A 26-inch 3-light bath vanity light in antique copper with clear glass shades, designed for damp-rated bathrooms and powder rooms.
The Preston Bulb collection combines industrial styling with heavy cast components for a sturdy, contemporary look. This fixture features an antique copper finish and clear Preston Bulb glass shades, offering a bare-bulb aesthetic that suits modern, industrial, and restoration-vintage décors. With 11 finish options and over 100 shade choices, the Ballston (Preston Bulb) collection adapts to any home.
Best for
- Bathrooms with a 24-36 in vanity, mounted horizontally above the mirror for even task lighting
- Powder rooms where a single vanity needs focused illumination
- Damp-rated locations such as bathrooms with high humidity (UL/ETL listed for damp locations)
- Industrial or modern-contempo interiors that favor exposed bulb designs
- Spaces with 8 ft or higher ceilings, mounted at 66-70 in above the floor
Not ideal for
- Wet locations like shower interiors or uncovered outdoor areas (damp-rated only)
- Small powder rooms under 4 ft wide where a 26-inch fixture may overwhelm the space
- Spaces requiring a single central light source (this is a 3-light bar, best for task/ambient layering)
How bright is it?
Brightness depends on the bulbs you choose. With three medium-base (E26) sockets, you can install up to 60W incandescent equivalent bulbs per socket (180W total). Using 800-lumen LED bulbs per socket yields about 2400 lumens total - enough for a primary bathroom light in a standard 5x8 ft room. For dimmer ambient light, use 400-lumen bulbs per socket (1200 lumens total).
Light color and feel
Light color is determined by your bulb choice. For a warm, incandescent-like glow (2700-3000K), choose LED bulbs labeled 'soft white' or 'warm white.' The clear glass shades do not filter color, so the bulb's Kelvin temperature is fully visible. The fixture is dimmable when used with dimmable bulbs and a compatible dimmer switch.
Sizing and fit
The fixture measures 26.25 inches wide, 11.75 inches high, and extends 7.25 inches from the wall. The backplate is 6 inches wide by 4.5 inches high. Mounting center to top is 2.25 inches. It fits best over a 24-36 inch vanity, centered horizontally. For a standard 8 ft ceiling, mount 66-70 inches above the floor.
