I bought this for my makeup vanity area and it is not even close to bright enough. For the price I was expecting to be much brighter so that I could use it as the primary light source when applying my makeup and it just does not deliver. If you are going for looks only it is nice looking but if you are going for function keep looking.  Also be aware that if you hard wire it instead of putting it on a switch the power button on the mirror is always lit.
