Polished Nickel bathroom fixtures are \"taking over\".  Becoming more popular daily, Polished Nickel is similar to a shiny Chromium finish, but not exactly the same.  Nickel is warmer in tone than chrome.  Held next to each other, it becomes clear that the nickel finish is not as \"blue\" as chrome - not to say that chrome is actually blue.  Polished Nickel subtly adds a warmer tone to a bathroom without being obvious.  Also, BTW, Polished Nickel closely matches the look of Stainless Steel and makes an excellent companion where Stainless Steel items are visible.\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 944-2 Series 5x Hardwired LED Round wall-mounted makeup mirror gives you a flawless image. The 3-position switch changes as follows:  3,500k - Off - 5,600k. The 3,500k temperature setting produces light very, very similar to regular light bulbs, while the 5,500k temperature setting produces light very similar to blue-sky white daylight.  Both color temperatures are equally as bright at 475 Lumens. The silver-backed mirror lens has 5x magnification and the mirror can extend up to 12.8\" from the wall - more than adequate to give you a close-up view over even 24\" vanity tops (and most vanities are 18\" deep). The mirror pivots at the elbow, pivots on axis and tilts up and down for the perfect view.   Finished in Polished Nickel.  \n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOther Finishes\u003c\/b\u003e: \n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kimball-young-1-sided-2-color-led-5x-hardwired-makeup-mirror-polished-chrome\"\u003ePolished Chrome\u003c\/a\u003e  |  \n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kimball-young-1-sided-2-color-led-5x-hardwired-makeup-mirror-matte-black\"\u003eMatte Black\u003c\/a\u003e  |  \n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kimball-young-1-sided-2-color-led-5x-hardwired-makeup-mirror-brushed-nickel\"\u003eBrushed Nickel\u003c\/a\u003e  |  \n\u003ca href=\"\/products\/kimball-young-1-sided-2-color-led-5x-hardwired-makeup-mirror-brushed-brass\"\u003eBrushed Brass\u003c\/a\u003e\n\n\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nIf you need a \u003cb\u003ereversible\u003c\/b\u003e makeup mirror with lights (5x\/1x) check this out \u003ca href=\"\/products\/hardwired-5x1x-reversible-makeup-mirror-3500k5500k-leds-polished-nickel-kimball-young\"\u003ePolished Nickel Kimball \u0026amp; Young \u003cb\u003e945 Series\u003c\/b\u003e Makeup Mirror\u003c\/a\u003e.      \n                                                                                      \n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left; font-weight:bold; display:flex; align-items:center; gap:8px;\"\u003e\n  Installation Instructions  \n  \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/images.perfectmakeupmirrors.com\/tab_pdfs\/KY-944-Installation-Instructions.pdf\" target=\"about_blank\"\u003e\n    \u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.perfectmakeupmirrors.com\/58152ed4548f2.png\" title=\"installation instructions\" alt=\"945 Installation Instructions\" style=\"vertical-align:middle;\"\u003e\n  \u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch5\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h5\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"product_features\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTop quality Kimball \u0026amp; Young Hardwired makeup mirror is single-sideed with 5x Magnification power.

