    Can anybody advise me as to how to replace the bulb or bulbs in this type of mirror ? Surely the mirror doesn't have to be taken off the wall to replace the bulbs ? I have noticed that there are three screws , one top and one either side , that when opened, may allow the mirror glass to be taken off and expose the inside, but I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Is it LED?

    What's on the sticker showing voltage etc...


    If it's LED you usually just put up another as some of these are sealed units.

    I’d say you’re onto something OP. The screws surely have the answer! There may be some on the underside too.

    Hi guys, I'm not good at diy, so apologies in advance, all I know is that it's called Qube mirror with integrated light and demister, I would guess the light is led, mirror is about 3 years old. Surely the LED light can be changed without having to replace the entire mirror ?

    I think if you push the mirror up from the bottom, it should lift away from metal frame and reveal the internals.

    It's LED so no bulbs.

    I thought you lift up the mirror which reveals the lighting and the fixings ( the fixings go through the metal frame). I don't thing they hang on the wall. If the mirror is not covered by warranty it may be possible to replace the leds with led self adhesive strip.

    Thanks for the replies guys, it was bought in Irish International Trading in Cork, so I'll check with them about the guarantee first.

    As posted earlier, is the demister working? Maybe there's a supply issue?

    The guarantee would be with manufacturers now. You should email or call them and state the issues, give the serial number and type and when you bought it.
