How to Install an LED Mirror - BOKIHUK BATHROOM MIRROR

[@audriscarborough9309]

Thanks so much for making this video! I have a mirror very similar. I ordered it from Amazon 3 weeks ago. I know how to hang a bathroom sconce light and was worried this light was going to be very different from that. Yes, I am a very basic DIY homeowner. Also, several years older than the people who already knew you can learn anything from KZbin! It does take someone who teaches skills well! That is much more difficult than all the rest! You gave great, easy to understand and practical directions along with showing the work! Sincerely, Audri

[@MDCHOMES]

Thank you so much! Glad I could help. 👍

[@larondiealpha7807]

looks fantastic, instantly made it a 2023 bathroom. very modern and neat.

[@MDCHOMES]

Thank you and thanks for watching 👍

[@bexaminer1]

I wondered. Could you have simply cut the plug off and wired it with the barre wires?

[@MDCHOMES]

Yes. These can be wired directly. On most models it will likely void warranty on mirror. But if that’s not a concern you can definitely make it work that way.

[@no_clot_shot1128]

I keep coming back to your videos. It's really amazing how you people manage to make those plywood sheds, the rest of the world gave up on ages ago, look so amazing on the inside. Good job. 👍

[@MDCHOMES]

Thanks so much for coming back to watch.

[@levi0596]

This is a very informative and detailed video. I will save this for reference. Thank you. 😊

[@MDCHOMES]

Thanks so much. Glad I could help 👍

[@spursla1]

I bought this mirror for my new bathroom in Nov 22. I'm so pleased with it, even if it was a little pricey. Fortunately, the guys that did my bathroom fitted it for me, but I was glad to see your vid to find out how it was fitted. Great vid, thanks!!

[@MDCHOMES]

Thanks so much. I really like how this one turned out. Definitely will use it again in future projects. Thanks for watching 👍

[@godwinthehuge7169]

How do you turn it on? Is there a way you can use the original wall switch? I’m confused lol

[@MDCHOMES]

@godwinthehuge7169 there is a touch switch on front of mirror that turns it on and off as long as power switch on the wall is on. Once mirror is turned on you can then use wall switch to turn it on and off. Hope that helps. 👍

[@mikeybando5733]

oh hey my bday

[@lyonsc512]

You make it look soooo easy! Can't wait to install mine.

[@MDCHOMES]

Thanks so much. They make these fairly easy to install and the size we chose was relatively light and easy to manage. Hope you enjoy yours and good luck with your project 👍

[@lancemartin2478]

Simple and easily explained my guy!!

[@MDCHOMES]

Thanks so much 👍

[@PENNYLEE0649]

Jason, I so enjoyed this video. You made the install look easy. I just purchased 3 LED anti-fog mirrors for our home thanks to your tutelage. Ours will have an arched shaped top, princess style bottom and will hang in a row above a sink, make-up vanity and 2nd sink primary bath combo. I haven't yet decided if I'll add vanity light fixtures above, in between or none at all. Thanks again.

[@MDCHOMES]

So happy I could help. Good luck with your install and thank you so much for watching 👍

[@Pauli.Ivanova]

This video should be called how to hang LED mirror because the installation includes hard wiring the mirror into the box. for those who came here to look how to hardwire the mirror: simply remove the light fixture, (which you will not going to need if you have a self lighting mirror) and install the mirror wiring it into the box where the light fixture used to be hardwired. Don't need to call an electrician and most definitely don't need to have a light fixture on top of the mirror, that's an absolute redundancy and I don't even think it looks good. So again, if you have a light fixture, remove it and hang your mirror after you hardwire it into the box that is now empty, because you removed the light fixture. I hope this clarifies it for some people. Also if The mirror comes with a plug instead of a wire, just cut the plug and strip the wire which will make it ready to install hard wiring it into the box

[@jotiggins4794]

Thank you ☺️

[@Fergy172]

Thank you! I needed a sanity check before cutting the plug and was hoping to find it on this video, but you ACTUALLY answered what I thought the video was going to include. Thanks dude!

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

Great info, thanks. Question for anyone that might know. I have an old light fixture on wall on top of sink, so there is a round junction box. Most of these light mirrors come with a plug. Can I just cut the plug and hardwire it directly to existing wires? Or is there an outlet that can be install it in the round junction box? I am trying to avoid removing/replacing the round junction box for a rectangular which involves drywall repair. Thanks in advance.

[@Cryptony1975]

After cutting plug to get ready for hardwire, are the wires different colors after you strip them? How do I match them to inside wall?

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

[@MDCHOMES]

You can definitely cut and hardwire. It will void your mirrors warranty but if that’s not a big deal to you hardwiring is a viable option. As far as an outlet in the round junction box I haven’t seen a recessed one for that type. Hope that helps.

[@charlesdavis6975]

Good job Sir. , thank you. . .👍🏾

[@MDCHOMES]

Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!

[@xanthippiabrinson1282]

I stumbled across this video while trying to find a video on how to install my #toolkiss LED mirror, man oh man was this a lifesaver. Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing it, as the parts were similar and I just needed a guide to get me started.

