What is the mirror with lights called? It\u2019s called a lighted mirror, a light-up mirror, or an illuminated mirror. Another popular term for it is an LED mirror, which means it is lit up with LED or light-emitting diode bulbs. There are different types of lighted mirrors, such as LED makeup mirrors, edge-lit mirrors, backlit mirrors, and Hollywood or vanity mirrors. These lighted mirrors vary in terms of design.<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

What to Call Mirrors with Lights?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Mirrors with lights are commonly and simply referred to as lighted mirrors or light-up mirrors. Another term for them is illuminated mirrors. They mean the same thing: mirrors that are installed with a lighting system. LED bulbs are the most commonly used lights for illuminated mirrors, which is why mirrors with lights are also called LED mirrors.<\/b><\/p>\n

Illuminated mirrors usually have their lights placed around their edges, like a frame. There are also mirrors with LED lights behind them. We\u2019ll go into greater detail about the different kinds of lighted mirrors later in this post.<\/span><\/p>\n

Because they have a built-in lighting system, lighted mirrors illuminate the objects around them. If you stand in front of a bathroom mirror with LEDs and the lights are turned on, you\u2019ll see your reflection clearly, with all the parts of your face illuminated evenly. This is because the lighting comes from all angles.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will also notice that no part of your face is in shadow because the lighting is directly in front of you. In contrast, if you stand in front of a regular mirror and the only source of illumination is a light fixture on the ceiling, parts of your face will be in shadow, like your eyes.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you need to do your makeup, overhead lighting can make it difficult for you to see your entire face properly. You\u2019ll need to tilt your head this way and that just to see all of your features in the light.<\/span><\/p>\n

What are the Different Types of Lighted Mirrors?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are four major types of lighted mirrors: backlit mirrors, edge-lit mirrors, Hollywood or vanity mirrors, and makeup mirrors. They differ in terms of design, where the lights are placed, the kinds of lights that they have, and their size.<\/b><\/p>\n

Backlit Mirrors<\/b><\/h3>\n

Backlit mirrors are lighted mirrors that have LEDs placed behind them. The lights are attached around a base or frame at the back of the mirror glass. The base or frame creates a space between the mirror and the wall, which makes it look like the mirror is floating. When the mirror lights are turned on, they cast a glow from around the back of the mirror, creating a backlit effect.

Edge-Lit Mirrors<\/b><\/h3>\n

Edge-lit mirrors have their lights placed around the edges of the surface of the mirror so that the light is coming from the front instead of the back. This is why edge-lit mirrors are also called front-lit mirrors. The lights are encased behind a frosted or semi-opaque portion of the mirror surface.<\/span><\/p>\n

Hollywood\/Vanity Mirrors<\/b><\/h3>\n

Hollywood mirrors also have their lights placed along the edges of the mirror, with one significant difference: the light bulbs protrude from the surface of the mirror. Hollywood mirrors can often be seen in movies and television shows, usually in scenes that show actors and actresses getting ready and putting makeup on. These mirrors are also called vanity mirrors. Using them can make you feel like a star yourself!<\/span><\/p>\n

Lighted Makeup Mirrors<\/b><\/h3>\n

Lighted makeup mirrors are smaller and more compact versions of the larger edge-lit mirrors. Makeup mirrors are designed to be portable, so you can place them on any table you use for makeup. Makeup mirrors run on batteries, and some can even be recharged via USB. Because of their size, lighted makeup mirrors make for a great travel companion.<\/span><\/p>\n
