SKU EW55203NI

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.
