OK for bathroom but not in shower stall area! This fixture will make your bathroom like Broadway. There are no bulbs. It is all LED lights smaller than your pinky nail. It is a board populated with about 50 tiny LED lights. It is amazing.

These lights are very bright and can easily replace 2 6 watt bulbs. For bathroom is in a wet location? If so these are not sealed for waterproof use. I have 2 of these in my basement and love them

These fixture are safe to use in a bathroom, I instaled one over my vanity. The tubular bulbs recommended are not strong enough, I suggest you use the narrow neon bulbs or even better the LED bulbs (more expensive, but they will last a lifetime)

I'm extrememly happy with the light. It is about 50% brighter than the flourescent fixture it replaced (approximately same size). I don't see a problem using in a bathroom, unless it is in a shower.

Interesting video. However he was dealng with multiple 35w bulbs (7 I think), two layers of sock and one of gel. These lights have only one bulb and with one sock, you should be ok. But to be safe, I'd check frequently and not leave the light on for long periods when not in use. Caveat: I have not tried these lights with a sock as I do jewelry photography and need as much bright light as possible.

You could. I don't think i'd want to because the light bulbs stick out and I'd be afraid of running into them either accidentally shattering the light bulb or getting burnt, or at least the old style bulbs that i have get really hot. The newer energy efficient ones probably won't be a problem. I guess it has to do with how your bathroom is set up. The light could be too close to the wall or too much out in the open for someone to bump.

Love the light... I would say if you put in 60 watt bulbs you would be fine (I have lower wattage bulbs in mine...as it is in a hallway).

Our electrician installed (3) 75 watt bulbs. We have two of the fixtures in our bathroom and it provides plenty of light.

Hello. I would recommend using two lower wattage bulbs for an optimum look if brightness is an issue. Please let me know if there is anything more I can do to help. -Beth

position doesn't matter, I have them in all positions at the house, for the kitchen they might not be bright enough you might need at least 15 Watt and depending on the size of the kitchen about 6 to get enough brightness. I have 6 in the guest bathroom (5Ft X10Ft) fixture sideways it's bright enough but the bathroom is small and then a 15 watt for the bathroom ceiling

60 watt. If you need more light but want to use this fixture, go with an LED or compact fluorescent bulb. You can get more light for less wattage.

I have put these bulbs along side 40 watt incandescent, and I'd say the light output was comparable...perhaps just a tad less. 50 watt seems to be common in vanity fixtures, so you would certainly say that the output was not enough if replacing all. As I said earlier, the color is more of an issue (to me) than the output. Noticeably 'cooler' than incandescent, and not warm enough (IMO) to be called 'warm white.'

rlionheart is correct, for safety reasons they ask that you not use stronger bulbs, but I do as well, since a 45 w does not provide much light. But be more cautious of the surroundings when setting up and always check your lamp socket for heat damage before use.

I got mine in antique brass... And love it No the lights aren't"adjustable" and it's all or none. I recommend getting 40 w equivalent led bulbs instead....puts out 120 watt equivalent for roughly 12watts. Bulbs should last a good long time Plenty of light without being too much

Hi there! we used regular 60 watt bulbs -- you can also begin to use the new LED bulbs if you take out a loan! But we just used regular bulbs in this fixture thus far. It was hung in a home I renovated for sale, which is under contract to close now. Good luck and it is a great looking fixture!

I am using mine in fixtures in the kitchen. I think they would work in any area you would use a normal 60 watt bulb.

It depends on the size and type of light bulb. I have three in my kitchen with 200 watt bulbs. However, I had a dimmer switch installed. Therefore I can have it very low light to 600 watts. Regular bulbs will get hot, so another suggestion is to go with a good quality LED bulb. It is hard to find them in higher wattage, but they do exist. They are expensive, but use negligible electricity and last many years. As soon as I can, I plan to replace mine with LED. I know this is a lot of info, but I tried to do my homework before deciding. Hope this is helpful.

it seems they dont make a higher wattage for 2 ft fixtures these come with 24 watt bulbs. if your looking for a higher wattage you would have to get a bigger fixture "4 ft" or more.

I installed two 90 watt bug flood lights in the fixture, in the stand by ore low light mood the light is very dim but its enough light to see. when it detect motion it brightens up. the 120 watt should not cause any problems, if you think its too bright you can always put in a lower wattage bulb my fixture use bulbs with standard size base, lot of choices for bulb size.

Yes, that's why I'd really recommend that you use LED bulbs for this fixture because it does not heat up. You can try checking out this bulb, it's what I've been using and I consider it one of the best bulbs I've purchased. Hope it helps!
