I am very pleased with this mirror.  I was concerned that a battery-powered light might not be bright enough, but  there was no reason to be concerned.  The light is definitely bright enough.  I have terrible lighting in my bedroom, and this mirror is wonderful even in the dim light.  It is also a very nice height.  I have it sitting on my make-up vanity, and when I sit down it is the perfect height needed to apply my makeup.  I am very satisfied with my purchase.
