My husband & I are remodeling a pocket bathroom on the first floor of
the house. It has the original light fixtures (two glass globes which
hang on either side of the mirror from a chain) and the exhaust fan,
which is no longer working. The light fixture is attached to the
ceiling about 4" from the wall above the vanity. We have removed the
hooks from the ceiling that hold the chains on either side of the
mirror and covered them with wall patches. We are trying to determine
our next move: 1) run wires from the original junction box to the
exhaust fan and install a dual function decorative light/fan OR 2) run
wires from the original junction box down the wall to either side of
the mirror and put in vanity lighting. Does anyone have any suggestions
or know of a code that would be relating to these wiring changes for
the state of WI? What should we be taking into consideration if we try
to install vanity lighting on either side of the mirror....HELP! We're
stuck! THANKS!!!
