This mirror has been a disappointment.  The lighting on it is not very bright, for starters.  More light is required to do any kind of make-up or shaving or anything like that.  Secondly...the back light that supposed to be motion-sensored and come on as a night light.  Forget it.  It comes on and goes off over and over whether anyone's in the bathroom or not.  It cannot be left on as advertised because it would just keep going on and off all day and all night.  And while you're in the bathroom, it does the same thing and is annoying as hell.  I would never by this again and recommend you don't, either.  Spend a little more money and get something decent.  Six months after wasting my money on this dim, malfunctioning mirror, that's what I'm doing.
