A 17-inch, 2-light bath vanity light in polished nickel with mercury glass shades, designed for bathroom vanities and damp locations.
The Athens collection combines industrial and transitional styling with a sleek polished nickel finish and mercury glass shades. The cast brass and steel construction ensures durability, while the globe-shaped shades diffuse light beautifully. This fixture is a versatile choice for bathrooms, powder rooms, and other damp-rated spaces.
Best for
- Bathroom vanities 30-36 inches wide, mounted as a primary light source above the mirror
- Powder rooms and half-baths where a compact, stylish fixture is needed
- Damp locations such as bathrooms with high humidity
- Transitional, industrial, or modern-contemporary interiors
- Pairing with vintage ST64 bulbs for an Edison-inspired look
Not ideal for
- Large bathrooms over 8 ft wide where a longer fixture or multiple lights are needed
- Spaces with very low ceilings under 7 ft due to the 8.5-inch extension
- Outdoor or wet locations (damp-rated only)
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs you choose. With two medium-base sockets, you can achieve up to 1600 lumens (using 800-lumen bulbs each) - equivalent to two 60W incandescent bulbs. This is ideal for task lighting over a vanity but may need supplementing for larger bathrooms.
Light color and feel
The mercury glass shades create a soft, diffused glow with a slightly vintage, iridescent effect. For a warm ambiance, use 2700K-3000K LED bulbs; for a cooler, daylight feel, choose 4000K-5000K bulbs. The fixture is dimmable when used with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch.
Sizing and fit
The fixture measures 17 inches wide, 12.25 inches high, and extends 8.5 inches from the wall. It is suitable for vanities 30-36 inches wide. The backplate is 4.5 inches in diameter, and the mounting center to top is 2.5 inches. Weight is 3 lbs.
