can we see the light in your bathroom? all you have is a product picture

(btw, that isn't a very good choice for a bathroom ceiling light)

You'll have to contact the lighting store to see what their rules are on returns. (how long has it been?) normally you can just box everything up the way it came and return. just depends on the store.

as for the recessed light, If he's running the line from a junction, he may not be able to run it to the can light. although, it shouldn't be a bid deal if he's using a retro fit recessed light kit.

again, without more details, hard to say.

lets see some photos of the actual space. maybe there is a better light that you can use.

and why wasn't size taken into account? 16" wide is a little large. most ceiling fixtures are in the 13" range. would that be a better size for yours?

Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the bathroom with the lights installed. I should have taken one the last time we were there. We are staying 5 1/2 hours away while the house is being remediated from flooding. The contractor suggested something that hangs down from the ceiling. This ceiling

fixture was from the same series as the vanity lights. 13 inches would be a better size, and I think a flush ceiling light would be better. Do you have a better suggestion for a more appropriate ceiling light? I would love suggestions. I'm attaching a picture of the vanity and mirror, and some pictures of the unfinished bathroom if that helps.

when you get a chance, have one of the workers text you photo of the bathroom that shows everything.

A neighbor took these pictures for me. Wish you could see the vanity too.

Ok, so I'm not really seeing an issue w/the size. it looks fine in the pic.

what I wouldn't like is the dimness issue. the fixture has a shade that diffuses light. Plus, you'll have to get up there and clean all the gunk that falls on the inside of the shade.

To me that light looks more like an entryway light.

Up to you though.
