I love this lighted mirror.  It's battery operated so I can move it all around. Don't think because it takes triple A batteries it won't be bright.  This mirror gets so bright and illuminates better than my very expensive hard wired mirror.  This actually sits in front of that mirror!  The  large magnifying glass is a game changer.  If you are trying to pluck your eyebrows and not use a tiny little hand held magnifier, this is the mirror for you!  Game changer.
