Where do LED mirrors plug in?

LED mirrors typically plug into an electrical outlet, but the specific location and setup can vary depending on the type of mirror you have. Here’s a breakdown:

1. Plug-In LED Mirrors (Standard)

• Where it plugs in: These mirrors come with a power cord that ends in a plug, which you can insert into a standard electrical outlet.
• Typical Locations:
  • Wall outlet: The most common setup for bathroom mirrors or vanity mirrors.
  • Extension cord: If an outlet isn't nearby, you might need to use an extension cord to reach the nearest electrical outlet.
• Usage: These mirrors are easy to set up and can be installed in areas where you have an available outlet.

2. Hardwired LED Mirrors

• Where it plugs in: These mirrors don’t plug in like the standard plug-in models. Instead, they need to be wired directly into your home’s electrical system.
• Installation: Hardwiring an LED mirror usually requires running wires from the mirror to a power source inside the wall, which may require cutting a hole in the wall and connecting the wires to an existing power circuit.
  • Switch control: Once hardwired, these mirrors can be turned on and off using a switch, just like other built-in lighting fixtures.
• Ideal for: Those looking for a clean, permanent installation without visible cords.

3. USB-Powered LED Mirrors (Portable)

• Where it plugs in: Some LED mirrors, especially smaller or portable ones, can be powered via USB.
  • USB port: You can plug the mirror’s USB cable into a wall adapter with a USB port or a power bank.
  • Laptop/PC: These mirrors can also be powered by plugging the USB directly into a laptop or computer.
• Usage: These mirrors are generally smaller and more portable, perfect for travel or temporary setups.

Important Considerations:

• Location of outlet: When placing your mirror, make sure the power cord can comfortably reach an outlet without being a tripping hazard or hanging awkwardly.
• Cord management: For a cleaner look, consider using cord covers or wall-mounted outlets to hide the cords.
• Safety: If you're unsure about wiring a hardwired LED mirror, it's best to hire a licensed electrician to ensure safe and proper installation.

Conclusion: Most plug-in LED mirrors can be easily plugged into a nearby electrical outlet, while hardwired models need professional installation. USB-powered mirrors provide flexibility for portable use.
