LED mirrors explained: light, demister, and fitting
An LED mirror sounds like a gadget until you see one at dusk. The light sits behind the glass and washes the wall around it, so the mirror appears to float in a soft halo. It's not a spotlight and it's not a ring light; it's closer to built-in mood lighting that happens to be a mirror.
The light
Because the glow comes from behind the mirror, it flatters the room and the person in front of it. There's no glare bouncing off the glass and no hard shadows on your face, which is why backlit mirrors work so well above a vanity. The light runs three tones: 3000K warm for evenings, 4500K neutral for everyday, and 6500K cool when you want detail, like makeup or a morning shave. It's all on the touch control: tap for the light, tap again to change tone, hold to dim it right down.
The demister
LED models in our range include a demister: a gentle heating element behind the glass that stops condensation settling, so the mirror stays clear when the room steams up. No wiping, no waiting. It runs on its own touch control, so you can clear the glass without turning the light on.
One placement note: LED mirrors are happy on an ensuite or bathroom wall, as long as they sit outside the shower screen. Above a vanity is their natural home; the splash zone of the shower isn't.
The fitting
This part is simpler than most people expect. Every LED mirror we sell comes with the lead attached and an Australian plug fitted, so it plugs into a standard power point the same way a lamp does. Hang it, plug it in, done. No electrician, no wiring, no extra trade on the job.
Prefer the cord gone completely? Hardwiring into the wall is the optional route, and that one is a licensed electrician's job. If you go that way, keep the electrician's invoice, because hardwired warranty claims need it. Full warranty details are on the Returns & Warranty page.
The range
Almost every shape we make has an LED version: the Sienna arch, the Elena pill, the Jasmine round, the Vittoria arch, the Danielle D-shape, and the full length Felicia and Allira.
The Sienna LED 1800 earns one extra line: it's the only mirror in the range with removable standing legs. Bolt them on and it stands on the floor as a free-standing full length mirror, take them off and it hangs flat on the bracket.