[@MDCHOMES]

So glad I could help. Good luck with your install👍

[@marian.alex8]

Thanks for this! I just bought my first house and the bathroom didn’t have a mirror installed. However, it conveniently has a wall plug in the middle where the mirror would be

[@MDCHOMES]

Sweet. Glad I could help 👍

[@allenbuning9094]

Does it hold setting when the power is turned off?

[@MDCHOMES]

We put this in a home we were selling so I didn’t get to use it too much but we did test it a few times turning power on and off and setting stayed the same. 👍

[@loblaws1962]

Great video did you have to lower the original light box for the mirror or are they still at the same height

[@MDCHOMES]

This was a new construction so I had boxes installed low enough to be behind mirror. If this were a renovation you’d potentially have to lower them.

[@PrettyLady7282]

very nice, I'll get one for myself. Great works

[@MDCHOMES]

Glad I could help. Thanks for watching 👍

[@nagazinafireworks7594]

Thanks for sharing very informative

[@MDCHOMES]

You’re welcome. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Mcnbobby]

I’m wondering if I can use the wall power switch to turn on/off the led instead of pressing the mirror?

[@MDCHOMES]

If mirror light is on the light switch definitely turns it off. I tested a few times and it did turn it back on. Just not sure if you wait awhile if it still turns it on or if mirror shuts down completely until switch is back on. Didn’t try it after a long period to check.

[@RN-yp2yp]

Do the hanging clips need some space from wall to allow mirror to sit flat on wall if wall not quite flat have seen some with a space bottom corner of wall not flush ?

[@MDCHOMES]

Hmm. Guess it’d depend on how bad your wall actually is. Mirror laid flat on this wall no problem but it was a new house. 🤷‍♂️. Sorry I couldn’t be more help.

[@jfm562]

Very cool.

[@MDCHOMES]

Thanks👍

[@tessa7154]

I’ve been debating installing a mirror like this and your video made it seem so simple that I think I’ll do it this weekend! Thank you so much!

[@MDCHOMES]

Thanks so much and good luck with your project 👍

[@kevinriddle9829]

Will it come on with the switch or do you have to turn it on by the button on the mirror itself every time?

[@MDCHOMES]

Ours went on and off with switch if it was originally turned on on mirror.

[@VictorPaixao4fun]

Thanks for the how-to video. Nice mirror, it would be nicer if they could change their settings button to the bottom-left or right. Also, I don´t understand why these power plugs never comes in a 90 degree connector.

[@MDCHOMES]

Agreed. The plug on these are ridiculous if you intend on it being behind the mirror. Thanks so much for watching 👍

[@diesel50011]

Hi, Jason! Is this mirror bright enough to be the only light in a medium sized bathroom where part of the bathroom does not have direct line of sight to the lights?

[@MDCHOMES]

Hmmm. That’s tough to answer. It depends on your desired level of brightness really. In my opinion the mirror puts off more than enough light to replace traditional vanity lights. That being said, I feel that most bathrooms really need an additional source of light overhead. The overhead does most of the heavy lifting by flooding the room with light. The vanity or mirror light tends to provide an accessory light source that mainly helps with seeing yourself in the mirror and eliminating shadows caused by overhead lighting. Hope that helped 🤷‍♂️

[@gorillablack3125]

Great video man, i have the excact mirror. Thanks for your time

[@MDCHOMES]

Thanks for watching 👍

[@add_xtine775]

Thanks for your video, your helping me change my mother's mind on lighted mirrors.😂

[@MDCHOMES]

😂😂😂 . You’re so welcome. Glad I could help. 👍

[@Softball2030]

What brand is it? I looked and there are so many I dont which is better?

[@MDCHOMES]

This one was a bokihuk. I’ve tried several different ones since in this same price range and all worked similarly well.

[@dominicxiong4901]

Cool outlet. Might need to be a GFCI protected outlet though.

[@MDCHOMES]

Not a bad suggestion. Definitely check codes in your area. 👍

[@jazzygurl217]

Thank you for the tips!

[@MDCHOMES]

Glad I could help

[@aliyabramblett]

Are we able to use our regular bathroom outlet if it’s close enough? Do we have to buy a separate outlet plug? I have the bathroom lights that are in a row of 3 with the mirror below it

[@MDCHOMES]

It will run off any 110 outlet so you can use the one that’s already there if you don’t mind seeing the cord. You can also run it off the power going to your existing lights. Hope that helps.

[@Sunnybe3vh]

Do you have size 30x 42 or 44??? Please !!

[@RollTheTape]

Is the led mirror bright enough to light up a small bathroom? I won’t need additional lightings?

[@MDCHOMES]

Hmmm. Depends on how much light you like. I prefer to have overhead lighting as well as direct lighting like the mirror. I think if you just use the mirror the bathroom will be a little dark. If you like that darker, moody vibe, then it might be enough for you. Thanks for watching and for the comment 👍

[@Clarissasrtoro1]

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Thank you!

