We ordered two different styles of mirrors (and different manufacturers) because from years of traveling, knew that this type of backlit mirror can have very different lighting.  This mirror is not as bright as expected, but works great in our 3/4 bath where it's not being used for make-up or where you need brighter light (and there are two other lights in that bathroom). If you are thinking about this type of mirror and have more than one place to install, I'd recommend choosing more than one style/mfr and then compare in your specific space... like I said, we had "homes" for both of the different ones we purchased.
