Kichler Shae 32in Wide 4-Light Vanity Light | Modern Coastal Brushed Nickel & Cased Opal Glass | Bathroom Vanity Light | Dimmable | Model 55203NI
A 32-inch-wide, 4-light bathroom vanity light with a soft modern-meets-coastal look in brushed nickel with cased opal glass shades.
The Shae collection blends soft modern and coastal influences into a fixture that works across decades of design styles. The ribbed arm bar, tapered glass, and refined stacking details create a light that feels fresh but never trend-bound. The shades can be mounted glass up or glass down to adjust the look to your space.
Best for
- Bathroom vanities 48–60 inches wide, centered above the mirror for even task lighting across the counter
- Primary or guest bathrooms with contemporary or coastal-modern decor
- Damp-rated indoor spaces (bathrooms with steamy showers, as long as the fixture is not directly sprayed)
- Grooming areas and dressing rooms where shadow-free light on the face matters
Not ideal for
- Outdoor or uncovered patio areas (rated for damp locations only, not wet locations)
- Small powder rooms with a 24-inch or narrower vanity (the 32-inch width will overhang)
- Low-ceilinged rooms where the fixture's 9-inch height and 5.5-inch extension feel bulky
How bright is it?
Lumen output depends on the bulbs you choose. With four medium-base (E26) sockets, you can install bulbs totaling anywhere from 1800 to 3200 lumens for typical bathroom brightness. As a rough guide, 4 x 60W-equivalent LED bulbs (about 800 lumens each) produce 3200 lumens — enough for a generously lit primary bathroom. The fixture is dimmable when paired with compatible dimmable bulbs and a standard incandescent/LED dimmer.
Light color and feel
Light color is determined by the bulbs you install. The cased opal glass shades diffuse light softly, reducing glare and creating a gentle, even wash across the vanity. For a traditional warm bathroom feel, choose 2700K–3000K bulbs. For a crisper, more daylight-balanced task light, 3500K–4000K bulbs work well. Dimmable bulbs let you shift from bright task mode to a softer ambient glow.
Sizing and fit
Width 32 inches, height 9 inches, extends 5.5 inches from the wall. The backplate is 5 inches in diameter. Height from center of wall opening is 6.5 inches. Weighs 5.6 lbs. Works well on vanities 48 inches and wider; for a centered installation above a 60-inch vanity, the fixture will sit with about 14 inches of clearance on each side.
