Help me find a backlit mirror

10 years ago

I'm trying to find a backlit mirror. I see nice photos of them like this but I just can't find one that is truly backlit for sale. The ones I am finding for sale have a backlit effect with a trim around the mirror to produce the effect like this.

I never thought it would be so hard to find but it is. Anyone have a source for this in the US? (The link above is an Australian site.) I am looking for just a mirror not a medicine cabinet. And something on the smaller side, although if I find a source they'll probably have multiple size options.

TIA

Look at Electricmirror.com Lots of options, but not sure they give prices. We were going to try to build our own. Mount mirrors on wood blocking, and run LED lights behind. This option would probably we more cost effective if you're handy.

Appreciate the tip bit that is an extremely expensive option. Their basic 30" x 30" lit mirror is over $1,300 and it doesn't even use LED lights, it's uses fluorescent bulbs. For that much you could get a well equipped Robern medicine cabinet.

What is the advantage of a backlit mirror?

It's a look I want.

You might as well ask why anyone even makes backlit mirrors...

OK, just wondering. Is this more for ambiance or is it bright enough for makeup, etc.?

Just for ambiance. This is not intended to provide vanity lighting, back lighting a mirror would not be good for that.

This? Backlit mirror on Amazon

Almost. I saw that but I prefer square corners. It's a very modern design so I think square corners will be a better fit. Price is right on that one though.

Sharper edges on this one.

Thanks again! That has the design I'm looking for, and it comes in two sizes, but the other size is bigger and I am shooting for smaller. And the price is great! So frustrating...

This is the faucet I'm pairing the mirror with and that's about the size mirror I'm looking for but I want the mirror backlit.

Actually, what I'd do is give these guys a call and ask what your options are.

Or go for the round backlit mirror.

The way to go is to do a google image search and then go through all the images.

Ooh. Nice.

My contractor was telling me about another of his projects where he's putting a backlit mirror on a wall of this tile. His finish carpenter is building it because they want a custom size that's not easy to find.

Sophia out of New York has a five year prorated warranty and will do custom sizes. Toolkiss out of Texas (China mfg) has a 96" x 36" at Home Depot for under $1000 with a 2 year warranty but only noted in a Q and A on Home Depot,