[@MDCHOMES]

Absolutely. Thanks for watching 👍

[@BayouHotBoy1]

So, ifnthe light goes out, can you change it or just buy another mirror?

[@MDCHOMES]

Not sure on that one. It may be possible to open the back of mirror and swap out light strip but it’s not something manufacturer lists or has parts for. Being a led light it should provide years of service for you. Some reports show 50,000 hrs of use. Hope that helps 👍

[@MWARIS1]

Great video Jason, are you happy with the mirror size? my dual vanity is pretty similar sized to yours and I feel like this may be slightly small.

[@MDCHOMES]

This was a house we built to sell so I never got to live with it but the time I spent with it before it sold we really liked the mirror and it seemed proportional to the space. Once you click the link of the mirror we used I believe there were some alternative sizes. Hope that helps 👍

[@sahadeolallbachan9102]

Thanks for sharing. Some installed a very similar mirror for me and mistakenly wired it to the existing switch for the lights above the mirror. Guess what? It kinda defeat the purpose of the using the power button on the mirror to keep that on by itself.

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

You can leave the switch on all the time, that way you can use the mirror buttons to power on/off but for me is easier to use wall switch.

[@keen510]

what I really need is the video of your electrician wiring up those boxes

[@fdggfgdfgd251]

quality video

[@MDCHOMES]

Thank you. And thanks for watching 👍

[@stellamurega6749]

But to put this mirro do I need to have electricity in the bathroom wall ?

[@MDCHOMES]

You will need an electrical source of some kind. You can either use an outlet or the source going to a vanity light.

[@bexaminer1]

Thanks.

[@MDCHOMES]

👍

[@CR-mx6tj]

Super Cool. Thx

[@MDCHOMES]

No problem. Thanks for watching 👍

[@Blackheart-hb5gs]

Better check electrical codes. GFCI needed when by water. Also GFCI hidden by mirror may be illegal. It has to be available for reset. May have to be hardwired.

[@MDCHOMES]

Good call. Our electrician did check to make sure we didn’t need a gfci and as far as our area we didn’t. Good idea to check your local code as well. 👍

[@RitaGarza-ct9mk]

I bought and installed the recessed outlet and the plug is still on the way... any ideas on how to plug it? Is it only hot wiring it?

[@barberlife806]

What size was that one you put up

[@MDCHOMES]

40x24 I believe. I left a link in description if you want to check out the one we got. 👍

[@theflat17]

How is it performing after few months.. many Amazon reviews say it stopped working after few weeks/months

[@MDCHOMES]

This was in a home we sold but new owners haven’t had an issue with it 👍

[@dianalara4879]

Great video!!! Curious… is your led mirror just a noisy?! We purchased this exact mirror and man the humming noise coming from this mirror is loud!!

[@MDCHOMES]

🤔 I didn’t hear any noise when testing ours. Given…this was installed in a spec house we were selling so I never lived with it on a daily basis. We worked in the home for several weeks after installing and never heard anything though. You might want to contact the seller to see if they’d send you a replacement. Thanks so much for watching.

[@movie3447]

What is the size of the mirror?

[@MDCHOMES]

Hmmm. Don’t really remember. Maybe 24H x 36W?

[@chrisby911]

Beautiful and you don't need those overhead vanity lights...I was going back and forth about that, but this looks sexy and sleek. Love it!!

[@MDCHOMES]

Thanks so much. We love the way they turned out. Definitely going to be using these in all our houses. Thanks for watching 👍

[@sharonfleming2776]

My anti fog mirror still fogs up. I don't know why.

[@jimdaniel9178]

😂

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

Did you find/fix the problem? Maybe turn off anti-fog option to check if gets a lot more fog.

[@jeanniet1972ify]

Why not just cut the plug off and wire directly in? Why buy a recessed outlet to plug it in? I just bought an led mirror and I can just cut the plug off and wire it in.

[@MDCHOMES]

Absolutely. You can hardwire if you like.

[@Orbit77777]

@@MDCHOMESon some brands like Andrea mirrors sold by homedepot in the directions they tell you that you can cut plug and hard wire but they also tell you that it voids your warranty when hard wiring

[@MDCHOMES]

@Orbit77777 Good info. Thanks for sharing with us 👍

[@Pauli.Ivanova]

I think people are scared and they think it's different than wiring a regular light in or people just don't know how to hardwire anything when the box is already installed lol that's hilarious. Another video flat out said just hire an electrician to install the mirror... so each time you have to install a light fixture call electrician, unbelievable

[@Pauli.Ivanova]

I mean, nobody has to tell you to do that. Isn't it common knowledge?

[@1XMASTER1]

I used to be a mirror…

[@MDCHOMES]

Alrightsir

[@crypnosis9871]

These annoy me. I don't want all this technology that will break. I don't want Bluetooth or a touch screen.

[@Pauli.Ivanova]

lol who is forcing you to buy technology??? LOL

[@joaquinsuarez6090]

Some mirrors have a led tv.
