Why Your Bathroom Needs a Real-Life Magic Mirror (you will never be the same)

Why Your Bathroom Needs a Real-Life Magic Mirror (you will never be the same)

by admin · Sep 2, 2023

When fairy godmothers and magic wands are lacking, you can still treat yourself to a dramatic transformation each day, if your bathroom is a magical space. Of course, many details work together to create the perfect space, but one of the best ways to start is to make sure you get two essential elements working together… lights and mirrors.

This is where the beloved illuminated
mirror comes into play.

With clean lines, stylish designs,
and unmatched light quality, mirrors with built-in lights create sophisticated statement
pieces for modern bathrooms. They have an unusual ability to help you transform
yourself and your space at the same time.

At Hobrecht Lighting, we’ve been drooling
over these mirrors for a while now, but most people still haven’t heard of
them! So with that said, here are four ways that an LED illuminated mirror
create a little bit of magic in your bathroom.

LED
Illuminated Mirrors

1. They Amplify Your Style

LED mirrors come in many different
sizes to suit many needs, including those short or boxy bathrooms. They add a
sense of drama and sophistication to a room, and they showcase the wall behind
the mirror. Adding some kind of feature on the mirror wall now has DOUBLE the
impact, whether it’s a cool backsplash or an accent wall color.

2. They Add Atmospheric Lighting

LED illuminated mirrors provide an
even tone of light and a glow throughout the room. Many of them even have an
adjustable color temperature between warm white, natural white, and cool white.
Whatever you’re feeling, these mirrors have a mood lighting to match.

3. They Maximize Your Bathroom Tasks
for a Better Look

Whatever your morning routine looks
like, an LED mirror is sure to make it easier. Focused mirror lighting gives
you a clearer view of your face, improving make-up application and anything
else. I promise I’m addressing the men here, too—the extra light also helps
with shaving, since you can more easily see any spots you may have missed.

4. They Magically Defog Themselves

As if this couldn’t get any better,
some of our favorite LED mirrors now come equipped with a defogger in them. What
could be better than getting out of a hot steaming shower to a totally clear
mirror? Enjoy that steamy goodness while you move on with your necessary tasks.

Ready to take a look for yourself? In addition to all of the perks listed above, they offer even MORE great features, such as:

  • Touch Control Technology
  • Waterproof Grade
  • Built in night light
  • ETL Certification
  • 3 year warranty

Ceiling Fans in the Winter: Why and How

Ceiling Fans in the Winter: Why and How

by admin · Aug 26, 2023

It’s a common misconception that fans always bring down the temperature. However, there’s a little more to it than that. When I was a kid, our home didn’t have central air or heat, so in the winter we’d build a fire in our wood heater, open the bedroom doors, and slowly let the heat spread into those areas.  

One cold night, I was sitting in the living room trying to get warm when my mom turned on the ceiling fan. I quickly objected because, like many others, I thought that fans were supposed to cool you off, not warm you up!  To my surprise, however, our fan brought down the nice, warm air from our 11 foot ceilings and warmed me up in no time. 

So how can you make this work in the winter? Fans are remarkable. They use the ‘wind chill’ effect to change body temperature, even though they don’t change the ambient temperature of the room.  Hot air rises, so a fan can push that warm air down from the ceiling (where it isn’t benefitting anyone!) and bring it down to your level instead.

Interestingly enough, a fan should spin counter-clockwise in the summer and clockwise in the winter. If you’re unsure how yours is spinning, stand directly underneath it and turn it on. If you need to change it, turn the fan back off and look for your fan’s direction switch. 

Fans are an energy efficient way to create a comfortable temperature at home—even in the winter! They can literally be run all year round, (assuming they are spinning the correct direction). Feel free to call Hobrecht Lighting with questions.

How Ceiling Fans Can Save You Money In All Seasons

How Ceiling Fans Can Save You Money In All Seasons

by admin · Aug 19, 2023

The hottest summer days and the coldest winter nights can lead to cranking on the thermostat and electric bills piling up. If this sounds familiar, then it’s time to invest in a ceiling fan. Regulating the temperature in your home doesn’t have to break the bank. The truth is that ceiling fans can save you a tremendous amount of money and energy in all seasons.

Saving Money in Summer

In the summer months, running an AC is what cost the most money and uses the most energy in a home. At a cost of around 36 cents per hour of operation, it accounts for a quarter of all home energy consumption, according to the United States Energy Information Administration, part of the Department of Energy. However, the average cost of running a ceiling fan is just one cent per hour. Cost-effective ceiling fans used in conjunction with an efficient air conditioner can save you a tremendous amount of money.

Ceiling fans circulate the air in the room, giving off a wind-chill effect which helps cool any room, keeping you comfortable on hot summer days. In a home that has a good ceiling fan, one can actually turn up the AC by 8 degrees and not even feel a difference. You read that right! If you typically like your bedroom at 70 degrees Fahrenheit, you can turn it up to 78 and use your ceiling fan to keep the temperature at 70 degrees for you. Imagine the money that this could save you! 

Saving Money In Winter 

A ceiling fan won’t just save you money during hot days, but they also help on the coldest of days. Ceiling fans that have a reversible motor are money savers in colder seasons. With the flip of a switch that is found on the side of their motor housing, most ceiling fans will change rotations, and go clockwise. This reverse motion creates an updraft in the room, moving the hot air around without the wind-chill effect. With even distribution of heat throughout a room, the thermostat can be turned down and money will be saved.
