Can you explain how the lighting was done by the mirror?

7 years ago

Are they recessed or on top? What would I look for if I want to replicate?

Thank you for your interest in our project. The mirror is held off the wall just enough to let the wall tile under the edge. Then a string of LED lights was placed around and under the edge of the mirror and direct wired. (FYI - The mirror is actually held off the wall with blocking, The mirror is attached to the wall through the blocking, not through the tile. ) We hope this information is helpful.

I am confused. The Led light is coming from behind the mirror? From the picture it looks like a lighting fixture that is placed next to the mirror?

No, the mirror is 64 1/2 inches tall and 24 inches wide PLUS a 3 inch frosted edge on either side (total width 30 inches). And that is actually light BEHIND the frosted edge of the mirror. I hope that helps.
