Lighting Tips & Ideas | Lighting.co.za

A bathroom mirror is measured against the basin, not general eye level, leave roughly 10–15cm of clearance above the tap. But height is only half the job: this guide also covers frontlit versus backlit for grooming, the colour temperature and CRI that actually shows your true skin tone, and whether a demister is worth having.

LED doesn't automatically beat standard, it depends on the room. This guide breaks down when a plain mirror is genuinely the better choice, the real difference between frontlit, backlit, and edge-lit LED mirrors, and which shape (round, arch, pill, rectangular, or organic) actually suits your space and style, not just your budget.
