Cabaret style mirror lights

[Gazthesparky]

Hi There


I have a customer who has a large mirror in her dressing room which she would like the theatre style make up mirror show lights installing all the way round the mirror. I have suggested to install 2 separate fittings either side of the mirror. these are off the shelf and saves me the hassle

The customer said she would prefer that the lights go all the way round the frame so that leaves me with the problem with how to achieve that. I wondered if anyone has had to do this and whether anyone had found any kits of parts that I can use to make this up.

At the moment I'm thinking of installing 2x2 white plastic trunking with some lamp holders in around the mirror. Would like to use LED to keep the heat down especially as id be using plastic trunking. Low voltage LED would be better incase one of the lamps get broken.

any suggestions would be greatly recieved

Cheers

Similar to that , if the customer wants theatre atmosphere , make some up with decorative plaster .
I have done similar in the past when it was in vogue.
This link may not be ideal ,but it will give you the gist.
Plaster Dado Rails - http://www.plasterceilingroses.com/plaster-dado-rails/plaster-dado-rails.
The wider rails are there to be had , or used to be.

I installed the ikea lights top and bottom of the mirror just lately,the effect was what the client wanted
,I would suggest,if she hasn't done so,she look on google images at mirrors with all around lights ,the exercise may put her off the idea
