We saw this fantastic mirror set up in a display home on the weekend Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ I've also seen it in the Sofitel Hotel in Melbourne. It gives off a nice soft light - good for going to the bathroom in the middle of the night or those early mornings where you are trying to avoid bright lights! Any idea how hard this would be to do? I imagine that it would be just a frame for the mirror and then power point behind for the long fluoro light. Anyone done this in their own place before? (I can just imagine the builder's face when I suggest this to him!) After 4 years - we're in!

Anyhoo, I wonder if the design would need to take account of possible condensation running down the wall from steamy showers. And as mood lighting it's very nice Re: Would this mirror be difficult to do? 11Apr 08, 2008 1:25 pm Michelle vanderlay Michelle It’s a scene from a horror movie!

Innocent homebuyers are hynotized to respond with murderous rage whenever certain key words are mentioned, for example "beige" or "water feature".

In order to make amends for taking this post off track there are a number of lighting suppliers that have "underbench" lighting, for example: http://www.allenlighting.com.au/item.php?id=14 I'd imagine the key criteria are slimline and cool lighting and this is mounted into the frame you mentioned. Is this what "cove" lighting is??? mmm....donuts Homer Simpson 1956- Links: Site Costs Ready Reckoner | H1 Addiction Medical Advice | Château TDL: The Backyard Re: Would this mirror be difficult to do? 17Apr 08, 2008 2:42 pm no probs about the threadjacking everyone!
definitely mood lighting. I think the room would have a regular oyster light as well (in the powder rooms) and a 3 way heater-fan-light in the bathrooms (main & ensuite) I think cove lighting is this: Like ⋅ Add a comment ⋅ Pin to Ideaboard ⋅ Possibly LED strips is the way to go like this: http://www.superled.com.au/ribbon.html After 4 years - we're in!
