Default LED Bathroom mirror

Does anyone have a LED mirror in bathroom? If so, do you like it?

I saw a couple in a store and found the LEDs shining directly back at me to be annoying, but that is just me. Also, make sure you consider the electrical supply to the mirror and whether you are going to retain the original lighting, you may need an electrician for the install. If this mirror requires a cutout for mounting be sure to check the location of the studs and be prepared if you find metal studs.

I have one at our up north home. It was put in during remodel. Yes it needs to be framed into wall, and wired which wasn’t a big deal.

Problem here is you have metal interior studs, maybe a very expensive perk.

That said it was the best mirror and worth the expense. Off looks like a mirror, low light for everyday stuff, makeup mode depending on the bulbs gives you makeup mode, or makes shaving and trimming the perfect view.

Especially as eyesight varies.

Thanks for the information and the fact that you like it!
