Mirrors in general have long been subject to various myths and legends – to this day, many of us who break a mirror are put in mind of the superstition of it causing seven years’ bad luck.
The emergence in recent years of illuminated LED mirrors, though, has brought a new dimension of mythmaking when it comes to this central element of many homeowners’ bathrooms.
So, let’s take you through some of the things that people mistakenly believe about LED mirrors for the bathroom, and where the reality lies.
Investing in an LED bathroom mirror won’t bring meaningful benefit to your life
Sure, it’s not a literal life-or-death matter whether or not you have an LED illuminated mirror in your bathroom. However, these mirrors can provide an abundance of advantages for most people’s day-to-day living, even beyond the illumination or reflection itself.
Bathroom LED mirrors are available in a wealth of sophisticated styles, for example. This enables them to contribute significantly to the aesthetics in this all-important part of your abode.
These illuminated bathroom mirrors can also greatly boost your bathroom’s functionality, through the incorporation of features like shaver sockets and heated demister pads.
Plus, today’s advanced LED mirrors for the bathroom are great at simply helping you to see yourself better. All our own mirrors, for instance, now boast CCT LED strip, giving the user the ability to switch between warm and cool lighting on a single strip (the former ideal for flattering selfies, while the latter gives truer colour when you apply makeup).
You need electricity to use an LED bathroom mirror
An LED illuminated mirror doesn’t suddenly become unusable in the absence of electricity – you can, of course, continue to use the actual mirror without any issue. Indeed, some of our customers opt against their mirror being illuminated, because they’re satisfied that their lighting needs have already been catered for elsewhere in their bathroom.
You will, though, need electricity to power your illuminated mirror’s LED lights, and for the activation of certain other features you may have chosen to have incorporated into it, such as Bluetooth or the demister pad.
So, we would naturally urge you to have your LED mirror wired in, so that you can tap into all its features and benefits.
The LEDs in these mirrors are detrimental to the environment
When this argument is made, many people point to the specific materials used for the production of LED lights.
There are various other aspects of LED illumination, though, that make it gentler on the environment than traditional forms of lighting.
These include the lower amount of electricity LED lighting requires – which helps to drive down its carbon footprint and greenhouse gas emissions – and the tendency for LED bulbs to last for many years, thereby minimising waste.
Mirror backlighting is unnecessary if you have other sources of bathroom lighting
Many people who are accustomed to the benefits of backlit LED mirrors in their bathroom would disagree with this. They know that a backlit mirror is far from a merely decorative item; it provides even illumination, thereby helping to avoid harsh shadows forming in the reflection someone sees of themselves in the mirror.
When it comes, then, to getting the best results from your shaving or makeup application, you are sure to appreciate your decision to invest in a backlit LED bathroom mirror.
