What is a front-lit LED mirror?
A front-lit mirror places illuminated lines or zones visibly toward the user. Common forms include vertical task strips, perimeter rings and inset frame lights. It is a useful starting point when the buyer wants clear face lighting or a recognisable illuminated design.
What is a backlit LED mirror?
A backlit mirror projects light toward the wall to create a halo around the mirror. The final effect is influenced by the wall surface, mounting distance, mirror shape and surrounding bathroom light.
When does dual lighting make sense?
A dual-light design can pair direct front light with ambient backlight. Buyers should define which effect matters most, how it should operate, and whether dimming or colour-temperature adjustment suits the selected design.
