I hesitated about buying this because of a few reviews saying it wasn't bright enough, so this is about brightness.
In physics there is an inverse square law that says that the intensity of light from a point source decreases with the inverse square of the distance, so if you double the distance, the brightness is 1/4, and if you triple the distance the brightness is 1/9. The Whellen Selfie is bright enough at 12 inches, but when I clipped it to my desktop monitor at 32 inches, the brightness is 1/6, and not enough, so to clip on your phone it will work well, but for something else you'll need to find a way to mount it closer. Note also that the brightness is adjustable and that the warm and cool settings are dimmer than the normal setting.
As photo light sources go, this is pretty small and so you will see shadows accentuated on your face. That's why serious photographers use umbrella-sized or multiple lights for more even lighting.
One weird thing is that the emergency signaling mode flashes "S M S" in Morse code, not SOS.
Overall, this works well as a selfie light. It has a generous clip size. It's easy to operate even without instructions. It can double as a book light and you can get around in the dark in a pinch. Any micro USB cable (included) can charge it.
Update
It's now 2 years later, and surprisingly this gadget hasn't ended up forgotten in a box. I still use it, but not for selfies. I use it clipped to the phone facing outward as a light for taking close photos with the phone camera at night. It's just so utterly convenient.

First picture is with out the light second is with the light. The product its self is really good doesn't feel cheap extremely light and really easy to use. I personally found that I have a better use of it if I place it on my mirror when I'm doing my brows and it has helped me out so much. Highly recommend this product if you are a huge selfie taker or if you just want to use it the way I did.

I needed better lighting when doing my videos and this works. It's small and easy to use and provides a nice variety of lighting. BUT I had to create a way to hang it on my computer because it does not sit at all. This works better on cell phones.
