Mirror lights are built to sit on, above or around a mirror, so the light starts close to your reflection instead of across the room. They are the quickest way to fix a dim bathroom mirror, a dressing mirror in a closet or a makeup station in the bedroom. The range here includes slim LED strip and tube lights that mount above the glass, a multi head design, a waterproof acrylic fixture, vintage bronze pieces, a cabinet top light, a retractable makeup light and lighted makeup mirrors, including folding wall mounted and double sided versions. Strip and tube lights run from about 12 inches to nearly 40 inches long, finished in black, white, gold, silver, chrome or bronze.

Matching the light to the mirror

• Width: Strip lights come in several lengths. A length a little shorter than the mirror keeps the frame visible at both ends and looks balanced when centered.
• Mounting surface: Some fixtures fix to the wall above the mirror, while others attach to a mirror cabinet. The description explains the mounting method.
• Adjustable heads: Rotatable and swing arm designs let you tilt light toward your face and away from the glass, which cuts reflected glare.
• Settings: Several mirror lights offer warm, neutral and cool modes, useful when you want to check an outfit or makeup under different light.

Placement tip: Next to a full length dressing mirror, add a lighted wall mounted makeup mirror. It gives close range light for detail work while the tall mirror handles the overall look.
