In South Africa, bathroom lights tended to be quite low on homeowners’ list of priorities, but this is no longer the case! These days, bathrooms have become a focus area in many homes, so good LED (Light Emitting Diode) lighting, that optimises both function and aesthetics, has become the norm.

Vanity areas can be enhanced with effective task lighting which can be a fixture above the mirror, wall sconces on each side, or an LED bathroom mirror with lights. Many people get dressed and do their makeup in the bathroom, so a light source that mimics natural light with no colour distortion is crucial. 

Why have LED bathroom lights become so much more popular? 

LED bathroom Lights Around Mirror have many advantages. The first is safety, as they run at lower voltages and temperatures. 

They are also resistant to damage from steam and water, which makes them more durable and cost-effective. Their lower voltages also save an impressive amount of energy, quickly paying for themselves. 

Our wide range of LED bathroom lights will contribute greatly to the ambience of your bathroom as a place to relax and wash away stress! Many come with a dimming function to perfectly set the mood for that relaxing soak. An adjustable LED bathroom light bar will add even more versatility and function to your bathroom lighting. 

Why getting a bathroom mirror with lights could be better than buying additional lighting

A bathroom mirror with LED lights offers superb lighting for vanities and dressing areas. They can be installed either horizontally or vertically, and come in many sizes, shapes, and designs. They use very little energy, and are available in a variety of colours and light intensities. 

Our ‘white’ light range offers the perfect lighting for doing makeup, grooming, or shaving as it shows the ‘true’ colours of clothes and makeup. As the lighting surrounds the mirror, no bothersome shadows will fall on your face while you're doing your makeup or shaving. Many of the mirrors also come with a built-in demisting function.

Points to remember when looking at bathroom lights for sale

When planning or modernising your bathroom, one of the important points to consider is what kind of LED Lights Around Mirror you are going to use. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Will the lighting you choose give you good task lighting over the vanity area? You don't want lighting that throws shadows as this will make shaving and doing makeup difficult, so recessed bathroom ceiling lights might not be your best bet in this case. A vertical fixture above, or two on each side of the mirror, will be better, as will an LED.

• Is your shower and bathtub adequately lit, or do you need dedicated lights for them? A recessed fitting with a glass lens (that won’t yellow over time) will work best. 
• What will be providing your ambient lighting? How about a pendant light or a chandelier? Or should you consider cove lighting, accent, or other forms of recessed lighting? A dimmer facility will really allow you to control the mood you wish to set in the bathroom, plus it conserves energy.  
• Are all my fittings safe? Electricity and water can literally be a lethal combination, so all installations must be done by a certified electrician. All outlets must have GFCIs, (ground-fault circuit interrupters) and all fixtures must be ‘wet’ rated.
