Kichler Benno 24in 3-Light Vanity Light | Industrial Polished Nickel & Opal Glass | Bathroom Vanity & Dressing Area Light | 150W Max, G9 | Model 55172PN
A 24-inch wide, 3-light bathroom vanity light from Kichler's Benno Collection, finished in polished nickel with milky white opal glass shades, designed for damp locations.
The Benno vanity light brings modern elegance to your bathroom with a clean, industrial-inspired silhouette. Its three orb-shaped opal glass shades diffuse light softly, while the polished nickel finish and subtle silver tones create a bright, airy feel. The light can be mounted facing up or down to suit your space and preference.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 30-48 inch vanity, mounted 6-8 inches above the mirror for even, shadow-free light
- Dressing areas and powder rooms where a soft, ambient glow is preferred
- Homes with modern, transitional, or industrial decor that calls for clean metallic accents
- Damp locations such as bathrooms with direct shower or tub proximity
Not ideal for
- Dry locations only - this fixture is damp rated and suitable for bathrooms, but not for wet areas like open showers or outdoors
- Spaces requiring dimmable incandescent bulbs - the fixture uses G9 pin blade sockets; check that G9 bulbs are available in your preferred dimmable type and wattage
- Very large double vanities over 60 inches wide where a longer fixture or two separate lights may provide better coverage
How bright is it?
With three G9 sockets accepting up to 150W total (50W per socket) using standard incandescent or LED-compatible G9 bulbs, brightness depends on the bulbs you choose. As an accent or vanity light, it provides ample task and ambient light for grooming. Bulb output is not specified by the manufacturer; choose bulbs with 400-600 lumens each for a combined 1200-1800 lumens typical for a bathroom vanity.
Light color and feel
The opal glass shades produce a soft, diffused light that minimizes harsh shadows - ideal for applying makeup or shaving. Light color is determined by your G9 bulb choice: 2700K-3000K bulbs create a warm, flattering glow that complements the polished nickel finish, while 3500K-4000K bulbs offer a crisper, cooler light. CRI is not specified; we recommend 90+ CRI G9 LED bulbs for the best color rendering.
Sizing and fit
The fixture measures 24.5 inches wide, 8.75 inches high, and extends 6.5 inches from the wall. The round backplate is 5.25 inches in diameter. Ideal for vanities 30-48 inches wide, mounted with the center 6-8 inches above the mirror. The 6-inch wire length may require junction box placement near the mounting point.
