Vanity Fixture Basis of Design:

1. HOUSING, FINISH & REFLECTORS - - BRUSHED NICKEL HOUSING WITH SQUARE ACRYLIC DIFFUSER.

2. LAMPS - LED LAMP TO HAVE 3000K KELVIN COLOR TEMPERATURE OF LIGHT WITH A CRI OF 80 OR GREATER AND AN L70 OF 50,000 HOURS OR GREATER PRODUCING 1300 LUMENS.

3. DRIVER - LED DRIVER TO BE 277 VOLT. FIXTURE TO HAVE A DIGITALLY ADDRESSABLE DRIVER AND/OR LOW VOLTAGE DIGITAL ADDRESSABLE CONTROL DEVICE.

4. CERTIFICATION - UL LISTED FOR DAMP LOCATION SPACE.

5. WARRANTY - PROVIDE A MINIMUM 10-YEAR WARRANTY BY MANUFACTURER.
