How to choose a magnifying mirror with light?

A woman at any age is faced with the problem of applying even makeup with insufficiently bright light, without having a good mirror at hand. To make this procedure as convenient and comfortable as possible, a cosmetic mirror with the effect of magnification and a special light was developed. This product will fit for men shaving.

The distinctive quality of such a mirror from the usual for all standard wall option is small in size, since it is used, as a rule, only for the face.

Currently, two-sided models are very popular, in which one side reflects the real image and the other has a magnifying effect.There are models that increase the display in 5 and even 10 times, which allows you to carefully consider all the details of makeup. No distortion is allowed, but there are minor image errors at the edge of the glass.

For greater comfort, some models of mirrors are equipped with a bracket or flexible bar so that they can be turned in any direction and look at themselves from the side.

Mirrors can also be divided into two types:

• Panoramic. They are large in size, ideal for applying makeup.
• Magnifying Such small-sized models are very often installed in large panoramic mirrors or beauty models.

An important role is played by the backlight. As a rule, it is located around the perimeter of the mirror. By production of such products various types of lamps are used:

• Glow plugs. In simpler models with low cost found the use of incandescent bulbs. This option is not the most durable and reliable, so it is not very popular with customers.
• Halogen. This option is resistant to high humidity, and the service life is much longer than that of incandescent bulbs.
• Fluorescent.A big plus - the light from such lamps is as close as possible to the daylight, and the minus is constant flickering. Because of this, the eyes are irritated and very tired.
• LED. The best option for all positive qualities - LED lamps. They are characterized by durability, reliability, appearance.

Mirrors are divided and by type of location of the backlight:

• Outdoor In such models there are several types of small lamps. They equip the mirror in the form of a frame inside the mirror surface. A cosmetic product with such a backlight can be used to illuminate a room thanks to a bright light.
• Inner. Due to the location of the LED lamps under the frosted glass, the eyes with this light do not get tired. Models of mirrors with internal light differ in high price.
• Decorative. Such lighting in products, as a rule, plays the role of decoration.

In the manufacture of mirrors using conventional glass, which is applied a certain coating. Its quality determines how realistic the display will be, as well as how long the mirror will serve.Modern manufacturers prefer several types of coverage:

• The most economical option - aluminum coating. The mirrors with aluminum coating are characterized by a short service life, are not suitable for operation in a wet environment, and are characterized by poor reflection quality.
• Amalgam coating. Amalgam is a very weak alloy. To give durability to such a coating, it is varnished on top of it. Such raw materials are most often used for the manufacture of pocket mirrors of small sizes. The life of a model with such a coating is short and it will be vulnerable to high levels of humidity.
• Dusting from titanium or titanium oxide. The titanium-coated mirror has a long service life, is not afraid of moisture, but the reflection in it is highly distorted, has a gray or bluish tint.
• The most expensive option is silver platingor an alloy of silver and copper. Buying such a mirror, you can count on excellent (almost without distortion) reflection. The mirror is not afraid of water, durable.

When choosing a cosmetic mirror, you should pay attention not only to the coating, but also to other design features:

• Table mirror is used on the mirror or on the table for makeup.
• Cosmetic wall mirror is fixed on the wall with the help of a hinged mount, due to which the product can be rotated.
• Universal. This is the best option. It can be used in different variations: on the wall, on the table, or on the road, since such a mirror has a compact size. Despite all the positive qualities, these options have one drawback - the high price.

Before you choose one model or another, you need to understand in which room it is better to install it, as well as decide on the size and purpose of using a mirror. You should also assess your financial capabilities and decide which model of manufacturer attracts you more. Only by answering these questions, you can proceed to the choice of product.

If you plan to place the mirror in the bathroom, choose a larger model with a built-in small mirror and a moisture-resistant coating.

The ideal option for the hallway - a model in which you can watch the reflection in full growth before leaving the house.In this case, the coating does not play a big role, the image quality is much more important. The light should not be too bright.

For a bedroom, a two-way small mirror with a small LED backlight is suitable.
