What’s the theory of infinite mirror? How to make an infinite mirror?

Infinite mirror is well received in advertising industrial in recent year, such as billboard, signage, decorative light and so on. Infinite mirror billboard is more three-dimensional. Do you know how to make an infinite mirror?

1.Structure of infinite mirror

The structure of infinite mirror is very simple, just need 2 mirrors and lamp belt, so it’s not that thick as we thought.

Combination of infinite mirror: two way mirror + lamp belt + single side mirror.

2.Theory of infinite mirror

The theory of infinite mirror is the reflection of mirror, creates an unlimited layers of mirror effect, such as INFINITY MIRRORED ROOM by Kusama Yayoi, Starry Art Museum and so on. Only when we get into the room can we see the reflection of mirror.

Difference between infinity mirror room and infinite mirror:

Infinity mirror room: single sided mirror + single sided mirror

Infinite mirror: two way mirror + single sided mirror

For an instance, use following materials to make an infinite mirror(as photo): a two way mirror(95% reflectivity) at 10% transparency, lamp belt and a single sided mirror.

1. The lamp belt emits a beam of light (100% light) into the single sided mirror.

2. The singled sided mirror reflects 95% of light into two way mirror(10% transparency): [1^st reflectivity]

3. 9.5% of light through two way mirror, meanwhile 85.5% of light into the single sided mirror: [2^nd reflectivity]

4. The single sided mirror reflect 81.22% of light into two way mirror: [3^rd reflectivity]

5. 8.12% of light through two way mirror to our eye, meanwhile reflect 73.1% of light into single sided mirror.

We can see the the effect of the infinite mirror through the two way mirror, it’s not until the light through the two-way mirror is dimmer than the brightness of the room that the layer of light is stop increased.

In conclusion, if the light of lamp belt is brighter than the room and use low light transmittance, the effect of infinite mirror is better.

On the other hand, the effect of infinite mirror will be unsatisfied.

To deal with this problem, we can increase the voltage of lamp belt or the light transmittance. However, most people will choose the high light transmittance of two way mirror. Because the voltage of the lamp belt is limited.

Notice: To get a satisfying infinite mirror, choose an appropriate transmittance of two way mirror is very important. If not sure which transmittance fit you, feel free to contact us, we’ll always be here.

Hot sale transmittance of two way mirror in our company, Goodsense, is at 5-15% transparency.

Materials:

two way mirror*1,

single sided mirror*1,

12 V lamp belt*1,

220V to 12 V transformer*1,

socket*1,

wooden base*2,

lamp belt kits*10

You’ll get a simply infinite mirror according to the procedures in the video.
