I wanted to save money by not having to buy light fixtures along with a mirror. I also like the way this looks. It’s not as bright as I was hoping for but I’m getting used to it. Directions on how to operate the lights wasn’t included- only how to install them. I called Wayfair’s customer service, they investigated and then called me back. It turns out that you have to hold the power button down to increase the brightness. I couldn’t find a mirror that went higher than 6500 lumens.
