If you have decided that you need a magnifying mirror then you will also need better lighting.

Magnifying mirrors with built in LED illumination are in our opinion the perfect fit. Combining a precise enlarged image with shadow free light exactly where it's needed.

In the past this has been an expensive combination due to product cost and electrical installation.

But the new trend towards rechargeable battery-powered LED illuminated mirrors is changing this, fast.

Installation cost is almost zero. Put them anywhere and take them with you when you leave.

Performance is catching up with the most expensive mirrors. 20,000 hour product life, 8+ hour running time and adjustable colour and brightness.

While high-end wired mirrors still offer top performance, rechargeable options are quickly closing the gap in quality and features, See our range here.

It's worth spending money on a good quality illuminated mirror. But you can save $$$s on installation. Electricians are expensive.

We recommend the new rechargeable LED models. No need for expensive inwall wiring and no electrician needed.

Plus your new mirror will be easy to move between bathrooms or houses.

Take a look at our impressive Battery Powered options.

Light surrounds and illuminates the face - Shadow free and very comfortable to use.

Our modern LEDs are very efficient and last the life of the mirror - You will never need to change a bulb.

approx. 1/3 of the mirrors we sell are with LED illumination.

Position your face close to the mirror surface.

Slowly draw back until you achieve a clear enlarged image. This means you have found the mirror's focal point.

If the image flips upside down then you've pulled back too far.

3-fold magnification is the easiest magnification to use and for this reason it is preferred by hotels.

3x magnification provides a pleasantly enlarged image showing most of the face. Perfect for general makeup and shaving tasks.

If you wear glasses or need a highly detailed image for tweezing etc then read our FAQ section about 5x magnification.

5x magnification is actually our most popular magnification.

Recommended if you wear glasses and providing a detailed image for greater accuracy when tweezing, applying makeup or perfectly trimming a beard.

Remember you will see less of the face with this magnification and 5x magnification requires a little practise to find the correct focal point.

There is no international standard regarding magnifications. So manufacturers will make extravagant claims.

We believe that a genuine 7x magnification is the highest magnification that provides a detailed distortion free image and can be used for long periods without eye strain.

Our 7-fold is a VERY STRONG magnification and provides incredible detail.

Generally we recommend chromed brass, stainless steel or selected plastics as these materials are perfect for bathrooms and for regions with a seaside climate.

All these materials are rust resistant but chrome is especially popular as a finish for bathroom fittings and hardware.

Why Chrome? - Chrome is extremely hard and does not oxidise in air, thereby eliminating the need for regular polishing.

Further when it is electro-chemically plated on nickled brass the result is a brilliant lustre and complete corrosion prevention.
