Bathroom Light Bar – Broadway Glamour in Your Home

Add a bathroom lighting bar to the edges of your vanity and bring a little bit of the glamour of Broadway into your home. Actors have lined the tops and sides of their vanity mirrors with rows of lights for almost one hundred years – ever since the discovery of electricity chased the shadows out of our lives.

We have become so used to the light framed mirror as a symbol of acting that we have almost forgotten the reason why actors surround themselves with so many lights. The lights surrounding the mirror are not just decorative - they remove the shadows from the reflection of the actor’s face to allow for easier application of character makeup.

Although at home you are not likely to be applying makeup to make yourself look forty years older as the typical actor might do, the same principle of light without shadow can help you apply your own makeup or secure a close shave.

With proper vanity lighting you will quickly notice what actors have known for decades – everything is easier when you have enough light. A bathroom light bar across the top of the vanity will provide bright, direct light for such tasks as plucking eyebrows, trimming a beard or applying mascara.

Light bars come in many varieties, from the basic bar of evenly spaced unprotected light bulbs to decorative bars with shaded pedant lights. Light bars add instant glamour to any bathroom or vanity mirror. Base materials range from shiny chrome or brass to wood to ‘antiqued’ metals of all hues.

For the light bars the hold a series of pedant lights you can find shades in glass, alabaster and metal as well as many more choices. No matter what your bathroom décor you will find a light bar that is perfect both in looks and in usefulness.

Few lights in your home will be as useful as a bathroom light bar – you will use it daily as you undertake your grooming routines. Light bars add the glamour of Broadway while delivering the practicality of Peoria. The fact is, some things just make sense - light bars over the vanity are one of those things.

It does not matter whether you are applying makeup to create a character in a play or a film, or if you are simply smoothing on tinted moisturizer before a day shopping – the ability to see your own face clearly without harsh shadows will be helpful.
