When selecting illuminated bathroom mirrors, understanding the difference between AA battery and lithium-ion battery technology is essential. While AA battery mirrors rely on disposable cells, lithium-ion mirrors, like the Lustro collection, use a rechargeable power pack designed for longevity, convenience and sustainability.
Key Advantages of Lithium-Ion Battery Mirrors
1. Rechargeable Efficiency
Lithium-ion battery mirrors eliminate the need for frequent battery replacement, offering a more cost-effective and low-maintenance solution. With a charge costing around 3p per year (based on 20 minutes of use per day), compared to approximately £24 spent annually on AA batteries, the long-term savings are substantial.
2. Environmentally Responsible
Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries greatly reduce waste compared to disposable AA batteries, helping minimise environmental impact. Fewer batteries are discarded, supporting more sustainable bathroom design practices.
3. Consistent Illumination and Performance
Lithium-ion technology delivers stable, long-lasting brightness, ensuring mirrors maintain optimal illumination throughout each charge cycle. In contrast, AA-powered mirrors often dim as batteries deplete, compromising both the user experience and the overall bathroom aesthetic.
The Modern Choice for Designers and Installers
Lithium-ion mirrors provide a contemporary and low-maintenance lighting solution that combines style with simplicity. Installation is straightforward, with no need to chase out walls or run cables. For the Lustro collection, simply hang your mirror from the supplied cleat bracket using just two screws.
Available in rectangular, round and oval designs, experience how advanced rechargeable technology can take your bathroom designs to the next level.
