I thought this would be more complicated to install, but there is only one piece to hardwire. It has the LED strip lighting 360 degrees around the back as shown in the photo. There is a little “dot” that you touch on the front and you can adjust the brightness by holding longer. It was packaged well with nothing broken, which always impresses me when a mirror ships across the country. Even if something was broken or didn’t work, it is designed so that any single piece can be replaced without having to get a whole new mirror. Can’t wait to start our master bath remodel.
