Hollywood Lights

What are Hollywood Lights?

Hollywood lights (also called makeup lights and mirror lights) are light fittings with multiple globes that are installed above or beside a mirror to provide supplementary illumination. They are used both in the home as well as by professional actors.

Hollywood Lights Tips

• Try to leave a space between the light and the mirror. About 80mm is ideal.
• If your Hollywood lights are dimmable then use the dimmer as this will allow you to set the optimal lighting for your needs.
• Always install frosted rather than clear globes in your light,
• The colour temperature of your Hollywood lights should be cool white. This will provide clearer lighting than warm white.
• To reduce shadowing to a minimum put Hollywood lights on either side of your mirror as well as the top.
