Installation
Activate the Big Sexy ClearMirror by a switch. You may decide to connect it to another light or fan to
ensure it is turned off when not in use.
1. Before installing wall tile, measure for desired mirror height from the finished shower floor.
2. Prepare an area 30” x 60” for the mirror (or custom size). Adjust for your grout lines.
3. Measure and mark the location of the junction box for the heater leads. Typically centered.
4. Measure & mark the location of the LED light.
5. Remove the marked area of wallboard to allow the mirror to install flush with the tile and run the
LED lead to the location of the LED Power Breakout.
6. Remove the marked area of wallboard and mount the junction box per manufacturers
instructions. (see Figure 1).

WARNING: This stage requires a qualified electrician and conformance with both the National
Electrical Code and local building codes. Turn off the power to the circuit connected to the light
fixture at the disconnect means. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
Wiring the Heaters
Observe electrical load requirements. Ensure total amperage does not exceed rating of
the wall switch (i.e. 15-amp switch), circuit or existing wiring.
Use minimum 18-gauge wire from transformer to mirror connection.
1. Run power supply wires from the provided low-voltage in-line power supply to the
opening at the mirror location. The power supply wires are run behind the wall.
2. Ensure low-voltage junction box is installed per manufacturer’s instructions.

Electrical Code and local building codes. Turn off the power to the circuit connected to the light
fixture at the disconnect means. Failure to do so could result in death or serious injury.
Wiring the LED
Figure 2. LED power supply and power breakout.
The ShowerLite uses a custom power breakout board to receive power and connect LED(s).
Maximum distance from mirror to the LED driver is 40 ft. Driver also has a 6 ft. AC cord with plug.
If not already mounted, the power breakout board can be mounted on the mirror as needed (near the
LED or near the heater leads). It comes with double stick adhesive. The LED lead and power supply
lead connect to any open spot on the power breakout.
The LED power supply is plugged into a switched outlet. The outlet is either dedicated for the
ShowerLite or tied into another switched light in the bathroom.
1. Run power supply wire from the provided low-voltage plug-in power supply to the opening at the
mirror location. The 24V power supply wire is 40-feet long and runs through the wall.
2. Before mounting the mirror, connect the power and test LEDs and heater.
NOTICE: Use only supplied LED wiring between the mirror and the outlet. All wiring must be in
accordance with applicable installation code, NFPA 70-2011, National Electric Code.
The direct plug-in power supply must be accessible for service and replacement and must have
some air flow. Do not mount the power supply in a closed wall. Common locations include:
cabinets, closets, attics and adjoining rooms.

NOTICE: This stage requires two people. One to hold the mirror and another to connect the
wires with UL approved wire nuts or snap connectors.
DO NOT LET MIRROR HANG FROM CONNECTED WIRES!
1. One or two people to hold the mirror while another connects and wraps the heater leads with
electrical tape.
2. Feed the excess lead wires into the junction box.
3. Test to make sure the heater is working. It takes 3 to 5 minutes to heat the mirror.
4. Apply mirror mastic or Kerdi Fix adhesive to the mirror back on areas that will contact the wall
board. It is safe to apply mastic on the heater.
5. Apply a continuous bead around the entire perimeter of the mirror back (See Figure 3).
6. Carefully mount to the wall.
7. Securely tape and brace the mirror in place for 24 to 48 hours or until dry.
