Euri Lighting Vanity Fixture Series

Yes, vanity lights can overhang the mirror. Vanity lights that overhang the mirror provide even distributed light across the entire bathroom surface. Overhanging the vanity light is also a very popular choice in modern bathrooms.

Before choosing to overhang the light, it is important to consider the mirror size and shape as well as the vanity and bathroom size. Once you have the sizes figured out, consider which light type you will use and whether you will use flush-mounted or extended lights.

Keep these considerations in mind when deciding whether, or not, to have your vanity light overhang the mirror.

For most standard ceilings that are about 8 to 9 feet, vanity lights should be about 75 to 80 inches above the floor. This is measuring from the bottom of the vanity to the floor.
