Illuminated table mirror: features of choice

Some ladies consider a folding small mirror a very convenient item. It is always at hand. You can get it at any time and easily remove it. But compared to a desktop mirror designed for home use, pocket mobility is almost the only advantage. In order to really make out your face in reflection and neatly apply makeup, it is better to use a desktop device that has a backlight. In addition, it can become an excellent decoration of the interior.

Mirror mirror discord. These items vary depending on where they should be located. It may be a wall accessory with lighting. Universal - you can hang it on the wall and put it in front of you. It is also convenient to take with you on the road.

But such instances are expensive, so many women prefer to put a special table mirror on the table in the room. Such an item is clearly fixed in place or has a mobile stand.

Use it mainly for makeup. A cosmetic mirror is often equipped with a function of magnification and rotation, making it convenient to paint, immediately noticing all the make-up flaws.

This device is convenient to carry from place to place not only within the apartment. It is also quite suitable for trips.

An alternative to an accessory on a leg can be using the built-in with the zoom function, which is “implanted” in a large stationary mirror on the dressing table.With this mirror piece you can see details that are difficult to see in high reflection. Plucking eyebrows, correcting makeup, relying on the “testimonies” of the magnifying fragment, and immediately looking at yourself in a large mirror is also convenient.

Backlighting is an important part of using a mirror, especially if its main function is to make the housewife comfortable to apply makeup. You can solve the lighting problem cheaply and angrily by installing a lamp next to it on the table. Sometimes for a dressing table arrange special lighting. But to use the accessory with bulbs that are built directly into the mirror itself is much more convenient.

For illumination, different light sources are used:

• Incandescent lamps. They are supplied with cheap mirrors. These sources of illumination are not among the most reliable, and recently, this kind of illumination is losing its popularity.
• Halogen. They will last ten times longer than incandescent lamps. They can be used in conditions of high humidity, for example, in the bathroom.

• Luminescent. The light of these lamps is similar to daylight. But from such lighting, the eyes quickly get tired, as it is accompanied by flicker.
• LED (LED). Today it is the most reliable light source in mirrors. It is no accident that such items with LED backlighting are the most common. These lamps serve for a long time, give high-quality lighting and look beautiful.

The shape of the mirror can be round, square or, for example, a diamond-shaped, while large or small. There are accessories on the leg, or mounted on the wall near the table in any convenient place. Many women cannot imagine a desktop copy without a magnifying effect.

There are accessories with a magnification from 2x to 10x. For household use, a magnifying mirror is enough, which makes the reflection more than two or three times. The enlargement coefficient of 8-10 times is needed only for professional use.

The kit with a mirror, in addition to the device itself, can include lamps, for small and portable models - batteries. Brackets and cases are often required additions.

The choice of a desktop accessory depends on how it is supposed to be used. To do this, you should draw a number of conclusions for yourself:

• whether he will be transferred from room to room or will occupy a very specific place in the house;
• will travel with you;
• whether it will be used only for applying makeup, or it will have to be used when plucking eyebrows, when cleaning the skin, shaving, and so on.

On the market there are mirrors made using wood, aluminum, chrome steel, ivory, silver and gold. There is always a choice: to prefer a modest mirror or an expensive, rich-looking specimen. You can choose a model with amalgam, silver, titanium, aluminum and copper plating.

For ordinary inexpensive mirrors with backlight, an amalgam coating is used, which does not withstand moisture very well. Titanium shows itself as more persistent. Mirror with him is not scared to take a rest.

The best “image” can be obtained with a combination of aluminum and copper, and especially when the silver coating. Such mirrors can be kept in the bathroom. Their service life is very long.

Some models have a mechanism that allows you to rotate the mirror 90, 180 or even 360 degrees. A two-sided subject makes it possible to see real reflection and magnified.

Many modern accessories have completely turned into multifunctional high-tech devices. They communicate with the phone, can activate the backlight, responding to the approach of a person, are controlled by voice, have a timer that can give a signal in time, for example, that it is worth hurrying with makeup, otherwise you can be late for work or an event.
