Eurofase BR-3DAK-2N Dakota 3-Light Bathbar, Satin Nickel/White Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I am renovating my bathroom and I needed to get a new vanity light, so when I came across this one I was a little worried because there were no reviews. But I loved it and so of course I had to purchase it. I must say I was VERY happy with it. It is a little on the small side, but my bathroom is small so it looks great! I got the 3 light with the satin nickel finish. I think it was worth the price. I have not seen anything like this light at a local store. Please be sure to check out the pictures I posted for this light. It will give you a better idea of what it looks like. Hope that helps!

This fixture is attractive, but from a functional standpoint is poorly designed, and the packaging for shipment is poor. The first one arrived with one of the glass covers broken. Amazon (with its excellent customer service) promptly sent a replacement. Only after the light was installed did I notice that it throws its light upward and outward, but not downward like you would expect from a bathroom vanity light. The bottom of the fixture has semicircular metal pieces with very small holes (pinholes almost) that sit under the bulbs and block the light from projecting downward. Because of the way the glass shades fit in the fixture, it is not reversible (they would fall out if installed in reverse). The result is that a light over the mirror does a very poor job of illuminating your face (which seems to be the whole point of having a light over the mirror). I would not recommend this fixture.

We bought the 4 light one and it is perfect for our bathroom.

We think this is a good match for a small to medium size bathroom and it gives up a very warm light.

It took us months to decide what to buy and we are really happy with this find.

Honest reviews on Eurofase BR-3DAK-2N Dakota 3-Light Bathbar, Satin Nickel/White

After reading other reviews that weren't very good, I decided to go ahead and take a chance. I was apprehensive about that chance when my order 1st arrived.there was broken glass from one of the covers and missing light bulbs. I went ahead and ordered a replacement, determined to make these lights work in my vanity. It was easy to see why there were so many complaints about the amount of light put out. The fixture simply needed to be mounted upside down. This did require securing the glass covers, which slide in and are not secured in a reverse mounting. That was easy enough to do. I added a small bead of clear silicone along the edges of the metal where the glass slides in. The bulbs do tend to get hot, which leaves a concern over the bulb falling out over time due to the plastic base and mogul. This will have to be seen over time.

Reversing the mount was ideal for the light to be directed downward towards the mirror and not up towards the ceiling. It also allows some light to be directed upward thought the metal grate leaving an interesting pattern on the ceiling and wall above the fixture. This is much better than having the pattern directed on the mirror and subsequently on my face while fixing hair or shaving, when light is at a premium.

Unless you want to try modifying this fixture as I did, I would not recommend placing it over a vanity. It might make for nice ambient lighting in a bedroom though.

Easy install good design but does not project from wall far enough to provide adequate light for shaving and such.
