The illuminated glass sidewalls create a halo effect while the lighted \"frame\" provides plenty of light for the user. The LEDs are rated at 30,000 hours, and have a color temperature of 2,600k - 2,800k, Warm White, with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 90+.  The mirror conforms to ADA guidelines and is suitable for damp locations such as the bathroom.  It is also ETL listed.  The light output is very bright at 4230 Lumens or 4950 Lumens, depending on the mirror size.  Electrical consumption is small, at 51 Watts or 59 Watts, again depending on the mirror size.  This is a hardwired mirror and requires an on-off switch.  It is non-dimmable.\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product_features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Forte mirror by Aamsco has illuminated glass sidewalls that create a halo effect around the mirror.

In the suburbs of New York City, their original vintage lighting company was formed by Bob Rosenzweig to manufacture antique light bulbs.  With Bob's creativity, Aamsco began expanding and moved to New Jersy, and ultimately in 2001 relocated to Summerville, South Carolina where Aamsco continues to grow to this day.\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\"\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003e3,500k vs. 5,500k\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align:center;margin-top:35px\"\u003eColor Temperature Comparison\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"color temperature thermometer\" src=\"https:\/\/images.perfectmakeupmirrors.com\/590f3cd791e3f.jpg\" style=\"float:right;margin:0 25px 15px 15px\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"float:left;width:490px;margin:10px 0 0 15px\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColor Temperature is not Brightness\u003c\/strong\u003e Color temperature describes the color of the light.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe color temperature of any light bulb, including LEDs is measured in degrees Kelvin (\"k\").  The higher the color temperature, the closer the light is to pure white light at 10,000° K.  A blue sky sunny day at noon has a color temperature of about 5,500° K.  On a very bright cloud-covered day, the sky registers a color temperature closer to white, of about 6,500° K., while a \"regular\" incandescent light bulb has a color temperature of about 2,700° K.  \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe color temperature of the lighting in your mirror may affect the way you apply your makeup and then how it's viewed by others, in a real-life situation.  It's best, therefore, to choose a lighted makeup mirror with a color temperature to approximate your most frequent environment.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany of our LED mirrors have their color temperature specified. And some makeup mirrors have adjustable or switchable color temperatures.  For those where color temperature is not specified a reasonable guide is this:  For incandescent bulbs, a color temperature of around 3,000° K. is normal. LEDs with no color temperature specification often have color temperatures around 4,000° K.  The chart at right can serve as a guide.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf you're planning for an outdoor day, the higher the color temperature the better.  For evenings on the town, 2,700\u0026amp;deb; K. to 3,500° K. is best.  For office environment lighting conditions, color temperatures around 4,500° K. provide the closest match.\n\u003cimg alt=\"Color Temperature explained\" src=\"https:\/\/images.perfectmakeupmirrors.com\/590f33a5331fb.jpg\" style=\"width:100%\"\u003e\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\"\u003e\n\n\u003ch5\u003eAbout CRI\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align:center\"\u003eColor Rendering Index (CRI)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cimg alt=\"CRI Comparison photos\" src=\"https:\/\/images.perfectmakeupmirrors.com\/5ea4c0cbd2ca9.jpg\" style=\"float:right;margin-right:70px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"float:left;max-width:55%;margin:60px 0 0 35px\"\u003e\nThe color rendering index (CRI) is a measure of the ability of a light source to display the colors of various objects faithfully when compared the a natural light source. Light sources with a high CRI value are desirable in color-critical applications such as neonatal care and art restoration. Generally the higher the CRI, the more pleasing to the eye.  \n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe highest possible CRI value is 100 and is frequently achieved by incandescent or \"regular\" light bulbs. Fluorescent \"cool white\" bulbs have a CRI of around 50 to 60, but some high-end multi-phosphor fluorescents can go up to 98.  LEDs typically have an a CRI around 80, and better, more expensive LEDs can have CRIs up to 97 or 98.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr clear=\"all\"\u003e\n","brand":"Aamsco","offers":[{"title":"23.60\" x 31.49\"","offer_id":50367793266992,"sku":"AAFORTE-8060","price":897.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"31.49\" x 31.49\"","offer_id":50351957770544,"sku":"AAFORTE-8080","price":977.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0731\/5646\/0848\/files\/5ef65e4b8f1ee.jpg?v=1788005409","url":"https:\/\/www.perfectmakeupmirrors.com\/products\/forte-led-backlit-mirror-illuminated-sides-aamsco","provider":"Perfect Makeup Mirrors","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
