Most consumers
accept 4X or 5X as ideal
Customers with
poor eyesight often ask for greater than
5X.
For customers with good vision 3x can be sufficient.
How does a mirror magnify?
Through bent-glass magnification.
The more curvature the higher the magnification.

speaking, most larger diameter mirrors have less
magnification than smaller mirrors

What about metal and finishes?
Most stamped mirror parts are steel. Brass is used
whenever possible.
The base metal is bathed in neutralizing water, then
polished and finally dipped in pre-plating nickel solution.
Finishes are then applied and lacquer coated if appropriate.
Currently Kimball & Young offers Chrome, Brushed Nickel,
Polished Nickel, Gold Brass and Chrome with Gold accents.
What are the differences between different light bulbs?
Fluorescent 20-watt bulb, gives 75 watts of
illumination. Brighter and cooler to touch. Mirror is
heavier due to the transformer and supporting design.
Incandescent 25, 30, 40 watt bulbs. Less expensive,
warmer to the touch.
Halo-Lighted Mirror Lens Superior all-around
lighting, less shadows.
