Questions We Hear Most
What is the idea behind the Banda 13?
Sean Lavin designed it so that it is a crisp-edged bar of light for the modern vanity. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Banda family, which comes in several sizes and versions.
Which Banda 13 finish suits my bathroom?
Our take: black gives a crisp, graphic outline; brass brings warmth to wood and earthy tones; bronze is rich and moody; white melts into a pale ceiling.
Is the Banda 13 flattering for makeup and shaving?
Yes: it gives about 348 lumens at 90 CRI in 3000K, so skin tones look true. Used in pairs at face height, sconces keep shadows off the face.
Which vanity suits the Banda 13?
Use a pair, one each side of the mirror, about 30–40″ apart.
Is the Banda 13 safe in a steamy bathroom?
Yes, it is damp rated, so steam is fine; just keep it out of the shower spray.
Will I ever change a bulb in the Banda 13?
No bulbs to change: the LED is built in and rated for 50,000 hours.
How is the Banda 13 installed?
It is hardwired to a wall junction box by an electrician. It can run horizontally or vertically.
How soon can the Banda 13 arrive?
All the versions we offer are in stock right now, and in-stock pieces usually leave within 2–3 business days.
