Smart Bathroom Tech...Did You Know?
When it comes to bathroom cabinets and mirrors, we don't usually think of them as being technologically sophisticated. They are simple cabinets with mirrored doors - what more do you need from them? Well, you might be surprised. Cabinets from Light Mirrors incorporate a surprising amount of new technology that you probably didn't know you needed. They offer a range of premium functions that add a touch of genuine luxury to your bathroom and make them truly stand out from ordinary bathroom cabinets.
Some features include extra bright energy-efficient LEDs, while some even include Bluetooth connectivity so you can listen to your favourite songs while you bathe or shower. With smart bathroom tech in your cabinets, you can bring a previously low-tech product into the 21st-century. Let's take a look at how intelligent bathroom cabinets can make your life easier and more fun.
LED Technology
LED bathroom cabinets come with a wide range of light positioning and brightness options. The power-saving technology of LED lighting means you will never be consuming a large amount of energy, and you can illuminate the room and your face to enhance the experience in your bathroom. Lighting is an integral part of the modern bathroom mirror, but bright, white light doesn't have to consume a ridiculous amount of energy.
Ambient Under Cabinet Lighting
The light from your bathroom cabinet doesn't always need to be dazzling and bright. Sometimes what's needed is a soft, stylish light to create a relaxing ambience that nevertheless enables you to see what you're doing. Ambient bathroom lighting cabinets usually provide that all-important bright light when it's needed, but they also include a second, gentler set of lights on the underside of the cabinet. This is excellent for illuminating the taps and countertop. We have a vast collection of these types of cabinet for you to explore.
De-misting Technology
Bathroom mirror de-mister technology works similar to the system on the rear window of your car. There is a heated pad inside the mirror, which is activated when you power up the mirror. By heating the glass, you won't get that build-up of condensation that occurs when you have a shower or a bath. You'll be able to see yourself perfectly, and it won't consume an excessive amount of energy keeping your mirror clear. The de-mister deactivates when you turn off the cabinet lights, so it's simple to operate but highly effective.
Shaver Sockets
A mirror covered in condensation makes it very difficult for men to shave. If you have a mirror with de-mister technology, you might also want it to include a built-in shaver socket. These modern, smart bathroom cabinets are about more than merely storing your toiletries. They need to provide the ultimate in luxury and convenience for users, and you can get cabinets with dedicated shaver sockets built into the storage area. This enables you to charge your electric shaver while it's stored away inside the cabinet, ready for you to use when you need it.
Power Sensors
Having to flick a switch or pull a cord to activate your bathroom mirror light is so 20th-century. Our mirrors feature contactless, infrared power sensors that enable you to turn your cabinet lights (and the de-mister) on and off without having to touch anything. The motion-sensing technology means you simply have to wave your hand around 3-6 inches away from the power sensor, and you activate those electrical functions of your cabinet with ease.
Bluetooth Audio Connectivity
We have already established that the modern bathroom cabinet is more than a storage solution and mirror. But it's also more than a lighting solution with a bunch of extra convenience features built-in - it can now be a high-quality audio speaker, complete with Bluetooth connectivity. This is a revolutionary way to enjoy a great sonic experience in your bathroom, whatever you're doing. Whether you're taking a long, relaxing soak in the bathtub or trying to raise your energy levels in the shower before a long day at work, having a soundtrack will always enhance the experience significantly.
The Bluetooth speakers in these cabinets are water-resistant, with excellent sound quality and easily connect to your mobile devices - the perfect way to bring your music into your bathroom with you.
Colour-Change Lighting
If you turn to your bath for the ultimate relaxing experience, a little ambient lighting can be a powerful way to change the feel of a room. Picture this: you've filled a warm, bubbly bath and lit some candles. Perhaps you have an oil burner with a scent of lavender. You start your favourite music through your cabinet's built-in BlueTooth speaker, and you're ready to get into the tub. Why not add a soft glow in your favourite colour from the cabinet's colour-changing lighting system?
The colour of a room's lighting can have an impact on your mood, and it can also complement your interior decor or create a sense of style and refinement. Our bathroom cabinets with colour change lighting harness energy-efficient LED technology that offers a wide range of programmable colours. Take a look at our selection of bathroom cabinets that feature colour-change lights - you may find something that adds the finishing touch to your ideal bathroom experience.
