The Shore bathroom mirrors are available in 2 different sizes one measuring 600mm x 450mm and the other measuring 700mm x 600mm. Both mirrors offer a good level of quality build and reliability. The design of both of the bathroom mirrors is of a rectangular shape in a portrait style with squares down either side allowing light to emit through. These bathroom mirrors are illuminated with low energy flurocesent tubes. Both bathroom mirrors are also supplied with integral shaver sockets on the left hand side that will operate an electric razor or charge a toothbrush. These bathroom mirrors have shaver sockets that are permanently live allowing electrical items to be charged even when the mirror lights are de-activated.

2011, What Bathroom Mirrors to expect
2010 has been an interesting year for bathroom mirror releases. With some manufacturers finally realising the issues surrounding aspects such as false bathroom mirror activation with mis-placed sensor switches we have seen the end of some of the annoying issues arose by consumers with their bathroom mirrors. 2011 should see this trend continue with a healthy balance of both new and innovative bathroom mirrors as well as an overall improvement in bathroom mirror quality.
Things to look out for should include bathroom mirrors with greater LED light output as well as contemporary features such as bathroom mirrors with LED clocks displayed through the glass and LED radio features also coming through as well.
On the whole 2011 should be a good year for new and existing bathroom mirrors.

Battery operated bathroom mirrors
We are constantly being asked by our customers if a bathroom mirror is available that is powered by batteries. If your bathroom is already completed then sometimes it is not practical for power cables to be added once the walls are tiled. In this instance it is difficult to install an illuminated bathroom mirror. Up to now we have not seen a bathroom mirror that was powered by batteries however in the last few days we have been informed that we will soon have an LED bathroom mirror that will be controlled by a rechargeable battery pack. Would a bathroom mirror like this be of interest to anyone?

Demisting bathroom mirrors with halogen bulbs
A quick bathroom mirror tip for those thinking of purchasing a bathroom mirror that will keep 'fog free' when a shower is running. If your budget won't stretch to cover the cost of a bathroom mirror with a built in demister pad then think about purchasing a bathroom mirror that uses halogen bulbs and activate the mirror five minutes before you run the shower. The bulbs within the illuminated mirror will begin to warm the glass and although they wont heat it as much as a proper demister pad will, they will certainly clear some of the steam from your bathroom mirrors.

Bathroom mirror poll results create a positive mirror promotion
Feedback from consumers is always usefull and the results can help shape promotions. When we asked what aspect consumers most look for when purchasing a bathroom mirror we discovered a shaver socket was the biggest priority. With this in mind the Shore bathroom mirror has been selected for promotion throughout December.
Mirror review: The Shore bathroom mirror measures 600 x 450mm and is approximately 45mm deep. It has a slight bevelled edge mirror glass sitting on a metal construction back box. The backbox of this bathroom mirror screws directly to the wall and has inside all the electrical components and bulbs. The shaver socket is located on the side of the mirror and is permanently live allowing a toothbrush or razor to be charge through the bathroom mirror even with the lights turned off. Power to the lights is controlled through a pull switch located at the bottom of the mirror.
The Shore bathroom mirror promotion will continue throughout December http://www.bathroom-mirror.co.uk/shore-mirror-small.html

Bathroom Mirrors and Zones within a bathroom
Its always worth refreshing your knowledge of bathroom zones with regards to lighting and in our case bathroom mirrors. Every illuminated bathroom mirror you purchase will have an IP rating. This basically tells you how watertight the unit will be. Your bathroom is broken down in to zones that tell you where you can install your bathroom mirror dependent upon its IP rating. Inside the actual bathtub is Zone 0. Above the bath to the ceiling (up to 2.25 metres) is zone 1. Outside zone 1 up to 60cm is zone 2 and everything outside this is an outside zone with no rules regarding installation. Also an area within 60cm of the taps on your sink is also zone 2.
Most bathroom mirrors tend to be IP44 rated. In this instance you can install the mirror in zones 1 and 2 and all outside zones. (you wouldn't really want to install the bathroom mirror inside zone 0 as this is inside the bathtub which would be rather unusual). Sometimes a mirror may have an IP rating of IP21. Most cabinets are like this because they can be opened or maybe they have an exposed shaver socket. In this instance the bathroom mirror could only be installed inside Zone 2.
As with everything common sense also should play a part. For extra bathroom mirror guidance I have included the following picture to demonstrate the above described zonal system.

Bathroom Mirrors helping you save energy
Most manufacturers make a wide range of bathroom mirrors that vary in appearance and use. One thing that can differ between bathroom mirror models is the type of lamp used to create the illumination. Originally most bathroom mirrors used halogen lamps that would provide plenty of light but could use a large amount of energy.
This energy consumption problem was answered with the introduction of compact fluorescent lamps within bathroom mirrors making them much more energy efficient. There has however been a further improvement in the design and construction of bathroom mirrors with the introduction (around 2 years ago) of LED bathroom mirrors. This type of bathroom mirror tends to have strips of tiny LEDs built in to the unit instead of seperate bulbs that have a more compact and contemporary look about them. The great advantage of LEDs in bathroom mirrors is the lack of heat generated from the bulbs wasting less heat energy and halting potential damage to the bulb. As they are designed to last for thousands of hours they don't tend to require replacing (cutting down on further expense when replacing traditional bulbs) but the main advantage is the running costs where one LED can consume less than 0.1W.
As with everything there are some slight downsides with LED bathroom mirrors. As they are low wattage they can sometimes be quite stark and not provide enough light for specific tasks such as shaving and applying make-up
