A 3-light vanity light from Kichler's Erma collection, finished in black with clear glass shades, designed for bathroom and bedroom vanities.

The Erma vanity light brings a clean, transitional look to your bath or bedroom with its black steel frame and classic glass shades. The three-light design provides ample illumination for grooming and daily routines, while the damp-location rating means it's fully at home above a bathroom vanity.

Best for

• Bathroom vanities 36-48 in wide, mounted 6-8 in above the mirror
• Bedroom vanities or dressing areas where even, shadow-free light is needed
• Primary and guest bathrooms with standard 8-9 ft ceilings
• Damp locations like bathrooms with moderate moisture exposure
• Transitional, traditional, and modern farmhouse interiors

Not ideal for

• Dry-location-only areas like powder rooms with no ventilation (though rated for damp, it's overkill for a small dry powder room)
• Spaces where you need a dimmable integrated LED solution
• Ceilings under 7.5 ft due to the 8.5 in height

How bright is it?

Uses three 60W incandescent A19 bulbs (not included) for a maximum of 180 watts. With standard incandescent bulbs, that's roughly 2400-2700 lumens total - equivalent to four 60W bulbs in a table lamp. Bright enough for a primary bathroom vanity, easily illuminating a 5-6 ft counter. Swap to LED bulbs (recommended) for the same brightness at much lower wattage.

Light color and feel

Bulb-dependent. With warm white (2700-3000K) incandescent or LED bulbs, the light will be soft and flattering to skin tones, ideal for bathroom grooming. Open glass shades let the bulb show, so consider clear or frosted bulbs depending on whether you want visible filaments or a diffused look.

Sizing and fit

Measures 23 in wide, 8.5 in high, and extends 6 in from the wall. The backplate is 5 in diameter. Center of wall opening height is 4.25 in, making it compatible with standard 4 in junction boxes. Best on vanities 36-48 in wide for proper proportion.
