Define “Lumens” and “Watts” for LED Lighted vanity mirrors?
Bright lighting is all about lumens. The standard definition of Lumens is the total amount of visible light reaching the human eye from a light source.
Watts is used to measure the energy consumption by the fixture. One watt amount to a small amount of power. Remember, Watt is the amount of energy consumed, and the fixture’s brightness is measured by Lumens.
Each light in your bathroom must aid your visibility. If there are seniors inside the house, then you should consider better lumen and wattage capacity.

Do LED bathroom mirrors deliver enough light to the bathroom space?
LED mirrors deliver optimal brightness for the person to finish his daily tasks. The illumination is diffused and projects straight forward from the frosted glass to the front and does not intend to project to the room’s corners.
Our premium range of LED Vanity mirrors comes with double the brightness output, and the power consumption is also less than standard lights. The clients can also install compatible dimmers to regulate the brightness of the LED mirrors.
We also advise installing additional LED sconces or pendants to provide excellent task lighting for the bathroom space.
What color temperature is recommended for the LED mirrors?
Mostly, the LED mirrors come with a color temperature ranging from 3000K to 6000K (Kelvins). The absolute color scale is measured in Kelvins (K) on a scale of 1000 to 10,000. When you choose a specific look and feel for your space,
3000K lights deliver a “warmer” temperature, which is helpful when you have softer lighting conditions inside your bathroom. The “cool white” (6000K) provides ambient brightness to the bathroom space. The CCT remembrance function can recall the temperature you have set in for better functionality.

It is a good idea to understand the CRI requirements for your bathroom space. The numbers do indicate how accurate the colors look under different lighting conditions.
Light fixtures with a CRI range of 85 or more are considered a better choice for bathroom space.
