I've been wanting to get a bathroom mirror that has built-in LED lights, but with so many options online, it's hard to figure out which ones are actually worth it. It seems like most of them are low quality and just look like they all come from the same factory. I'm curious if anyone has recommendations for brands that are reliable, or if I should just stick to a more traditional setup with separate light fixtures above the mirror. Also, are there brands that are known for honoring their warranties?

As someone who has installed a lot of these mirrors, I've seen both cheap and pricier options, and honestly, there's not much difference when it comes to the actual lighting and electrical side. Just find a style you like and check online reviews—especially the negative ones. If you want more peace of mind, try buying from a physical store so you can check the LED quality in person and be sure to get a good warranty if anything goes wrong.
I'd also suggest looking for mirrors that are UL or ETL rated. It’s a big investment, and you don't want something that could be a safety risk or fail quickly. We installed UL-rated lights in our house, and I really wish we had done the same for a cheap LED fixture we picked up; it's hard to replace and has been giving us issues.
