What’s Happening?

An infinity mirror build starts off with a standard 100% reflective mirror at the back of a deep frame. There is then a strip of lights on the inside edge of the frame. The front “mirror” is really a piece of glass with a partially transmissive, partially reflective surface. With the lights off, the internal of the box is dark enough that the front surface looks like a standard mirror. When the lights are turned on they are reflected off the back standard mirror. Since the front surface is partially reflective, part of the light is then reflected back to the standard mirror and then back to the front, back to the back, etc. The partially transmissive part allows you to see this reflecting happening.

How does Infinity Mirrors Work?

An Infinity Mirror is a mirror illusion that has a pattern that goes on and on for eternity. You can easily make one or even purchase them online! Infinity Mirrors are designed to give the illusion that the lights within them are trailing off into the abyss, continuing forever into infinity and beyond.

This is achieved through the placement of your LED lights between the two glass mirror panels.
