How To Wire Led Mirror Vanity Light

Jun 11, 2024

If there is an outlet behind the mirror and that outlet is connected to a wall switch, you have two options:

You can simply remove the outlet from the wiring in the junction box and connect the mirror directly to the wiring connected to the outlet.
If you do not want to remove the outlet from the existing circuit wiring, you can purchase a standard lighting replacement cord with a flat "plug", connect it to the mirror wiring, and then plug the mirror into the outlet. See the image below, where you can purchase this product. If you do not want to spend so much money, you can purchase a standard indoor extension cord at any hardware or home improvement store (make sure it has a flat plug), then cut one end of the cord and strip the wires to connect to your LED mirror.


If there is standard Romex lighting circuit wiring behind the mirror, but it is not connected to a wall switch, you have the following options:

If your LED mirror is a front-lit rectangular mirror, most mirrors have a switch pre-installed on the bottom, so you do not need to connect the mirror to the wall switch. If your front-lit mirror does not include a switch, we can install one before shipping (if you purchase the switch upgrade). Our LED medicine cabinets also include pre-installed switches.

 

Please note: our side-lit rectangular mirrors and most oval and round LED mirrors cannot be installed with a switch.

If you are unsure if your LED mirror has a switch, please check the detail page for the product you are viewing and contact us to confirm.
You can purchase a remote control dimmer/switch upgrade. This upgrade allows you to turn the LED mirror lighting on or off, and also dim the LED lighting without having to run wires to a wall switch.
