Hi everyone,

I've been browsing online for bathroom mirrors to go above the vanity,
and so far, I've found one that I really like. It is a backlit mirror
which I think is a great idea because it eliminates the need for extra
lighting above it (I have a low ceiling)...

The problem is that these don't seem to be available anywhere in the
US. I emailed this company and they said that they only ship to UK
addresses. Has anyone seen these for sale in the US. And if not, why
are they only available overseas.

Google backlit+mirror yields 370,000 hits.

Here's a couple:

It does seem, however, that backlit mirrors are mainly a British fetish.
