I love backlighting - but does it provide makeup, shaving appropriate light? - It doesn't seem to. I need a lighting expert on this one. Thanks.

I agree, I'm really glad that I got this information. Now that I am a little bit older it is really hard for me to see in the mirror. We are thinking about putting in a backlit mirror like this one. Ours won't be this big, but I really like the way that it is lit. http://www.majesticmirror.com/product-category/backlit-mirrors

Lynne, I've lost touch with the interior designer who completed this project. Her name is Jena Barker and she was based in San Antonio. If I could send you her contact information I would, but if you really wanted to find out, you could probably look her up and she would be able to answer your question. Good Luck!

Te wet location rated led strip lighting used behind this mirror was mounted to a support structure behind mirror. The mirror and lights were two separate things, so you could use any mirror. Good luck with your project.

Does the light need to be recessed so the reflection of the bulb doesn't show up with dots on the tiles?

Yes, recessing helps...the further the better. However, with shiny things next to shiny things it's virtually impossible to eliminate reflections from all angles. If you're very concerned about dots, lensing the fixture or using a fixture that doesn't show any dots are both options. There are ways to detail this to eliminate the reflections, but it does get a bit complicated. Mock ups always help you understand how everything works together to eliminate the unknowns.

I don't have exact dimensions of this project in front of me at the moment, but I'm guessing we had about 2" or so. Thx.

Good day Sir,

Can you share the detail drawing of the mirror with the LED lighting?

Thanks,

What is the recommended height for approx 7' wide mirror - We like the ratio of this mirror and would like to do something similar. If we have approx 7' wide mirror, what would be the recommended top to bottom height?

From what I can tell the mirror was about 3' tall (it was done by Jena Barker, the interior designer). I looked at the archive drawings and this mirror was about 8' wide. I think you could stay in this 36-32" tall range and get a really similar look. Good luck!

I was the lighting designer, but the interior designer was Jena Barker out of San Antonio, TX. Here is Jena's website if you'd like to contact her directly. Good luck http://www.designpt.net/

What Houzz contributors are saying:

Karen LeBlanc Design TV Host & Writer/Blogger added this to The Lowdown on High-Efficiency LED Lighting
LED Strip (or Panel) LightsStrips backlight this mirror above and below, creating a soft but dramatic look. Because of an additional covering, strip lights are moisture resistant, which makes them a great choice for lighting a bathroom vanity.
