Lights flicker and dim; no override for auto timer
I bought this mirror to replace another one purchased from Amazon that I planned to return. However, after using this one for a couple of weeks I ended up keeping that one and returning this one instead. After using this mirror for less than a month, the lights started flickering randomly. The mirror touts an auto timer as an energy saving device, but be aware that you can't override this option. So, while you're using it the mirror will turn itself off. I probably could have lived with that but the flickering lights are just too annoying. It also seems like the lights are noticeably dimmer after just 3 weeks of use. I'm not running it on batteries ... this is with the unit plugged into my wall outlet. And pay attention to the dimensions - at 16&#34; tall, this is one big mirror! On the plus side, I didn't notice any distortion at all in the magnification and the option for the different light tones is nice.
