The 10 Best Vanity Lights

With its warm bronze finish and intriguing cage design, the Kira Home Liberty (about $97) will enhance any industrial or vintage-style bathroom. Outfitted with four lamps spread across 36 inches, it can easily illuminate a wide area without casting shadows, making grooming a breeze.

You can position the Chende Hollywood Strip (appx. $20) around the mirror of your choice, whether it's in your boudoir or lavatory, so you're able to transform any space into a vintage dressing room. Each LED adheres via adhesive, but be aware that you may need to reinforce them.

Not only does the contemporary-looking Hamilton Hills Flush Mount (about $130) pass a rigorous eight-point inspection before it ships to your door, but it also emits a crisp, 3000K light that renders most skin tones accurately, so you can apply your makeup without worry.

Featuring a handsome, coffee-colored finish and a metal wire construction, the Design House Ajax 3 (about $63) is well suited to rustic, farmhouse decors, and since it's compatible with any 60-watt, medium-base bulb, you can use LED or incandescent Edison lights to complete the look.

Because the Linea di Liara Effimero's (appx. $39) clear glass tube houses myriad bulb types, you can enjoy generous illumination in the color temperature of your choice, and it's affordably-priced so that you can buy one to place on either side of your mirror if you desire.

The Perpetua Brushed Nickel (appx. $65) is a modern sconce that features frosted glass ideal for dampening harsh glare and distributing uniform illumination. It's also sold as a single, so you can choose the exact amount that you need, making it a solid choice for his-and-her sinks.

The Welton Polished (about $80) boasts three gleaming lamps with wide canopies, so getting inside to wipe them down or switch out a dead bulb is never an issue. It focuses vibrant task lighting evenly and is fully dimmable, so you can quickly change the ambiance for a relaxing bath.

You can install the HowPlumb 4-Globe (about $90) facing up or down, which gives you the choice of either focusing bright beams directly onto your work surface or dispersing a radiant glow throughout the entire area, and it has a curved construction that adds instant visual interest.

With clean white bases and evenly-spaced sockets, these Westinghouse Interior (appx. $41) add a streamlined touch to any area. They're slender enough to fit into tight spaces — like between your medicine cabinet and the ceiling — and they're backed by a 5-year warranty, just in case.

Give that old water closet a glamorous facelift with the Solfart LED Wall (around $60), a glitzy, 25-inch long fixture adorned with faceted crystals around its perimeter; a mirror-polished, stainless steel base; and a frosted acrylic housing that's centered with a chic circular detail.
