NUVO Lighting 62-1321 Bend, LED Small Vanity, Brushed Nickel Finish with White Acrylic

The Bend LED vanity is rated for damp locations and is an indoor fixture, so it is fine over a sink or mirror in a bathroom where it may see steam and humidity. It is not a wet-location fixture, so keep it out of direct spray inside a shower enclosure and off any exterior wall.

Plan for a 13 inch run of wall with 4.5 inches of height and 3 inches of projection off the finished wall. That extension matters over a shallow vanity or next to a swinging medicine cabinet door, and the 13 inch width makes it a single-light-scale fixture suited to a narrow mirror or a half bath rather than a double vanity.

The LED is integrated into the Bend vanity, so there is no socket and no lamp to buy or change. It draws 13W on 120V and produces 910 lumens with an average rated life of 30,000 hours. When the LED module reaches end of life, the fixture is replaced rather than relamped, which is worth knowing if you are standardizing a building on a relampable fixture instead.

The Bend vanity is listed as ADA compliant, and its 3 inch projection keeps it inside the 4 inch limit for wall-mounted objects in a circulation path. It also carries a cETLus safety listing, which covers both US and Canadian installations, and it is RoHS compliant. For a Prop 65 state, note the fixture carries a lead warning.

Yes, the Bend LED vanity is dimmable. Because the LED driver is integrated, it needs an LED-rated (electronic low-voltage or LED/CFL) dimmer rather than an old incandescent slide dimmer, or you can expect flicker and buzz at the low end. The fixture runs on standard 120V line voltage, so no transformer is involved.

At 910 lumens the Bend is a task light for a single mirror position, not whole-room lighting. For a small or half bath it will carry the room; over a wider vanity or in a bath with no other ceiling fixture, pair it with a ceiling or recessed source. The 90 CRI output is the part that matters at a mirror, since high CRI renders skin tones and makeup accurately.

The Bend 62-1321 is not CCT selectable, so it ships at one fixed color temperature with no field switch. If you are mixing it with selectable fixtures elsewhere in a unit, set those to match rather than the other way around. It is offered in a brushed nickel finish with a white acrylic diffuser, which pairs with the brushed nickel faucet and cabinet hardware common in multi-family units.

It is a wall-mount fixture on a steel body weighing 2.02 lbs, so a standard wall-mounted electrical box handles the load with no blocking or extra support. Wiring is 120V line voltage. Mounting hardware is captured in the fixture's backplate; nothing beyond the box and a compatible dimmer or switch is needed to finish the install.

The Bend is a wall-mount fixture and the acrylic diffuser runs the 13 inch dimension, so it is intended to be installed horizontally above the mirror. Mounting it on end puts the integrated LED module in an orientation the fixture was not designed around and would leave the junction box off-center. For side-of-mirror lighting, use a dedicated vertical sconce.
