SHKL has been professional in producing bathroom vanity, shower door and LED bathroom mirror since 2004.
LED mirrors are gaining wide popularity due to their diverse variety of uses. It is therefore our duty as manufacturers and distributors to produce and distribute the best qualities. However, the best qualities are relative. It means that people define quality LED mirrors differently.
While some mirrors have features that make them stand out, these features make them more expensive. For this reason, we have carefully highlighted 17 factors (unique features) that will affect the price of LED mirrors. These are the features that affect your pricing with customers during negotiation.
The costs of a LED mirror vary based on several factors. Some factors that affect the cost of bathroom vanity mirrors are their designs, function, and shapes. In addition, their waterproof ability affects their cost too. Howbeit, other factors affect the cost of LED mirrors. We as a manufacturer of LED bathroom mirrors for many years, have summarized the following 17 points in total.
Here is our ranking of LED mirrors price according to their materials:
Rank by price: Eco-friendly Mirrors > Silver Mirror > Aluminum Mirror
Rank by performance: Eco-friendly Mirrors > Silver Mirror > Aluminum Mirror
There are several dimensions of a vanity mirror. These dimensions of mirror glass are priced to suit different people. Moreover, as you will expect, the cost of a makeup mirror will differ from that of a bathroom vanity mirror. The reason for this is the varying materials and cost of purchase.
Rank by price, Infinity > Ice > Frost
Generally, a LED mirror is often ¼, ⅛, and 3/16 thick. However, the most suitable mirror thickness is ¼.
When a mirror's thickness is not well suited for its size, the mirror image will be distorted. Therefore, it will not reflect light perfectly. For this reason, a LED mirror with the perfect thickness is more expensive than another without.
Also, the design of a mirror can affect the cost of the mirror. While frameless mirrors are less expensive, framed mirrors are more expensive. The reason for this is the cost of materials, craftsmanship, effort, and time spent in designing the mirror is summed up to give you a cost.
Functionality is an important factor affecting the price, thus, there are more functions, and the more expensive.
Single color: Single color LED strips are the most common type in LED mirrors. They often emit a single color temperature, the common model are: 2700K, 3000K, 4000K, 5000K and 6000K.
Double color: Double color strip of LED lights emits double color temperature, that is one LED strip integrates two chips, the common model combination are: 2700K and 5000K/6000K, becuase after mixing and dimming, they can generate a new color temperature that is difference from their own. Also that is the principle of "CCT adjusting" function. They were more expensive than single-color lights.
Tricolor: They emit more than two color temperature of light, the principle is like "double color's", but the effect is better . They're the most expensive type of LED strip.
The top LED strip lights are:
The prices will vary depending on which brand you get your strip light from. As you'll expect, strips from Govee will be more priced than Tenimiro's.
UL, ETL, and CE are the most common certifications for LED strips. For sure, UL and ETL are better than CE.
Pipe casing: Pipe casing is expensive because it's more corrosive than glue cover.
Glue cover: Glue casing is more expensive because it is less prone to corrosiveness than pipe casing.
LED strip cover processing is majorly to provide waterproof. Therefore, "Glue cover" is better than "Pipe casing".
Certification of drivers. Of course, good certification will higher cost.
The common certification for drivers are:
UL: UL is a global safety certification organization that runs safety tests on electrical appliances and equipment safety requirements.
ETL: ETL is the standard testing for appliances in North America and Canada. the certification comes from Intertek’s Electrical Testing Labs, and it is a certification for devices that have set safety standards.
CE: CE certification is a European Certification body that tests equipment in Europe and certifies them for safety use.
Power of driver. The higher power driver will more expensive. The power of the driver depends on the power of the LED strip.
Waterproof (Waterproof is more expensive than non-waterproof)
Brands of Driver:
Philips Xitanium LED Driver
Osram LED Driver
Lutron LED Driver
Texas Instruments LED Driver
Inventronics LED Driver
Meanwell
Depending on the brand of the driver, their prices will vary. Clearly, Philips xitanium LED drivers will be more expensive than inventories LED drivers.
Normal standard (non-waterproof): LED mirrors without waterproofing are less expensive than those with waterproofing.
IP44 standard or higher standard: Ip44 mirrors are more expensive than normal standard mirrors.
With or without a backplate:
Metal back plate: They are more priced than MDF backplates in the store. The UL and ETL rule is that the whole LED mirror must be covered by metal, The cable and electrical parts must not be seen.
PVC back plate: PVC backplates are more expensive than other backplates.
MDF back plate: MDF cracks and splits easily, and it absorbs water faster than wood. Therefore, they're worse than metal and PVC.
Metal box: Metal box waterproof boxes are more durable than plastic boxes. Therefore they're more expensive. So, you'll be spending more if you purchase a LED mirror with a metal waterproof box. UL/ETL rule is that the whole mirror must be covered by metal.
Plastic box: Plastic boxes on the other hand are durable but not as durable as metal boxes. Therefore, they cost less. You can store a LED mirror in a plastic box.
Certifications are enabling proof of identification to verify the integrity and originality of electronic products. There are different types of accreditation, and they border on world regions. So, a certification in a country will be different from one another.
Before we talk about three certification types, we must define certification for a mirror as a whole and certification for mirror parts.
A whole mirror certification is the standard identification given to the mirror overall to have met legal safety requirements in a country.
Mirror parts certifications are given to different parts of the mirror individually to function separately. The difference between mirror and mirror parts certification is that different companies can provide that mirror part certification, but a company gives mirror certification.
The North American area (the USA and Canada)need UL/ETL certification for LED mirror products. Commercial projects such as hotels, hospitals, shopping malls, apartments, office buildings, etc. must request UL/ETL for the whole mirror. Residential needs do not request for UL/ETL for the whole mirror, but certification for electronic parts is still necessary.
For another country, please according to the local certification requirements, general CE certification is ok if no special requirements.
UL: UL is a global safety certification organization that runs safety tests on electrical appliances and equipment safety requirements.
ETL: ETL is the standard testing for appliances in North America and Canada. And it is a certification for devices that have set safety standards.
CE: CE certification is a European Certification body that tests equipment in Europe and certifies them for safety use.
Wire length: The bigger the mirror, the longer the wire length. Invariably, the higher the cost of the mirror.
Certification or not: Certified wires are more expensive than Non-certified wires.
2 pin or 3 pins: 3-pin plugs handle currents better. Therefore, they're more expensive than 2 pin-plugs.
Certification or not: Certified plugs are more expensive than non-certified ones and but manufacturers are generally equipped with the relevant certification of the wire.
This point is little effect, but indeed a factor. More screws mean extra cost. Depending on the size of the mirror, the number of screws will vary.
Cartons are there for the comfortable transport of fragile materials. Depending on the type of materials, cartons differ. Commonly, honeycomb boxes are the boxes for transporting mirrors. As you’ll expect, the bigger the mirror, the bigger the box. Consequently, the higher the price.
As manufacturers, we prefer large orders because they mean better production and the price we quote will be more favorable.
There you have it! The factors that affect LED mirror cost.
We as manufacturers have carefully highlighted some factors that affect the cost of LED mirror. Some of which are the surface treatment, certification and structures of LED mirror. Mirror design and function also affect the cost of LED mirror.
In all, we do not undermine the roles of a contractor in creating clear glass LED mirrors. Employing the services of a LED mirror contractor will help with designing and shipping your mirror safely.
Meta description: Choosing the best-LED mirror for your bathroom remodeling project can be a daunting process. LED mirrors can be expensive, and most have different features that you will have to consider and figure out which ones will suit your needs.
