We remodeled our bathroom and I wanted a mirror that could be hardwired so there wouldn't be unsightly wires. My husband said it was a little tricky to install, but that was because of where our power was located. The lighting is perfect and I love the magnified mirror as I can see the one or two chin hairs you get when you get older. I also love the fact that I can move it in different directions and push it close back to the wall when I am done.
