What You’ll Need

Before installation, these tools must be prepared!

  • MOVO LED bathroom mirror (Remember to turn it on and check after delivery by courier)
  • Electric drill (Required for drilling)
  • Level (To ensure the mirror is on the horizontal line)
  • Screwdriver set Measuring tape
  • Pencils (for marking)
  • Expansion screws (usually included when buying mirrors)
  • Gloves + goggles (to protect yourself)
  • Wire strippers (needed for wiring)
  • Waterproof sealant (recommended for damp bathrooms)

Note: If you have never touched electrical wires before, please find a qualified electrician to do the wiring for you!

 

Step 1: Open the Box for Inspection

When opening the package, handle it with care! Please carefully check the following points:

  • Is there any crack or obvious scratch on the surface of the mirror?
  • Are all the accessories complete? Including screws, brackets and the instruction manual.
  • Confirm whether it is a plug-in model or a hard-wired model that requires wiring.
  • If delivery is made in winter, it is recommended to let the mirror stay indoors for a while before installation to prevent internal condensation.

This is also the first step in “How to Install LED Bathroom Mirror”, and it’s extremely crucial!

Step 2: Select the Appropriate Location

The most ideal position for installing an LED bathroom mirror is:

  • Directly above the sink or the bathroom cabinet
  • At a moderate height, approximately at the eye level (about 1.5 meters from the ground, centered in the mirror)
  • It would be best if there were power sockets nearby.
  • Try to stay away from places that are prone to getting wet.

Tips: First, use masking tape to mark the size of the mirror on the wall. Observe the effect before proceeding with the formal installation!

 

Step 3: Measure and Mark the Position

  • First, find the center point of the sink and make a mark with a pencil.
  • Measure the installation height of the mirror and mark the upper and lower edges.
  • Take out a mirror or a stand for comparison, and mark the positions where holes need to be drilled.

Don’t forget to calibrate with a level ruler! This is a very important step in the installation of the LED bathroom mirror. Installing it crooked will affect the overall appearance.

Step 3 Measure and Mark the Position

 

Step 4: Drilling and Fixing

  • Drill holes at the marked positions using an electric drill (if it’s a tiled wall, remember to use a special glass drill bit)
  • Non-load-bearing walls must be filled with expansion pipes.
  • First, gently screw in the screw, leaving some space to hang the mirror.

Note: The LED bathroom mirror is much heavier than a regular mirror. Make sure it is securely installed!

Step 4: Drilling and Fixing

 

Step 5: Wiring (Special attention required for hard-wired models)

Please note: This step must be performed after the main power switch has been turned off! Safety comes first!

  • Extricate the wires within the wall through the wiring hole behind the mirror.
  • Correctly distinguish the live wire (black), neutral wire (white) and ground wire (green), and connect them accordingly
  • After tightening with the connector, gently push the wire back into the wall.
  • After confirming that all connections are correct, turn on the power for testing.

If it’s a plug-in model, it’s much simpler. Just hang the mirror and plug it in the socket. This is also the most meticulous step in the “how to install LED bathroom mirror” process.

 

Step 6: Install the Mirror

  • Hold the mirror with both hands and align it with the support or screw position.
  • Hang it smoothly and fine-tune it to the appropriate position.
  • Use a level ruler to recheck whether the installation is level.

Important Notice: For models without frames or in humid environments, it is recommended to apply a一圈 waterproof sealant on the back of the mirror for greater durability.

 

Step 7: Test the Functions

The most anticipated part is here!

  • Turn on the switch and test if the lights are functioning properly.
  • If it has a dimming function, try adjusting the brightness and color temperature.
  • Test whether the defogging function is working properly
  • If it’s an intelligent model, you can connect it to Bluetooth to have a try.
  • Here, your LED bathroom mirror installation is basically complete!

If you encounter any problems, don’t panic. First, refer to the manual or check if the wiring connections are secure.

 

Step 8: Clean and Finish

Use a soft, dry cloth or glass cleaner to wipe off any fingerprints or dust. Do not spray directly onto the mirror — spray the cloth first to avoid liquid getting into the edges.

Enjoy your newly upgraded bathroom!

Maintenance Tips: Keep Your Smart Mirror Looking Brand New for a Long Time

Do you want your MOVO LED bathroom mirror to remain in top condition for a long time? Then be sure to save these practical maintenance suggestions:

  • First of all, the fundamental guarantee for the long-term stable use of LED bathroom mirrors: Pay attention to electrical safety. Try not to let the power supply of the mirror share the same socket as other high-power electrical appliances, to avoid overloading of the circuit.
  • During daily cleaning, a gentle cleaning method is the key to extending the lifespan of the mirror: remember to use a soft cotton cloth or ultra-fine fiber cloth to wipe the mirror surface. Do not use strong cleaning agents containing abrasives, as this may scratch the mirror surface or damage the LED light strips on the back.
  • If the model you choose has the anti-fog function, which reduces water vapor condensation to effectively protect the coating on the mirror and keep the mirror surface clear for a long time, we suggest you turn it on before taking a bath.
  • For users who have chosen the hard-wired connection installation, we would like to add a reminder: It is advisable to have professionals or conduct an inspection yourself once a year to check the firmness of the power connection points, ensuring a safe and worry-free power supply.
