Questions We Hear Most
What is the idea behind the Bloccare 13?
Sean Lavin designed it so that it is a block of solid crystal that glows from its edges, set right into the wall. It belongs to Visual Comfort's Bloccare family, which comes in several sizes and versions.
Which Bloccare 13 finish suits my bathroom?
Our take: black gives a crisp, graphic outline; nickel feels bright and luminous.
Is the Bloccare 13 flattering for makeup and shaving?
Yes: it gives about 240 lumens at 90 CRI in 2700K, so skin tones look true. Used in pairs at face height, sconces keep shadows off the face.
Which vanity suits the Bloccare 13?
Use a pair, one each side of the mirror, about 30–40″ apart.
Is the Bloccare 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 Bloccare 13?
No bulbs to change: the LED is built in and rated for 50,000 hours.
How is the Bloccare 13 installed?
It is hardwired to a wall junction box by an electrician. It is a mud-in design, set into the wall during drywall finishing.
