The Athena 450 x 900mm Rectangle LED Shaving Cabinet in Matte White is a slim, tall rectangular mirror cabinet with softly rounded corners, a front-lit LED border, a single soft-close mirrored door and shelving behind the mirror. It measures 450mm wide x 900mm high x 160mm deep and mounts on the wall with the wiring hidden behind the cabinet.

The straight sides line up neatly with square vessel basins, rectangular tiles and wall-hung tapware, while the rounded corners keep it from looking hard-edged. At 450mm wide it fits the narrow wall above a small vanity, and the 900mm height gives a full-length reflection for getting ready. The cabinet body is engineered board finished in matte white PVC film, the 4mm mirror is copper-free, and the LED is a 6500K cool white strip rated for up to 50,000 hours, switched on and off with a sensor on the mirror face.

Tall and Narrow: Getting Storage Into a Small Ensuite

Small ensuites usually lose storage first — there is no room for a tallboy and the vanity is only 450–600mm wide. A cabinet that goes up rather than out gives you shelves at eye level without taking any floor space or crowding the basin.

The LED border runs around the mirror face, so the light falls on the face from the front instead of casting shadows from a ceiling downlight. For the sensor to respond reliably, keep it at least 20cm away from reflective surfaces such as a side wall or a glass shower screen.

Key Features of the Athena Rectangle LED Mirror Cabinet

• Front-lit LED: 6500K cool white light shining forward from the mirror face — bright, even light for shaving, skincare and makeup. Rated up to 50,000 hours.
• Sensor switch: Turn the light on and off from a sensor on the mirror, with no switch to install on the wall.
• Single mirrored door: A single soft-close mirrored door on DTC soft-close hinges, with shelving behind the mirror.
• 4mm copper-free mirror: The mirror backing is made without copper, the layer that commonly causes black edge spotting in humid bathrooms.
• Hidden wiring: Power is connected behind the cabinet, so there are no visible cords on the wall.
• No demister pad: The cabinet does not include a heated anti-fog pad. Good ventilation keeps the mirror clear after a shower.
• SAA approved: Certified for Australian electrical safety; input 220–240V, 50Hz.

Care & Normal Wear

Wipe the mirror and cabinet with a soft damp cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner — never spray cleaner directly onto the LED strip or sensor. Run the exhaust fan during and after showers and dry off any water sitting on the cabinet edges. Steam trapped in an unventilated room or water left on the cabinet can still cause damage over time, and water damage is not covered by the warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions About the Athena 450 x 900mm Rectangle Shaving Cabinet

Q: Does it need an electrician to install?
A: Yes. The LED is hard-wired to 220–240V mains power, so the connection must be made by a licensed electrician. Plan the power point position before the wall is tiled, as the wiring is hidden behind the cabinet.

Q: Does the mirror have a demister (anti-fog pad)?
A: No. This cabinet does not include a heated demister pad. Running the exhaust fan during and after a shower is the best way to keep the mirror clear.

Q: Can I change the colour of the light or dim it?
A: No. The LED is a fixed 6500K cool white and switches on and off with the sensor; it is not dimmable or colour-changing.

Q: How do I turn the LED on and off?
A: Use the sensor switch on the mirror face: place your hand about 1cm in front of the sensor and move it up or down to switch the light on or off. For reliable operation keep the sensor at least 20cm from reflective surfaces such as walls or glass.

Q: Will it cope with bathroom humidity?
A: The mirror is copper-free, which helps resist the black edge spotting humidity can cause, and the cabinet is finished in PVC film. The board underneath is not solid PVC, so keep the room ventilated, wipe off standing water and don't let water run down the wall behind the cabinet.

Q: What does delivery to Melbourne cost?
A: Orders to Melbourne ship free over $2,000 — the same threshold as Sydney and Canberra. Brisbane and Adelaide are free over $2,500 and Perth over $3,200. Regional Victoria, such as Geelong, Ballarat and Bendigo, is calculated at checkout by postcode.
