A bathroom mirror is a tool we use daily to ensure we are ready for life’s important events. While mirrors are important for personal grooming, exceptional lighting is even more important as it improves visibility, aesthetics and, as a result, the level of attention to detail. When mirrors and light are combined, you have the perfect balance between function and design that ensures you and your bathroom always look their best.

Backlighting is a method that involves placing the light behind an object to create an ‘aura’ of light that can be seen on the surfaces directly behind the object itself. Consequently, backlighting is a unique method for accentuating decorative surfaces in any room and creating a luxurious atmosphere. Additionally, using mirror backlighting with LEDs creates such an elegant way of mixing reflection and light to boost the usability of the mirror itself and the aesthetics of the room.

LED strip lights are ideal for backlighting mirrors of any shape or size due to their compact dimensions and exceptional brightness. When it comes to matching bathroom decor, there is a wide offering in regards to white color temperatures that ensures the lighting matches the bathroom design.

Pro Tip: For modern materials such as concrete and stone, warm white and natural white work very well; whereas, warmer whites look great paired with wood and bamboo.

With regards to installation, LED strip lights are manufactured with an adhesive backing which makes them incredibly easy to install behind mirrors (or other objects), without the need for brackets or screws. This makes strip lights a simple-to-install and sleek lighting system that provides excellent illumination and can beautify any space or item.

Dimmer wall switch - The LutronⓇ LED dimmers are the perfect dimming option for a classic bathroom. The benefit of this wall switch is that it can fit into a regular wall receptacle.

Juno™ Bluetooth Smartphone Single Color LED Dimmer - This controller is perfect for anyone who likes to be able to control their home from their pocket. The Juno Bluetooth smartphone controller comes with 2 slim-line remotes that allow for browsing of pre-chosen settings created and stored on the smartphone app. The app is compatible with both iOS and Android phones and lets you control all aspects of your lights from your phone. Another great bonus is that the Juno receiver is small and can be easily hidden out of view for a truly wireless feel.

Wireless Wall or Desktop Dimmer - For a modern touch, the wireless wall or desktop dimmer can be used to turn on and dim the lights by pressing and turning the dial to the desired brightness. These dimmers are wireless and work via radio frequency (RF) which means you don’t have to be in the room to manage the lights (dimmer will work up to 100 ft/ from the receiver). The receiver is the apparatus that receives the information from the dimmer and communicates the signal to the lights.
