Frequently Asked Questions
1. Q: How can I get optimal lighting in my bathroom?
A: Avoid shadows on your face with fixtures that use incandescent bulbs behind diffusers. These radiate the most flattering light and color. Position sconces on both sides of the mirror at least 28" apart and 60" above the floor. To fully surround your face with light, install a fixture that is at least 24" wide over the mirror as well. Add a ceiling fixture to balance the light throughout the room.

A: Sconces should be installed 60" from the floor. To illuminate an entire hallway, they should be placed eight to ten feet apart.
