How do I install ?
Luckily, the makeup mirror installation process is super easy. If your new mirror is freestanding or you want to adorn it on your makeup table, place your mirror in the matching stand that comes with your purchase, and you're good to go!
However, if you prefer to hang your new mirror on the wall, then you will need to ensure it's fixed properly.
First, you need to decide whether you wish to hang your mirror portrait or landscape style (some of our mirrors go in one orientation, so please check beforehand).
We recommend placing your mirror landscape style in large spaces and portrait style in smaller areas. A screw attachment is ideal, so your Hollywood makeup mirror is securely attached to the wall. In this case, use a spirit level to ensure it is going to hang correctly.
Next, lightly mark the top corners of the mirror with a pencil on the wall. Halfway between these two points, make a light mark on the wall (it's best to measure this precisely).
At the back, pull the cord taut, measure the top of the frame to the cord. Place this measurement on the wall by working down from the central measurement. This mark is where you'll place your hook to hang your lighted mirror.
Drill a hole into the wall and push the wall plug into it. Screw this into place, leaving a few millimetres at the end so the fixings can hook on over the screw head.
Alternatively, if you're working with a hollow wall, you'll need to use a carpenter's awl in the wall to determine if the section is hollow or contains a timber stud. If you have a timber stud, you can insert the screw directly into space and hang your picture. If it's hollow, you'll need to insert a spiral plug. Place a screw into the plug and make sure you have a tight fit.
Hang your Mirror. Finally, double-check your glamour mirror is level by using a spirit level. All our LED vanity mirrors come with a three-pin plug and our tri fold and travel models a usb cable to charge it, but if you prefer to hardwire the mirror into the mains, you will need to contact an electrician.
