A pair of elongated sconces provides evenly diffused light at the vanity mirror.

In this children's bath, the vanity lights are installed at standard height; the wall-hung mirror can be raised as the kids grow. Set on a separate switch, rope lighting hidden along the vanity's bottom edge functions as a night-light.
