This mirror certainly provides a WOW factor, as well as lighting options to dictate use or mood, anti fog option and power button on face of mirror. It can be plugged in  to outlet as stand alone OR plugged into outlet that an electrician can  connect to a switch .  It also comes with a template for hanging ease, but beware that the arrow indicating "this way up" does not mark center. (Simply fold the circle in half for that) I LOVE this mirror and more than satisfied . Highly recommed!!
