Kichler Marette 13.5in 2-Light Vanity Light | Traditional Black Steel and Satin Etched Opal Glass | Bathroom Vanity | 13.5 x 7.75 x 6 in | Model 55001BK
A 13.5-inch, 2-light vanity light from Kichler's Marette collection, finished in Black with satin etched opal glass shades, designed for bathroom vanities in traditional, transitional, or modern settings.
The Marette vanity light combines classic twisted arms with a sleek Black finish and satin etched cased opal glass. The cased opal glass diffuses light softly, reducing glare while providing warm ambient illumination. This fixture is rated for damp locations, making it suitable for bathrooms and other humid areas.
Best for
- Bathroom vanities 30-48 inches wide, mounted above the mirror or on either side
- Powder rooms and hallways where a compact, two-light fixture is needed
- Traditional, transitional, and modern interiors that benefit from a clean black-and-white palette
Not ideal for
- Spaces requiring bright task lighting for detailed grooming—this fixture uses two 75W max bulbs (incandescent) and is not dimmable
- Outdoor or wet locations—rated for damp locations only
- Very small powder rooms under 4 ft wide where a single-light sconce may be more proportional
How bright is it?
With two 75W incandescent bulbs (not included), the fixture can produce up to approximately 2100 lumens total—equivalent to two standard 60W bulbs. This is suitable for ambient bathroom lighting but may need supplementing with task lighting for makeup or shaving.
Light color and feel
The satin etched opal glass creates a soft, diffused glow that minimizes harsh shadows. Using warm white bulbs (2700K-3000K recommended) produces a cozy, inviting light that flatters skin tones. The fixture is not dimmable, so light output is fixed at full brightness.
Sizing and fit
The fixture measures 13.5 inches wide, 7.75 inches high, and extends 6 inches from the wall. The backplate is 7.25 x 5 inches, and the center of the wall opening is 5.25 inches from the top. Ideal for vanities 30-48 inches wide when centered above the mirror, or as a pair flanking a mirror on a 60-inch vanity.
