is this 60 w halogen good for bathroom over the mirror

I'll say yes, with this caveat: Like any halogen bulb these things get hot and they really should not be used in an enclosed fixture with no airflow or very bad airflow. I put these in a chandelier in my parent's house that really did not have good airflow, just a small opening at the top; and in that situation the lifetime of the bulbs is shortened.

I would certainly think so. My use is ON each of two light fixtures mounted on either side of a large mirror wall(Obviously through holes in the mirror) It is perfect!

1 If you want or need an incandescent lamp, which can be dimmed (which I do in every bathroom) halogen is the way to go. You get more lumens ( amt. of light) than with ordinary incandescents and the lamp life is longer.

I have two flanking each side of a powder room vanity mirror (four bulbs total) and they throw plenty of light. One of these lights above the mirror might not be enough light though. Really depends on the fixture (two or more bulbs would be better) and the mounting height above the mirror. Hope this helps!

Yes - I used two of these for vanity lighting and they provide enough light.

They are halogen and are included. Mine is mounted over the bathroom mirror and gives great light, however the light is fairly localized. I have found that I need another light for overall lighting of the bath. This fixture adds so much style and goes with everything I did in the remodel. I have had nothing but positive comments from friends when seeing it.

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)

yes the Iland in my kitchen is slightly larger and 2 lights are ample. We use 60W equivalent LED bulbs.

Its a nice lighting. If you need bathroom type light it won't be bright enough but for a kitchen it good lighting

Not really. Although good for a little extra closet light, or a counter space, this system will not produce enough light for a bathroom or vanity.

I wouldn't recommend it for a bathroom or shower. It only stays on briefly. And probably wouldn't give enough light for that big of area. I have two in my closet. One on each side and it gives just enough light to see.

It is fine for ours. It is the same as the builder put in. Our shower is the size of yours. We do have lights in the bathroom that shine through the glass doors that help. I don't know how your bathroom lighting is.

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).

The light isn't bright at all. A 60watt light bulb is 80% brighter. It comes with eye goggles. Probably don't need them as the light doesn't seem to hurt my eyes.

Yes. We have two sets in our master bathroom over two mirrors, and the bulbs are facing down. They look great.

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.

Yes. The old style incandescent lamps rated at 65 watts meant 65 watts of POWER.The 65 watt equivalent LED Lamps give the same approximate amount of LIGHT as a 65 watt incandescent lamp but only use around 10.5 watts of power. A fixture rated at 60 watts was limited by the amount of HEAT it could withstand safely, which in your case is the heat created by a 60 watt bulb. The LED lamp only produces the heat of a 10.5 watt bulb so your fixture will be safe to use this bulb.

Hi, Nicholas! My wife has a mirror similar to yours, but I don't know if hers is a Conair or not. But our problem was the same as yours.... we have a label in ours stating 20 watt maximum bulb... we used the 25 watt bulb anyway and have had no problems. My wife's careful to avoid leaving the light on longer than she needs to, and we've noticed no problems at all with overheating. In fact, she's happier to have the little bit of extra light. I hope this helps... good luck...

I looked everywhere and I do not see anything that shows the wattage. I do know that if you wanted to use this as your main mirror you will need to buy the wall adapter that you can use with it. Light is much brighter with the wall adapter. With batteries as the batteries wear out the light gets dimmer. I use it for travel and have the wall adapter. I really like it and have not had problems with it.

Yes - it should work fine in a bathroom. The 3 - 60 watt bulbs provide a surprisingly good amt of light. There is a frosted glass piece on the bottom that covers the bulbs. Just know that the shade appears more off white than bright white as shown in picture. We used 2 in a large rec room & are pleased.

There are no wattage markings on the mirror or on the power supply. IMO the light ring provides very even, shadowless and optimally bright light - there's plenty of light but it's not so bright that it hurts your eyes. The mirror is also much larger than I expected (bigger than a salad plate), so it's easy to see your entire face.
