Bathroom Mirror Lights - How to Choose the Right Kind

Bathroom mirror light can work wonders for your bathroom. Whether you admit it or not, most of us spend a considerable amount of time in front of the mirror. From this arises the necessity to get your bathroom, the latest kind of lighting available.

It is not necessary to renovate the entire bathroom lighting just because the existing lights are not modern enough. Just changing the bathroom mirror light could do the trick for you.

Factors That Have To Be Kept In Mind

Providing the correct lighting for a room is a very challenging job. Here are a few tips to make the process easier for you:

The lighting of the mirror should be such that it eliminates all unnecessary shadows.

The mirror light should provide cross lighting. You can determine this by checking whether the mirror light casts a shadow under your eyes or concentrates on your eyebrows. If it does either, then the lighting is not right. Friendly lighting is one that includes light from both the sides, above and below.

Avoid frosted bulbs or fixtures that are made out of glass shields and opaque plastic. Use illuminated bathroom mirrors instead.

Make sure that the sink front edges as well as the countertop get well illuminated with the light you select.

If your wall mirror is more than 24 inches wide then select a wall mounted light for the top of the mirror as well as the sides of the mirror. This would complete the cross lighting effect.

If the mirror is more than 26 inches wide then you would have to use a powerful overhead light source. This source should also be able to cover the mid section of the mirror.

If you can successfully incorporate all the above mentioned tips then you would easily be able to pick the right kind of bathroom mirror light for your home. While searching for the mirror lights, remember to browse the Internet and go through some discount bathroom mirrors. Who knows, you might come across the perfect kind of mirror for your bathroom.
