We’re getting our house ready to sell (we’re moving) so I am finally getting around to doing a bunch of projects that I’ve put off for 9 years. One of those projects is to replace a severely dated light fixture in our kids bathroom. In this quick project I made a new light fixture to put above the mirror using a reclaimed piece of wood flooring and some basic light fixtures from the big box home center. It’s easy to customize and anyone can do it!

Update your bathroom fixture?? Have you looked around at fixtures? They are all so similar that you might as well have left it there. The only difference is PRICE! The new owners would probably think it's a new fixture anyway. Would have saved you money and time. But, I do like your replacement. Good job!!!
I do too thanks to you my sons love it thanks too you (casper mattress)
how would one get rid of the uneven frosting/oil marks maybe? on the lexan?
wow… first video I watch on this channel – really great looking light!! perhaps not a project for beginners like myself 😀
Light looked nice but would not be up to code here.
bro id fix that air vent too or at least align it 🙂 cool video tho
Unless I missed it, you should have sealed the top. Could of had just had another lens and screwed it on. Dust will collect on those lights causing poorer output, bugs will die inside the fixture and be visible on the acrylic bottom. I understand why you didn't do it when you made the fixture because it would have been hard the way you went about it to mount the fixture if you had a top. There are ways to get around that though. Food for thought on your next one. Otherwise, looks awesome.
i’m hoping to build a couple light fixtures soon.
my idea is to also put in a single LED strip that will power on as a nightlight whenever the main light is off, i need to figure out how to wire that up.
Why no ledstrip?
