A hardwired LED bathroom mirror connects to a fixed electrical supply for a neat finish without a visible plug. Use a registered electrician for the electrical installation. Your part is choosing the mirror, confirming its position and deciding how you want the lights and other functions to work each day.
Planning those details before the mirror arrives helps keep cables concealed and avoids a bracket or connection point clashing with the back of the unit. Browse LED bathroom mirrors by size and features and give the installer the instructions for the model you select.
1. Set the position around the people using it
Centre the mirror in relation to the basin or vanity, then check the reflection at the usual standing positions. Leave clearance for taps, cupboards and nearby lights. Our bathroom mirror height guide helps you plan a comfortable view.
Think about light direction as well as appearance. Front lighting brings illumination towards your face, backlighting creates a halo and a dual-light mirror combines the two. The backlit mirror collection is a useful starting point when atmosphere is your priority.
2. Decide how the power and controls should work
Tell the electrician whether you want the mirror independently available when the ceiling light is off. A supply that switches with the main light also removes power from any clock, audio or other powered functions when switched off. Built-in dimming does not automatically mean compatibility with an external dimmer.
Our LED mirror power guide compares suitable socket and hardwired arrangements. For a fixed connection, the electrician specifies the connection method, protection and cable route; the cable-sizing guide explains what information to provide.
3. Check the wall and mounting arrangement
The installer needs to assess the structure behind the finished surface and select appropriate fixings. Use the bracket positions in the product instructions instead of assuming the cable outlet or mount will be in the centre. Wider mirrors for double vanities also need a practical plan for lifting and positioning.
Electrical Safety First recommends a registered electrician for bathroom electrical installation work. The electrician handles safe isolation, the model-specific connection and final electrical checks. A generic live-neutral-earth diagram is not a substitute for the actual mirror instructions.

4. Check the result before the installer leaves
Ask for a demonstration of switching, brightness, colour modes and the demister where fitted. Check how the mirror behaves after the wall supply is switched off and restored. Confirm it is secure, level and comfortable to use, with no trapped cable or obstructed controls.
If something does not respond, use the LED mirror power troubleshooting guide to describe the symptom. For the finishing touch, follow our cleaning guide to remove installation marks gently.
Make the upgrade feel complete
A new mirror can refresh the vanity without replacing every fitting. Read ways to update a bathroom mirror for ideas, or contact us through the contact page to help narrow your choice. Explore LED Mirror World for shapes and features that fit your room.