Most people are surprised to find how strong that might be.  Most cosmetic-counter mirrors have 3x or 5x magnification power, but our most popular magnification power is 5x.  Indeed if you have vision problems or you have particularly critical tasks to accomplish, then go for the higher magnification mirrors - we have some up to 15x magnification.  (To give you a basis of comparison, a jeweler's loop is 10x power.) \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eFactors other than the magnification itself affect the quality of the image you see.   The size of the mirror is an important factor.  When two mirrors with the same magnification are compared, the larger size mirror always wins - both for image clarity and freedom from distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTilt and Swivel:\u003c\/strong\u003e Every wall mounted mirror we carry both tilts and swivels.   Swivel is usually 360° or close to it.   Tilt is usually 15° up or down - sometimes more.   A double-arm wall-mounted mirror has more capability than a single-arm mirror because in addition to rotating at the mirror pivot, you can also rotate through 360° or almost, at the elbow. \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDistortion\u003c\/strong\u003e:  All magnification-mirrors distort the image.   If they didn't, they wouldn't magnify anything.   The reason for this is that the mirrors magnify by using bent glass to form a sort of lens which does the magnification.   The larger the magnification, the greater the bend in the glass and the greater the distortion.   The center portion of the mirror, at any magnification level, always has the least distortion.   In a larger mirror, the absolute size of the center section is relatively larger, and therefore the area of least distortion is larger.   This is the main reason a larger mirror is preferable. \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExpensive Mirrors: \u003c\/strong\u003eAll of our mirrors are high quality mirrors, usually better quality than those found in big-box stores; both for image and finish.  But some of our mirrors are dramatically more expensive than others.  The reasons are manifold.  The \"expensive\" mirrors have silver-backed glass forming the image, rather than aluminum-backed glass.   The larger mirror sizes of the more expensive mirrors are much more difficult to produce correctly but once you've seen the difference in the larger image it's hard to go back.   The plating on our \u003cstrong\u003eMiroir Brot \u003c\/strong\u003e mirrors is thick and perfect, as is the finish itself - tiny imperfections are simply not present.   Lastly, the expensive-mirror frames themselves are solid brass or triple-plated steel and heavily built - as these mirrors are often used in hotels and need to be able to take abuse.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFluorescent, Incandescent, or LED\u003c\/strong\u003e:  The long and the short of this is that it's what you prefer that counts.   All of our fluorescent-lighted or LED mirrors are so noted. \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eOur mirrors use only color-corrected fluorescent lamps and LED lamps, which approximate daylight or indoor lighting - your choice in most cases.  They do not have the green tinge of commercial indoor fluorescent lighting - which people find objectionable.  (See full explanation below.)  Even so, daylight is not always preferable.  Light from incandescent lighting or \"regular\" light bulbs usually used indoors, is often preferred by many. \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eA feature of modern fluorescent lamps is that greatly reduced wattage produces light output perhaps four times the wattage consumed - and the lamps stay cool.    LED lamps consume even less electricity, stay cooler and last 50,000 hours on average.  That's 6 years of continuous usage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eLighting color is measured in degrees Kelvin.  Running through the spectrum, the higher the Kelvin temperature, the closer to pure white light.  The light on bright sunny day with blue sky measures 5,600° Kelvin.   A very bright day with a cloud-covered sky weighs in at 6,000° Kelvin.  An incandescent (regular) bulb gives off light at approximately 3,200°  Kelvin.   This is quite yellow, as evidenced by photographs taken by lamp-light.  But our eyes are used to the color and in most circumstances it looks normal if not pleasing.   By contrast, most fluorescent lighting is a color called \"cool white\" used because it is the cheapest color to produce.  Cool-white is 4,600°  Kelvin and definitely green.  Any photo taken under cool-whites looks green to the viewer.   A color-corrected fluorescent used in our mirrors usually run  between 5,000° and 5,400°  Kelvin, and approximates blue-sky daylight.   The closer to daylight color the more expensive the bulb.   \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003eSo where does this leave us?   With the exception of cool-white fluorescent, most people find color-corrected fluorescent lamps and most LEDs agreeable, as they do regular incandescent lamps - it's purely a matter of preference. \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch on Base:\u003c\/strong\u003e Putting a switch on the electrical cord is the cheapest way to include a switch. 99% of our makeup mirrors do not have a switch on the cord - but have a switch on the base or mounting plate of the mirror.\u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardwired Mirrors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hardwired mirrors are intended to be installed by a licensed electrician and connected to the house wiring.   All of our hardwired mirrors are marked \"HARDWIRED\" on the website.   Also, all of our hardwired mirrors have a switch on the mirror itself, so your electrician need not install a separate switch. \u003c\/p\u003e\n      \u003cbr\u003e\n      \u003cp align=\"left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eElectrician's instructions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n        \n\t\t\u003cul style=\"width:540px;padding-left:39px;list-style-type:disc\"\u003e\n\t\t\n\t\t\u003cli\u003eAll of our hardwired mirrors have the switch on the base or on the mounting plate.
