You will find that more people are making the switch to LEDs. Consumers are seeking out LED bulbs for any and all smart lighting solutions, including for lamps, overhead lights, computer screens, headlights, bathroom fixtures, outside structures, and much more. And there’s a reason for it, too. LED lights are more efficient, longer-lasting, healthier, and much better for the environment. But there are benefits for you too!
Some of the biggest advantages of LED lights over incandescent or fluorescent bulbs include:
- LED lights use more than 80% less energy than any other kind of light, making it extremely impactful for the environment while also saving you multiple dollars on your monthly energy bills
- Keep in mind that LED lights release the same chemicals as the sun, helping you to feel more energized and vibrant as a great start to your day
- LED lights last 50,000 hours, making them extremely long-lasting, which adds even more to their affordability and efficiency
- The quality of light provided by LED bulbs is often higher than incandescent light, which is often too hot and too orange in color
Plus, when added to a stylish mirror, you are equipped with a powerful combination that can truly amplify your bathroom decor. An LED lit up mirror is a unique part of the bathroom remodeling market and recommended for those who want something creative yet functional.

Requirements for Installing an LED Mirror
Before purchasing an LED mirror, there are a couple of things you should take into consideration. For example, if you are investing in a bathroom remodeling project, think about where you want everything to be placed. Some other things to consider include:
- Where is the best location for your mirror?
Most people consider the bathroom to be the best location for your bathroom mirror. Since LED light bulbs work similar to the sun, releasing serotonin which energizes your brain and body, it might be a good idea to put this mirror in a place where you are looking to freshen up in the morning as you start your day. - What are your electrical needs?
Fortunately, many LED mirrors do not require an electrical charge. The beauty of LED bulbs is that they do not require as much energy or electricity as more traditional incandescent or even fluorescent bulbs. Most of the time, they can be turned on and off with just a touch as well. - Where do you need light the most? If you need something to backlight your mirror while you use it, then this would be the perfect location for an LED mirror. Corners, under the cabinets, and overhead are also great lighting options
Once you have determined exactly where you want the mirror to go, you can start looking at the different types of mirror LED lights available. Here are some of the most popular choices on the market today.

Wall Mirrors
A wall mirror with LED lights is a popular and easy addition to your bathroom. Incorporating a mirror LED light into your bathroom can open you up to a variety of opportunities that will allow you to make the most of your space. A LED-lighted wall mirror can be mounted or propped up, and it typically includes a backlit area so that you can get the most efficient use of lighting.
Wall mirrors are a good choice when considering different mirror sizes for your large or limited space. The biggest advantage to this kind of mirror is that you will be saving tons of money on your monthly electric bills. By switching from incandescent to LED lighting, you are investing in an energy-saving solution that not only makes your lights last longer than traditional bulbs but also reach further while spending less energy.
Infinity Mirrors
Have you ever heard of an infinity pool? Well, an infinity mirror takes that same concept to add a touch of modernity and creativity to your elegant bathroom. If you are currently remodeling, and looking for a new and vibrant aesthetic, this might be the right kind of LED mirror for you.
Infinity mirrors come in a huge variety of shapes and sizes, allowing you to truly think out of the box with this one. Usually, this mirror is lit by LEDs on the back, which gives a glowing effect. It makes the mirror seem like it itself is the source of light, which can give a much more reflective view when you are trying to concentrate on something in the mirror.
Backlit LED Mirror
As mentioned earlier, there are many different ways that you can incorporate LED lighting into your mirror to give you the type of lighting functionality that you are looking for. But a special mention needs to be given to backlighting, as this is often the most popular and practical choice for a variety of different needs.
Backlit mirrors are illuminated freely, without the need for attached cords or wires. Not only does a backlit mirror allow you to more easily see, but it also brings to light some of the smaller details on your face that you may not have noticed under normal, more traditional light sources.
Most backlit mirrors come with a way to swipe your hand or use a single touch to turn them on and off. It adds even more functionality to your bathroom, allowing you to get ready with both of your hands without having to worry about turning the light on and off manually. Not only is this a great idea for residential bathrooms, but for company washrooms as well.
Heated Defogger or Demister Mirrors
A heated demister mirror (defogger) is a specialty mirror that is built with a thin heat pad on the back of it. This heating pad is used to eliminate moisture and steam from building up on it. You’re no stranger to the effect hot water has on mirrors, making it nearly impossible to see into the glass after a hot shower. However, demister mirrors help you get rid of that wait time, allowing you to use your mirror right away.
Now, you can find both a demister mirror and an LED mirror combined into one. Not only does it offer heat to get rid of any leftover moisture, but it also comes with a reasonable amount of LED options so you can customize your backlighting solutions. It’s good to consider a mirror that comes with a variety of different features and options to help you best enhance your bathroom experience in a way that works best for you.

Before you nail down a purchase, consider what exactly you are looking for. Having a mirror with elegant lighting is a great way to help you see better and enhance the reflective surface of the glass so you can truly look at every angle. But beyond that, you should be considering what kind of lighting you want.
Overhead lighting is great for being able to see a wide scope of the room. Side lighting helps you see in one area or the other. Backlighting illuminates the entirety of your face, which is reflected in the glass of the mirror for a vibrant look at your skin and hair. Choosing the kind of lighting you prefer all depends on how you need to see, and what you think would best enhance the lighting situation in the bathroom.
Plus, there are many types of mirrors to consider. Infinity? Standing? Wall-mounted? You know your bathroom and your needs, and that can help you decide on a modern LED mirror that works for you.
