Back lit bathroom mirror


Temp

Recommended Posts

For my next project I'm thinking of building an illuminated bathroom mirror. Something irregular shape like this to suit our bathroom that has a sloping ceiling above the basin.

I can get a mirror cut easy enough. The back will be something like 20mm mdf painted/sealed with a waterproof LED strip around the edge. 

 

I haven't started looking for LED drivers yet but I know there are loads available. Does anyone know if there are types that remember their brightness/colour settings over a power outage? That way I could wire it to the same light switch as the main room lights.

That looks very nice indeed. I like the way that the curves contrast with the straight lines in the rest of the bathroom.

 

Rather than do something as creative as you have, I just went out and bought one. SWMBO really likes it, but I don't like it very much because of its infrared switch. You have to wave your hand in front of it before the damn thing lights up. I know it's a first world problem, but it seems to manage to switch itself off just as quickly as it switches itself on  - one hand movement can cause it to both switch on and off.

As I say, a first world problem.
