Magnifying mirrors, also known as cosmetic mirrors or make up mirrors, are one of the most utilized items in a bathroom today. Contemporary magnifying mirrors come in many different forms and finishes, and understanding each type will help you pick one for you very own bathroom. So here is a quick summary on all the different types of luxury magnifying mirrors that are available in the market.
The first choice one needs to make when picking their magnifying mirror is whether they want a lighted magnifying mirror or not. There are many different lights used for magnifying mirrors such as LED, fluorescent, or incandescent. LED, which stands for light-emitting diode, is the most expensive form of light in the market due to the lower energy consumption and longer lifetime. Fluorescent and incandescent lights utilize different light bulbs, however, these lights are similar in price range.
Lighted magnifying mirrors are single-sided and have two choices of magnification; 3x and 5x. On the other hand, magnifying mirrors that are not lighted are usually double-sided. “Double-sided” mirrors have one side with regular magnification, and another side with a magnification of 3x, 5x, or 7x.
Another option one must consider when selecting their mirror is whether they want it to be wall mounted, counter-standing or hand held. Wall mounted mirrors usually have extendible arms allowing the user to adjust it to their preference. Counter-standing and hand held magnifying mirrors are more popular choice due to the fact that they allow for more mobility.
High quality magnifying mirrors are usually made in brass and are plated with a finish. Popular finish choices include chrome, gold, satin nickel, polished nickel, and more. Often gold and satin nickel finishes tend to be a little more expensive than chrome finish.
