Question Hi Jim, what height would I install lights over a double sink vanity in a bathroom where the ceiling is 10 feet high. The windows are at 8 feet in this bathroom in case that matters. thanks for your time.
Answer Use 1 single mirror running the entire vanity width and reaching up to at least 7.5' high off the floor. Place the fixtures so that the bottom of each glass shade is at least 6.5' off the floor. This arrangement better distributes the light, helps eliminate shadows and generally makes your bathroom a much brighter place to prepare yourself for the day (or for the night).
I hope these ideas have been helpful and that your bathroom is a happy well lit place for you and your family.
