What are LED mirrors?
LED bathroom mirrors are mirrors that have built-in LED lights. They are designed to provide light to perform your grooming tasks while also giving you an edge in style and design.
Usually, LED lights come with a lifespan of up to 50,000 hours. Many mirrors with LED are designed to be energy-efficient, which means they consume less power while providing bright, even lighting. And the LED mirrors feature adjustable brightness and colour temperature settings, using which you can set the desired mood while using the mirror.
Besides backing these mirrors with LED, style, design and functionality, these mirrors come with extra features, including:
Anti-fog uses heating pads to keep the mirror clear after steamy showers, so you no longer have to wipe it down with your hand.
The magnification feature is best for those detailed tasks, such as makeup or shaving, where you need to get a close and personal view from your mirror.
Some mirrors come with touch panels that make it easy to turn the lights on and off, adjust brightness and change the colour temperature for high-tech convenience.
Types of Bathroom LED Mirrors
Here’s a closer look at some different types of LED mirrors you might consider for your bathroom:
Framed LED mirror
These mirrors come with a stylish frame around the edges. Here, the LEDs either integrate into the frame or sit directly behind it.
Just ensure that you pick a frame that goes well with the bathroom decor, giving it a more finished and sophisticated look.
Wall-mounted LED mirror
This is one of the most common types and is highly preferred in modern homes. These mirrors are fixed directly onto the wall, saving space and providing a sleek and contemporary look.
The cool thing about these mirrors is that they are perfect for any size bathroom and often come with features such as adjustable lighting or built-in defoggers.
Floor-standing LED mirror
These are usually more oversized mirrors that stand on the floor, often supported by a sturdy base. They are great for full-length viewing and can be moved around if needed. If you have bigger bathrooms, this one fits in well.
Curved LED mirror
With a little curve, these mirrors bring a unique vibe to your bathroom. The curved design makes the mirror a standout piece and adds some visual interest while also giving you great lighting for your daily routine.
Floating LED mirror
As the name implies, these mirrors look like they are floating off the wall because they are mounted with hidden brackets.
What's amazing about this type is that the LED lights shine from behind and create a soft halo effect. This helps your bathroom remain a functional piece of art.

Things to remember before you invest in the right-sized LED mirror for your bathroom
Assess your space
It's crucial to evaluate your bathroom size and choose the right-sized mirror. Why? If the mirror is too large in a small bathroom, it can overwhelm the space. Meanwhile, if the mirror is small, it can look too tiny.
So, ensure the LED bathroom mirror is proportional to your space.
Consider the vanity size
Choose an LED bathroom mirror that's a few inches narrower than the vanity for a cohesive look.
Height considerations
The height of the mirror matters just as much as the width. Because you must ensure that you hang it where everyone can use it without any hassle.
So, it's best that you aim to have the centre of the mirror at eye level. Don’t forget to leave enough space between the mirror and the lights (if any) above it.
Single vs. double vanity
For single vanities, one big mirror covering most of the width works great.
If your bathroom has double vanities, you have two options: either go with two smaller mirrors, one above each sink, or one big mirror that spans the whole vanity.
Installation constraints
When opting for a bathroom LED mirror, check the electrical wiring for LED components, wall studs for mounting and required spacing around fixtures.
These factors might impact the size and placement of your mirror.
Choose the shape, style and type of bathroom LED mirror of your choice.
Choose a shape that complements your bathroom's style and layout. Since the mirror's style can influence your bathroom's aesthetic, don't overlook that. So, while choosing the LED bathroom mirror, ensure that it has the right shape, style, and type so that the mirror not only looks great but also serves its purpose effectively.
What is your budget?
Lighted mirrors or LED mirrors are an investment. But fret not, because there are different models to suit every budget. So, it's best that you fix a budget.
