LED Lighting
At Clearlight Designs, we offer some of the most advanced LED lighting solutions in the industry. Every one of our Lighted Mirrors comes standard with premium LED lights — no upgrades needed.
We’ve carefully sourced and selected top-of-the-line LEDs to ensure exceptional brightness, longevity, and performance. Each mirror is thoroughly tested and quality-checked before it leaves our facility, guaranteeing the highest standard of craftsmanship with every order.
Colour Rendering Index (CRI)
CRI stands for Colour Rendering Index — a measure of how accurately a light source displays true colours, compared to natural sunlight. It’s rated on a scale from 0 to 100, with higher numbers indicating more precise colour representation.
This is especially important for tasks like makeup application, grooming, and interior design, where colour accuracy is key.
While many lighted mirrors on the market use fluorescent tubes with low CRIs around 50, or standard LEDs with CRIs of 80, Clearlight Designs leads the way with high-performance LEDs rated at 90+ CRI.
This means our mirrors produce exceptionally natural and accurate lighting, allowing you to see true-to-life colour and detail — every time.
The lifespan of the LEDs
LED lifespan is measured in hours, and while the brightness (lumen output) does gradually decrease over time, the decline is extremely slow.
At Clearlight Designs, we use premium-grade LEDs with an impressive lifespan of over 70,000 hours. That’s equivalent to running the lights for 8 hours a day, every day, for more than 20 years.
We’re proud to lead the industry with some of the longest-lasting LED lights available. And in the rare event the LEDs stop working, they can be easily replaced — ensuring your mirror continues to shine for years to come.
LED Temperature (Colour Temperature)
Our standard and most popular LED option is Natural Daylight (4000K) — the ideal lighting for tasks like makeup application, offering a clear and accurate reflection. This is the default option and is featured in all product photos unless stated otherwise.
We also offer an optional Warm White (3000K) for those who prefer a softer, more ambient glow.
Colour temperature is measured in Kelvins (K) — a standard scale used to describe the warmth or coolness of light. In simple terms, the lower the Kelvin number, the warmer (more yellow) the light; the higher the number, the cooler (more white or blue) the light.
If you’re unsure which colour temperature is right for you, we recommend visiting your local lighting store — most have LED displays showing the difference between various colour temperatures.
Brightness
Our mirrors use 5050 LEDs, powered by a 12V DC transformer for safe and efficient performance.
Each LED chip produces 20 lumens, delivering a total light output of 1,200 lumens per metre. Both our Natural Daylight (4000K) and Warm White (3000K) options have a power consumption of 14.4 watts per metre, providing bright, energy-efficient lighting.
