Morganhorses asked:


I don’t know how wide and how many lights on the lighting fixture hanging over a mirror above a 48″ cabient.? What about mirror? Rectangle I think but should it be less than or larger than the lights and how much smaller than 48″? Do I do 36″ Mirror with a 30″ inch Light or….? Thanks for taking time to read this, any suggestions?

    That is a matter of personal taste for one. Yes, you should try and proporsion the mirror to the cabinet, but it doesn’t have to be as big as the cabinet. It needs to be large enough to be able to do the tasks that you do in a bathroom. What you didn’t mention was is there going to be one or two vanities? That has more of an impact as to the size of the mirror and light fixture. The light fixture should be large enough to cover your whole face without throwing any shadows. You should not have to keep moving from side to side to get light where you need it. In a perfect situation you should have one light above the mirror,( or in it, Check out the lit mirrors they have) and one on each side of the mirror for full coverage.
    Hope this helps you.
