The lighting on this mirror is insufficient even on the brightest setting. It has four small light bulbs, two blue and two white. The older lighted makeup mirrors used two elongated fluorescent bulbs which provided much brighter light. I thought it was a bargain at 21.99, but then I had to buy a desk lamp to place next to it to supplement the lighting, so it turned out to be no bargain after all. The style, the mirrors, and the magnification are good... but I consider the lighting the most important feature of a lighted make up mirror. So to me, it is a disappointment.

I agree with the previous review that this mirror has bad lighting. I returned it for a refund. I then found the Jilbere mirror in the same style which does have real bright lighting and I am happy with it. Don't waste your money on the Conair.

I have had a lighted mirror for over twenty years, it (the lights) finally died and could not be replaced. I looked at all you had to offer and picked the Conair, mostly because it reminded me most of the old mirror, well, wasn't I in for a shock, this Conair is 10 times better than my old one, the lighting choices, Day, Evening, Office, etc are wonderful and also very true to the setting you are going to be in. I am thrilled with this product and wouldn't hesitate to by anything made by Conair again

The mirror uses four 10 watt bulbs for illumination, two blue and two clear. The clear bulbs are used at 0, 1.2 and full illumination settings and the blue bulbs are either off or on. The maximum wattage of 40 is dimmer than my current mirror and the blue cast adds to the dysfunctional lighting. The design and mirror magnification are fine.

The best mirror I have found is one of a similar design by Vidal Sassoon that used fluorescent bulbs but is no longer available.

If you apply your makeup in a dim room, this lighted mirror will probably not solve your problem. However, I wasn't expecting an ultra-bright light and what the mirror offers with the "day" setting option suits my needs. Plus, the view is much larger than a lot of other mirrors - now I can actually see from the top of my head to my neck! Also, the middle mirror section can be flipped for normal or magnified reflections. You can not get a better makeup mirror for the money - I'm thrilled with this purchase!

After years with my similar style Remington and Clairol mirrors, I assumed this mirror would be the same. I expected the same fluorescent long bulbs that the others had but, instead, this comes with little bulbs that give off very little light. Who ever made the decision to use these bulbs instead of the florescent strip type bulbs should be FIRED. This shouldn't even get one star. I returned this for a refund immediately.

I searched in the stores for a make-up mirror like I had back in the 70's. I was looking for a Clairol mirror with the two lighted sides. The closest I could find was this Conair and after reading the reviews, I thought I'd give it a shot. It was a total disappointment. Ended up giving it to my 10 year old daughter. I knew going into it that probably the only good setting would be daytime but even that didn't work well. The bulbs are not the flourescent type and therefore do not give you even-brightest that you need at 43 years old! It was way too forgiving and I wanted something that didn't lie! I ended up finding an old Clairol one in by mother's basement. Save your money and look on ebay if you want a good one like the olden days!

I initially bought a more expensive conair makeup mirror for $60, because I liked the attractive metal finish, but the light it provided was minimal at best - like putting makeup on by candlelight. So I bought this mirror. I had owned one years ago, and when I went to buy one this time around I figured that if this mirror worked great at $20, then the $60 one would be amazing. Wrong! I'm sticking with this less expensive mirror - the plastic may not look as nice as the metal ones, but the light it provides is much better!

I have owned lighted makeup mirrors by Conair. Here are the problems I encountered with this product.

1) After using for a short time the product gets hot.

2) It is difficult to open the panels that encase the mirror.

3) The lighting options offered are quite dim and definitely do not provide adequate light for applying makeup.

4) The cord is too short.

I had a makeup mirror similar to this one however the off button started to work intermittently. I finally dedided to find another, which turned out to be quite a project. There aren't many of these left to choose from. I read many reviews of this type of mirror out there and found that many of these mirrors have dim lighting. I was hoping for the best with this one but it does have dim lighting. The only setting I find comfortable is the "Day" position. The home and office are, for me, unusable. The evening is also difficult but can be used if you are truly going to a very dimly lit place. Everything works well and I hope that it will continue to, if the one setting goes bad it will become useless to me.
