Finding the right full length mirror with light is not just about style. It is to see your overall appearance every time you look in the mirror. And improve the convenience of your daily life. Next, please check out the steps to choose a LED full length mirror.

What Is an Illuminated Full Length Mirror?

LED full length mirrors combine a regular mirror with built-in LED lighting. They provide even, shadow-free light.

These aren’t your grandmother’s mirrors. Modern mirrors allow you to see how you look in different lighting conditions more clearly and accurately. They make it easier to choose your outfit and apply makeup.

Have you ever tried to take a selfie in a dimly lit room? It simply does not work. Traditional mirrors are easy to create shadows and don’t show true colors.

I have installed these mirrors in my dark bathroom. They really enhance the way I look in the mirror. They are not only practical but also give a luxurious feel.

Step1: Mirror Size and Placement

With so many options, it’s easy to be dazzled. Let’s divide them by the space where the mirror is placed.

In my experience. If space is limited, bedroom mirrors can be slightly smaller (about 120-140 cm high). If it’s a dressing area or walk-in closet, choose a larger mirror (about 150-175 cm) as much as possible, which can provide the best full-body view.

Narrower mirrors (about 40cm~45cm) are suitable for small spaces. Such as: behind a door or in a hallway. Wider mirrors (50cm~60cm) can provide a wider view. If you share a mirror with others, a wider mirror is more convenient.

So before buying, please measure the wall or floor area you are placing it to ensure the right size.

Step2: Installation Style

Wall-mounted vs. floor-standing

Wall-mounted mirrors are hung directly on the wall and do not take up floor space. They are very suitable for small spaces. but they must be installed firmly, otherwise they will fall down.

Floor-standing mirrors are placed on the ground, without drilling holes in the wall. It can be moved at will.

Step3: Choose Adjustable Lighting and Brightness

In addition to the color of light, you can also adjust the brightness for each color. When the light is sufficient during the day, you can lower the brightness. On cloudy days, you can turn up the brightness.

Step4: LED Layout

Step5: Framed vs Frameless Mirrors

A frameless mirror is a good option if you prefer modern, minimalist designs.

Choose a mirror that matches your interior design. It will blend into the space without looking out of place. It is more than just a mirror; it is also an elegant decorative piece.

Step6: Power Options

There are two types of power connections for mirrors: plug-in and hardwired.

Plug-in mirrors are easy to install and can be used immediately by simply connecting to a standard outlet.

Hardwired mirrors need to be connected to the home power system, which requires you to have experience with home wiring. or you may need to hire a professional electrician.

Step7: Other Smart Features

Anti-fog function

If you are in the bathroom, you must choose the anti-fog function. This way you will not use a foggy mirror after a rain.

Bluetooth speaker

It is convenient for you to listen to music or blogs while looking in the mirror.

Time/temperature display

When you look in the mirror, you can always know the temperature and time of the day. Adjust your outfit according to the temperature of the day.

Touch sensor

Instead of the traditional switch mode, the touch sensor is integrated with the mirror. Just a light touch can be used. They are easy to clean.

Of course, there are many other functions waiting for you to explore. The cost will definitely increase. Choose according to your budget.

Step8: Safety and Quality Certifications

Mirrors are made of glass, so it is essential to use explosion-proof glass. This way, even if the mirror breaks accidentally, it will not cause any harm.

An IP waterproof rating is necessary if the mirror will be used in a bathroom or other humid area. At least IP44 rating.

Does the product have safety certification? For example: CE, RoHS or UL certificates. Make sure it meets electrical safety standards.

It is best to buy from a brand or supplier that offers a warranty period. In this way, if there are some problems with the product caused by non-human factors, you can also ask the seller to resolve them.

Step9: Make a list of requirements based on your identity

Before buying a illuminated mirror, make a list of must-have and non-essential features based on your specific needs.

If you are buying for yourself, it is simple and only needs to consider your own preferences. If you are buying for a hotel, commercial venue or e-commerce company, you need to consider more factors.

Individual buyers

Choose the style you like based on lighting, size and style. Find well-known brands or highly rated online stores to buy. Or go to offline retail stores to buy.

Wholesalers or bulk buyers
