When I purchased the mirror,  I explained to the agent how I need extreme light because of my vision.  To make a long story short, it's no brighter than the sconce I had. Because it's super heavy, I had to pay for install. I'm stuck with an expensive mirror that is still pretty dim, despite it stating super bright. Also, if I keep the mirror on over a certain time the defogger light comes on. Oh, last but not least, the wrap marks are still on the glass, and it's extremely difficult to get mirror crystal clear, and that's something I definitely know how to do. I'm very disappointed.  I made 2 purchases, around the same time and the ceiling fan, which I will speak of was just as bad.
