Question:

how to replace a bathroom vanity light?

I have this bathroom vanity light that was given to me by dads friend who owns a lighting company. It is a really nice lighting fixture that attaches to my bathroom mirror. There is one problem I have with it one of bulbs broke the glass piece that covers it. I think what happened was the bulb got so hot that it broke it. I glued but back but the heat from the bulb burned the glue and now the whole lighting fixture looks like crap and I want to replace it, however I am not sure what type of lighting fixture will attach to the mirror. Is there something special I have to look for. Any help Thanks

Answer:

Are you saying the old fixture replaced into no longer linked to the copper floor cord on your electric feed, or that there is not any copper floor cord interior the feed? If the former, connect the copper cord to the hot fixture. If the fixture would not have a floor cord, screw the floor to a metallic area of the fixture. If the later, you definitely could improve the feed cord to contain a floor.
This is kind of confusing.. Why does the fixture need to attach to the mirror? If it is a strip light kind of fixture, it does not attach to the mirror, but it attaches to the wall above the mirror. Some are mounted to the wall on each side of the mirror. I have never heard of one attaching to the mirror, but I am sure they exist somewhere. Go broswing for a new one at Home Depot, and the instructions in the box should tell you how to mount it
I would take the other fixture off and go around to the flea markets, or old furniture dealers and see if I could find something similar that would fit in the existing fixture.
