Depends on what type mirror and light you are going to install. If you do not know at this time just pull the wire into the wall, and leave it hanging down about 1 foot above the center of the sink above the counter top inside the wall cavity. Once you install the counter top, pick the mirror, and light, you can cut a hole in the drywall and install a pop-in box and pull the wire out. A plastic pop-in box will easily hold most bathroom lights. If you know the size mirror and light combination. Mount the light box above the mirror so as the bottom of the light is about 1" above the top of the mirror. The light itself not the light mounting base. You do not want the light shining into the mirror.

If you replaced a bedroom light with a dimmer and now the adjacent bathroom appears to have no electricity what might be the problem?

Well it is only a guess but I would say your bathroom and bedroom were sharing the same cct and you have not kept the cct going by placing the dimmer in line. There would be a continuation of wiring from the dimmer to the bathroom that you have perhaps not reconnected.

The Benefits of Diversifying Bathroom Lighting?

The bathroom is one room of the house where the atmosphere needs to be versatile. In the mornings, the basic purpose of the room is to prepare for work, school, or for the activities of the day. You need proper lighting in order to correctly apply make-up, shave, or check out your appearance before leaving home. A bathroom light placed over a sink and vanity can provide the light that you need. However, frequently using bright lights in the bathroom can increase your power bill. Adding alternate lighting can save you some money as well as allow you more control over the atmosphere in the room. The time you spend in the bathroom in the morning is often rushed and hectic. The bright lights you are using actually help you wake up and become more alert before stepping out to face the day. In the evening, you need a more tranquil atmosphere in the bathroom so that you can relax while enjoying a stress relieving bath. Sconce lighting is an excellent lighting option for creating a spa-like atmosphere in the bathroom. A small pendant light or mini chandelier is also a possible lighting option for a bathroom. This type of light can decoratively illuminate a corner of the bathroom. It would be an attractive addition to a dressing area in a bathroom. Turning on smaller lights such as these will help reduce your power bill and enhance the beauty of the bathroom. Having a small night light or sconce light in the bathroom can provide all the light you need to navigate around the bathroom at night. There are some very decorative night lights available that would be an attractive as well as functional addition to your bathroom decor. There are numerous places to shop for a bathroom light. You can easily find a variety of lights at online shopping sites. Department stores and home improvement stores always have a good selection of lights for the bathroom. Prices for a bathroom light vary greatly. Finding lights that will fit your budget and decorating style should be relatively easy.
