Is the lighting from this mirror bad for your skin? Does it expose your face with harmful rays?

I happen to be in the lamp manufacturing business. The output of this mirror LED is in the visiable range. It has no harmful UVB or UVA component. In fact the spectral response provides excellent duplication of natural daylight.

Great question! When I purchased this product, I just wanted a magnifying mirror with lighting and no cord to do my makeup. I was not aware of any harmful rays until you presented this question. Now, as for as, the mirror exposing my face with harmful rays, I'm not sure. I will have to investigate further. I just google, the risk of using LED lighting and found that prolong use causes toxic stress to the retina. Nickie, if you have any info on this matter, please share. I would hate to have to use a SPF first, before looking into my mirror. lol

The lighting is perfect. It surrounds the perimeter of the mirror, is visible on both sides (regular and magnified), and is not so bright that it glares in your eyes.

it's supposed to be for the face but it's not good even for that - Please look at other products for your special condition - it's my honest opinion!!!

No. It is reflective but the image is distorted. It is good for toys but not as a mirror.

Personally my face does not feel hot when using this mirror. I think it depends on how close it is to your face.

Hello - I only had the mirror for a couple days, but it was definitely difficult to view my face. I could only get a clear view if I was a couple inches away, which meant I could only see a very small portion of my face at one time. In other words, yes, I would have to say there was distortion. I hope that helps!

When applying my makeup it comes out looking GREAT versus using any other mirror. The lighting is perfect so you can't overdo the makeup... I believe the mirror is awesome. My daughter loves it too.

This mirror has no lighting. I have mine in a well lit area and it works great.

It is a real mirror with small led screen in right side. If your existing mirror is bulky it may have a hard time staying on.

I have not had an issue with it reflecting light however, I don't have any light sources on the same level. It certainly shows a flashlight when directed into the screen, but only the actual bulb reflection, not glare. Hope this helps.

Good question. I never did because I never looked directly into the light or I closed my eyes. Your skin should be fine. I'm a firm believer in sunscreen so all of my skin products have it. This is a great question for the Sun Touch Company, too.

The mirror puts out a good bit of light. It lights up our smaller bathroom where we only have a light/exhaust fan combo. It is great for putting on makeup-bright white light/no yellow.

No I never had any problems with my eyes with the light. You can get a pair of goggles if you think it might hurt your eyes. I have a large light that I had to use on my skin and I had to wear goggles when I used it! Hope this helps.

I have been using the lightstim acne light since April 2013. There is nothing I recommend highly enough for someone with acne. I used to get light - moderate acne on my chin, and cheek area. Since using the light every morning (usually takes me 40 min to do my whole face) I have nearly perfect skin. You can use the light at night too or twice a day if desired. It's expensive but I would pay 1,000 if I needed to. I would buy the light if you have bad skin.

It does not. The mirror itself is slightly dark but it doesn't effect day or nigh driving. If a car is driving with bright lights or high beams, it doesn't reflect back to your eyes as strong so it won't irritate you.

My make up mirror is also Conair but not sure of the model... I used just a night light when it first burnt out. Then I tried these bulbs. They are much better than a night light but I would still like them to have been a little brighter. They are cheap enough so its worth a try.

The light shines through un-mirrored glass (the small round area at the base of the mirror). On the back of the mirror, there is a removable rounded reflective chrome piece behind the light. I like the Euro light much better than the halo lighted mirrors - probably because that is just what I am used to, but the open circle reflection of the halo light around my pupil makes makeup look different somehow since pupil looks like there is a bright white circle around it. It uses a 25 Watt incandescent bulb which is a good light for makeup application - wide angle, not like a flashlight shining at you - not too bright, but easily bright enough.
