Bathroom lighting does a lot more than simply brighten a space. It can change how your skin tone looks, how accurately you apply makeup, and even how confident you feel walking out the door. If you’ve ever caught a glimpse of yourself in different lighting and felt surprised by the reflection, you already know how much the right (or wrong) light can impact your daily routine

The Seinfeld Moment: Why Lighting Changes Everything
The TV show "Seinfeld" was perfectly adept at picking out the most common social annoyances and bringing them to light. Whether it was refusing a piece of pie, withholding exclamation points, or speaking too closely or quietly, "Seinfeld" had a hilarious way to spotlight and nitpick these behaviors. In one such episode, viewers are introduced to Jerry's "two face" girlfriend, who looks completely different depending on the lighting. If this episode proves anything, it's that lighting is everything.
For women, the type of lighting they use while applying makeup can determine how dramatic or natural it looks. For men, it can affect how close they're able to shave. High-quality lighting can be the difference between going into the office with uneven makeup or stubble and showing up looking put together and professional.
Understanding CRI and Color Accuracy
The Color Rendering Index (CRI) is the foundation of true bathroom lighting performance.
WarmlyYours recognized the significant role that lighting plays in every person's morning routine and launched its Marquee Series of LED mirrors. Each model features a perfect score of 100 out of 100 on the Color Rendering Index (CRI). What exactly does that mean? The CRI measures how accurately a light source makes the color of an object appear to the human eye. A perfect score means that the lighting projects the precise color of the object—no distortion, no surprises.
In addition, the lights embedded in the mirrors have a color temperature of 5,000 Kelvin, which is the same as daylight. When the color temperature is lower, the light looks redder (like incandescent bulbs). When it's higher, the light looks bluer (like cool fluorescent). If you've ever replaced the light bulbs in your home, you probably have a good idea of this color variance. The perfect balance is daylight, which is essentially white light.
The Marquee Series: Six Models for Every Bathroom Style
WarmlyYours offers six distinct options across four model lines, each with unique lighting configurations and sizes to match your bathroom design and lighting needs.
The way you want to use the mirror plays a significant role in which model you choose. Here's what each offers:
| Model | Size | Lighting Style | Price | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audrey | 36" x 24" | Inner frame directed light | $440.00 | Makeup, grooming, focused task lighting |
| Audrey | 40" x 28" | Inner frame directed light | $460.00 | Larger vanities, dual-use bathrooms |
| Audrey | 48" x 24" | Inner frame directed light | $500.00 | Wide vanities, maximum coverage |
| Ingrid | 24" x 36" | Two vertical side bars | $440.00 | Balanced lighting, modern aesthetic, ample mirror surface |
| Judy | 36" x 24" | Top bar + circular magnifying mirror | $440.00 | Detail work, makeup precision, grooming focus |
| Marilyn | 27.5" Diameter | Ring lighting | $380.00 | Circular design preference, compact spaces |
Choosing the Right Size and Placement
Proper sizing and positioning ensure your LED mirror delivers maximum lighting and visual impact.
Now that you know exactly what kind of lighting you can expect from WarmlyYours LED mirrors, how do you go about choosing the best option for your bathroom? First, you'll need to decide how wide the mirror should be. In general, the mirror you choose should be 2–4 inches narrower than the countertop or sink area, and the bottom of the mirror should fall at least 2 inches above the countertop. For double vanities with two mirrors, each mirror should be centered above the basin.
In terms of the shape of the mirror, oval and rectangular shapes are the safest, most traditional choices. A square or circular shape will offer a more modern or contemporary look. WarmlyYours offers rectangular models (Audrey, Ingrid, Judy) and a circular model (Marilyn) to suit any design preference.
Mounting Flexibility: Audrey models can be mounted vertically or horizontally, giving you flexibility to match your bathroom layout and design vision.
