How LED Vanity Mirrors Are Made And Where Can You Use Them?

For a good reason, illuminated LED mirrors have become one of the most popular bathroom additions in recent years. LED vanity mirrors generate light from within the mirror rather than relying on an overhead light to create a clear reflection of your face. LED vanity mirrors are fashionable and attractive, and they make things easier. But also their glitz and their capacity to change the tone of your interiors make them so appealing.

How Are LED Vanity Mirrors Made?

When you first see a LED lighted mirror, they appear to be a little mystical. However, the reality isn't as complicated as it seems. LED vanity mirrors at their core combine two simple technologies: mirrored surfaces and light-emitting diodes(LED).

Manufacturers make two different types of LED lit mirrors. 

The first method, which is likely the most straightforward, entails attaching LED light strips to angled mirror frames before covering them with a diffuser. And when the mirror is turned on, the LEDs start blasting out light at an angle towards the mirrored surface, similar to how they do in a public store changing rooms.

The second method is similar, but it includes installing LED lights and diffusers beneath the outer glass panel of the mirror. A polished metal surface and a protective glass covering are essential components of all mirrors. Modern LED light mirrors incorporate lights and diffusers between the metal and glass layers, giving the impression that light emanates directly from the mirror. The result is cleaner than frame lighting and has a more minimalist appearance.

Finally, to diffuse the light, many illuminated mirrors feature etched or frosted borders. The most common type of frosted border is solid. However, decorative patterns can also be employed. 

Where Can Lighted Mirrors Be Used?

LED Vanity Mirrors, like ordinary mirrors, are incredibly versatile, allowing you to utilize them in various settings throughout your home.

On your dressing table

Putting on makeup in the morning can be a chore at times. But, it doesn't have to be that way with vanity lit mirrors. They work similarly to ordinary vanity mirrors, except that you can see your face considerably better when applying makeup. And the light is coming from the front, not the top; thus, there are no distracting shadows.

In your bathroom

Of course, the bathroom mirror spot is the most logical location for an LED vanity mirror. Nothing beats a mirror for checking your pout or removing the final traces of makeup. It's also great for shaving because it gives you a clear view of your mustache and beard, allowing precise trimming.

In your entrance hall

In addition, LED lit mirrors are becoming increasingly popular in hallways. Full-length mirrors allow you to assess your appearance before heading out for the day. Remember that the extra light will enable you to immediately notice and correct wardrobe malfunctions without having to wait for a coworker to inform you once you get to the office.

Above the bed

Before going to sleep, most of us are accustomed to gazing at plainly painted ceilings. But have you considered replacing your standard lamp with an illuminated mirror? 

It's a unique concept, but it's also functional and incredibly gorgeous, resulting in a unique environment in your bedroom. 

Above the fireplace

Depending on the type of heat you have, you might want to consider hanging vanity mirrors over your fireplace. LED mirrors go exceptionally well with electric flames that have their own light effects. They can also be used as modern foils for traditional fireplaces, but pick the proper pattern and design.
