I have a small bathroom ..approx..6' x 9' and ceiling is about 8 to
8 1/2' roughly. Can someone recommend a track fixture with 2 lights,
controlled by replacing the single switch via dimmer? I know they are
available in home depot and the ilk,,,what i want to know would this
make good lighting for a bathroom. I got a 100watt bulb there now, and
yet for mirror viewing its not ideal...ie makeup, or shaving and etc.


Well, I think the light should be in front of you when you are facing
the mirror, so it shines on your face and you can see it.

Is the bathroom on the top floor and is the attic accessible and
unfinished?

If so, it's pretty easy to put a fixture above the sink. Really. In
addition to what's on the ceilign. Mine had a knock-out for a switch
and I put in a second switch so I could turn the fan off even when the
lights were on. I have to go out now, but I'll look later, so post if
you want details.
