I just installed new vanity lights in my bathroom and I have a question?

Question

I installed a 4 light vanity lights in my bathroom. I decided to install it with the globs/bulbs facing up instead of down, and now I'm having second thoughts. The bulbs are about 3 1/2 - 4 inches from the ceiling, and I was concerned about them catching the house on fire. Would they get hot enough to catch the ceiling on fire in my bathroom? I put 60 watt bulbs in them.

Answer 1

I would say you are fine with that installation. Check with the manufacturer for installation instructions.

I have 60 Watt lights that are just a few inches from wallpaper and has been OK.

Answer 2

If you're really concerned about this you shouldn't use standard light bulbs. Use the new compact fluorescent bulbs. Unlike standard light bulbs, they don't get too hot because they only use about 20% of the electricity standard bulbs use to get the same amount of light. Obviously this saves you money on your energy bills and is good for the environment too. And most importantly you won't burn your house down!

Answer 3

They probably won't catch the house on fire, but you may end up with stains on the ceiling after a period of time both from the heat and light.
