To install lights on a vanity mirror, you must attach adhesive mounting strips evenly around the mirror’s frame and securely press each light onto it. Then, plug in and test the lights, adjusting cords to keep everything tidy and well-lit. If you want to learn the process step by step, read my entire comment.

How to Install LED Lights on Vanity Mirror?

Installing LED lights on a vanity mirror is easy, but you must know how it works. Here is a step-by-step method that you can follow:

• Start by deciding where you want the LED light on your vanity mirror. 

• Measure and mark these spots so that you can install the lights evenly

• Clean the mirror frame to make sure the adhesive strips stick well and make sure the surface is dry

• Peel off the adhesive backing on each LED strip and press it firmly to your marked spots around the mirror

• Connect the LED strip to a power source, then test the lights. You can use clips or small adhesive tabs to keep any extra cords neatly tucked.

This is the basic process on how to install vanity lights on mirror. I did not have any plugin points near my vanity mirror, so I had to get one, but make sure you have it. In case you don’t have it, hire a professional and give away the entire task to him.

Do you spend a lot of time scrolling through Instagram, drooling over vanities? Well, I do too! Having a vanity is important for all those who like to do makeup. It makes doing makeup easy and it’s the best way to show off your collection on social media. The secret to a perfect makeup space is incorporating a makeup vanity with lights. This will offer old Hollywood charm to your space, creating the ideal lighting for exceptional makeup application.

• If you are not looking for a travel solution, then LED light strips with a plugin power supply are a simple type of DIY lighting for you to install in your home.

• First, you have to decide how many edges of the mirror you want to use. I suggest you use all four edges for the best lighting, although left and right sides, top and bottom, or top only work too.

• Next, you will have to decide whether to attach to the mirror frame or directly to the glass, and how far in from the edge.

• You will have to use a measuring tape carefully to work out the dimensions.

• Pick and order the LED strip in the right length.

• Plug in and test the lights before you fix them.

• Use a microfibre cloth and rubbing alcohol to clean the mirror. Make sure the surface is free from grease.

• Decide the power cord’s location.

• Peel off the backing tape and press the strip into place. You can even use a straight edge like a timber batten or ruler to make sure your lights are parallel with the mirror edge.

• At corners, depending on the type of light, either fold or bend the strip. If you want to cut the strip, you may have to purchase and fit separate connectors.
