Illuminated Mirrors

Illuminated Mirrors Canada – LED Bathroom & Vanity Mirrors

An illuminated mirror does two jobs at once: it provides even, shadow-free light for grooming and serves as a clean, modern focal point on the wall. LED illuminated mirrors surround or backlight the glass with energy-efficient light that falls evenly on the face — far better for makeup, shaving, and skincare than overhead lighting alone — and many add features like anti-fog, dimming, and adjustable colour temperature.

Our range spans backlit and front-lit mirrors in rectangular, round, and oval shapes, from leading names including Paris Mirror and Renwil. Whether you’re outfitting a powder room or a double vanity, there’s a size and style to suit.

Montreal Lighting & Hardware carries illuminated mirrors online and at our showroom in Mount-Royal, Quebec. All products are priced in Canadian dollars with free shipping on orders over $199 CAD.

LED Illuminated & Vanity Mirrors

Backlit & Front-Lit Mirrors

Backlit mirrors glow softly around their edges for an ambient, floating look, while front-lit mirrors place light where it best illuminates the face for grooming. Both use energy-efficient LEDs; the right choice depends on whether you want a design statement, maximum task light, or both.

Vanity Mirrors with Features

Many illuminated mirrors include practical extras — anti-fog (defog) heating pads that keep the glass clear after a shower, dimming to set the brightness, adjustable colour temperature to shift from warm to cool white, and integrated magnification for detailed grooming. Feature availability varies by model; check the product page for a specific mirror.

Shapes & Sizes

Illuminated mirrors come in rectangular, round, and oval shapes across a wide range of sizes, so you can match the mirror to your vanity width and the room’s style — from a compact powder-room round to a large mirror spanning a double vanity.

Illuminated Mirror FAQs

What size mirror should I choose for my vanity?

A mirror should generally span about two-thirds to three-quarters the width of the vanity below it — for a 48-inch vanity, roughly a 32 to 36-inch mirror, or one centered over each sink on a double vanity. Mount the mirror at eye level, typically with its center around 60 to 65 inches from the floor, leaving a few inches of clearance above the backsplash or faucet.

Do illuminated mirrors have anti-fog, and are they suitable for bathrooms?

Many illuminated mirrors include an anti-fog (defog) feature — a heating pad behind the glass that prevents steam from fogging the mirror after a shower. Illuminated mirrors are designed for bathroom use, but confirm the specific product’s suitability and any location rating on its spec sheet, particularly for placement near a shower or tub.

Can an illuminated mirror be the only light source in a bathroom?

In a smaller bathroom, a well-sized illuminated mirror may provide enough light, but in most bathrooms it works best paired with ambient ceiling lighting. For grooming specifically, mirror light that hits the face evenly is ideal — better than overhead light, which casts shadows. Our specialists can help you plan the full bathroom.

What colour temperature is best for a bathroom mirror?

A neutral white in the range of roughly 3000K to 4000K is a popular choice for vanities — warm enough to feel comfortable, cool enough to show accurate colour for makeup and grooming. Many illuminated mirrors offer adjustable colour temperature so you can switch between warm and cool white; check the product page to confirm.

How are illuminated mirrors installed?

Illuminated mirrors are typically hardwired and should be installed by a qualified electrician, who will mount the mirror securely and connect the wiring safely according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Installation details vary by model — refer to the product’s instructions for its specific mounting and wiring requirements.
