How Do LED Mirror GET POWER?

2022/12/07

0
LED mirrors are powered by electricity or batteries. LED mirrors often come with their own wiring and power adapters. Simply connect the cabling to the power source in your home by following the manufacturer's instructions. A circuit breaker must be turned off before installation can begin.

Additionally, LED mirrors with plug-in power supplies are available. You can ask an electrician for help if you're not familiar with this kind of mirror.
 

Why Does an LED Mirror Need Power?


LED stands for a light-emitting diode, thus it should be obvious that they require power to function.

In order for the LED bulbs that are part of the mirror to turn on, they need to be linked to electricity. The LED vanity mirror's additional functions all require energy to function effectively.
 

How is an LED bathroom mirror wired?


In order to power the LED Mirror, you must install a new electrical outlet and link it to your electrical circuit, therefore if you're wondering how to install an LED Mirror without an electrical outlet behind the new mirror placement, follow these steps.

We advise hiring a licensed electrician for this stage if you aren't equipped to do it yourself.

Step 1. Choosing the "Best Location" for Electrical Outlet

By measuring the location of the wire harness on the back of your LED Mirror, you can find the placement of the electrical outlet. Then, move that spot to the wall where you plan to hang the mirror.

The new electrical outlet will be roughly in the center of this wall mark.

Step 2. Install the Mirror's Electrical "Outlet Box"

Find the closest wall stud to your wall mark using a stud sensor, then attach a single outlet electrical box to the wood stud.

 

Step 3. Connect "Wiring" To The Outlet

An electrician will be required to establish wiring from the home's electrical circuit to the electrical outlet box and connect it to a new outlet in order to wire (no wall switch) the new LED mirror (plug).

You won't need the new "outlet" if you are "hardwiring" the electrical circuit straight to the LED mirror.

Step 4. Check the Outlet's Power

Finally, use a voltage meter to check the voltage at the Outlet and the power supply.

A separate light switch must be attached to the electrical box's cabling in order to power the LED Mirror if you plan to use a light switch (Wall) to control it.
