Cheap hollywood-style mirror made with stuff from IKEA

[Ivonne383]

could you please email me and tell me how to change this wiring to a plug in! everyone at home depot and lowes has been unhelpful! [email protected]. This would be such a great help! Btw, i wish my lights didnt have that stupid circle. you are lucky you got your lights before they changed the design. thanks!

I took the circles off. They came with it. I can send you the video of how we did it, but it will be a few vid clips because it's too long to send from my phone.

My mom bought me the lights as a surprise! They're more expensive here in the Netherlands (or maybe Europe as a whole though), they were €30. Sometimes moms are just the sweetest!

Hmmmmm can't wait until my well lit make-up spot is finished!

It's extremely easy.. There are two wires a ground and a power (white & black wire) just connect them to the same Color wire on the plug and you're done.

do you know how to mount the lights on the wall without the circle plate?
Please let me know...thank you!!

The circle comes off the lights and you should be able to google instructions on the wiring.

Opps sorry I'm new here Can you please tell me how you removed the circle disks? Also, did you add a dimmer? I think I saw a switch in the right. Thank you!

If I recall correctly you just remove the screws.

Hi Hun I'm in the uk too I got mine from ikea I need another one though I bought the kjoa mirror I cannt remember how you spell it lol And I bought the led lighting from ikea too I think it was about 45-48 pounds for lighting for one strip and 12.00 for mirror x I haven't put it up yet I'm still doing my vanity as just moved and I'm new to all of this as never had a vanity begore

That's mine ATM very untidy as still trying to sort it but I have only had it up at the weekend

I've tasked my bf with making me a mirror like this - he seems to think he can diy something better (and more cost effective!) than the ikea strips, whilst my main concern was that if the ikea strips only take ikea bulbs, if one bulb runs out, it's a 2 hour round trip to ikea to buy some replacements. We went to Homebase last night to look at lights, and he produced lightbulbs the size of hot air balloons - no need to post pics here when he's done, because you'll probably be able to see the lights from outer space!
