There are many ways to bring your bathroom to life, including a new fast growing trend of LED edge lit mirrors.
Not only do these mirrors add style and personality to your space, but they are functional as well.
As the name suggests, an LED mirror is one that is equipped with LED lights. An edge lit mirror is one with lights installed around the perimeter on the backside of the mirror, typically behind a sandblasted area. This provides ambient backlighting, while making personal grooming and makeup application a breeze.
What are the advantages of LED lights?
You can use a variety of lighting types in your bathroom, but many homeowners prefer LED lights. Here are some of the top advantages when compared to other options, such as incandescent bulbs:
- LED lights use up to 80 percent less energy, thus saving you money on your monthly energy bills
- LED lights can help boost your energy level, which is something you may need in the early morning hours
- LED lights are designed to last thousands of hours
