Bathroom Mirror Lights

Why do I need bathroom mirror lights or illuminated mirrors? You don’t, but it makes certain tasks much easier and pleasurable. Once you use a mirror light for shaving, applying make up or general everyday use, you wonder how you managed without one for so long.

Adding Mirrored Lighting

They are very easy to add to an existing bathroom. It’s not as easy as just choosing the mirror or cabinet that you like the look of, as there are many other factors to consider.  For instance, you can have a mirror that has lights incorporated within its structure, or you can opt for a separate option where the light would be located above the mirror.

A normal mirror is a piece of flat glass with a silvered back. It is this silvering that causes the reflection when you look in the mirror. Mirror lights for use in bathrooms have some of the silvering removed so that the light can shine through directly at your face. This avoids the shadows that can sometimes be caused when using ceiling mounted fittings alone.

The next consideration is the type of light the bathroom mirrors give off and whether to fit one with lights or not. Every mirror found in this category has lighting which is more than bright enough for you to perform any task such as shaving or applying make-up.

Our LED mirrors use the very latest LED technology, so no more flicker and hum associated with the older type of fluorescent ballasts. Coupled with low running costs, attractive designs, excellent light output and long life, these are an obvious choice. Modern energy saving LED lit bathroom mirrors are functional, modern and stylish.

A bathroom mirror with built-in light performs the same function as an over-mirror light, whilst illuminating your face to ensure that there are no shadows. Used with a ceiling or wall light, mirror lighting will complement your overall bathroom scheme. It also gives a lovely background light whilst you are having a relaxing bath.
