1.Heating Element: Behind the mirror’s surface, there’s a built-in heating pad or defogger element. This is typically made of a thin film of electrically conductive material or a wire embedded into the mirror’s surface.
Activation: When you turn on the mirror, the heating element activates. It generates gentle heat that is distributed across the mirror’s surface, preventing moisture from condensing on it.
Fog Prevention: The heat from the defogger works to keep the mirror temperature slightly above the dew point, which prevents the formation of fog or condensation. The moisture that would otherwise fog up the mirror is instead dispersed, ensuring a clear reflection.
Energy Efficient: While some people may assume that the defogging feature consumes a lot of power, most LED mirrors with defoggers are designed to be energy efficient. The heating elements only use a minimal amount of electricity, making them practical for daily use.
Dual Functionality: These mirrors combine lighting and defogging features, so you get both bright illumination and a fog-free surface at the same time, which is particularly useful for grooming, shaving, and applying makeup.
These mirrors are a convenient solution to the common issue of fogging in humid environments, providing clarity and ease of use without the hassle of wiping down the mirror constantly.
