Do you have a mirror like this with plug in AND batteries? Mom goes to Africa and the outlets are different.

We have item RI-7504-12L which is a 12x/1x Lighted Folding Vanity/Travel Mirror. It runs on batteries or you can purchase an adapter for it to plug in as well.

I can't speak to either on personal experience. Specific locations may vary within a country. Try <www.walkabouttravelgear.com> as one source of information for adapters world wide. Refer to their " world-wide electrical index". Do be sure to check your appliances for compatibility with 220V power. That is a universal in Africa. Most new appliances are, but will burn up if they are not. Transformers and converters are available, and not cheap for reliable ones.

The mirror is a little cheap. First the obvious question: did you install the batteries properly? Make sure they are oriented correctly. After that, make sure the switch clicks as you spin it. Make sure there is nothing inside the mirror handle that breaks the circuit. If you still can't make it work, send it back to Amazon for an exchange.

No batteries at all. Plug in only. I LOVE this mirror. In fact, I am on my second one. The first one I had for probably 7 years and then the light died. I couldn't find it in stores, so I had to get online to find it. It's a great mirror. You'll be very pleased!!

I looked everywhere and I do not see anything that shows the wattage. I do know that if you wanted to use this as your main mirror you will need to buy the wall adapter that you can use with it. Light is much brighter with the wall adapter. With batteries as the batteries wear out the light gets dimmer. I use it for travel and have the wall adapter. I really like it and have not had problems with it.

Yes, I just came back from Zambia in Africa and I used it on several flights which did not have power outlets.

Mirrors will always be a brighter when they are plugged in. However Thailand's voltage is 220-240AC, but the adaptor is made for the United States electrical current where it is 110 volts. So even if you purchased the adaptor, you could not use it in Thailand. If you did, it would ruin the unit. We do sell the adaptor for use in the US.

Sorry about last answer. I was thinking about another mirror I had purchased. For this one, I just use batteries and remove them when not traveling.

I LOVE my cordless mirror. The battery is in the base and no cords are visible at all.

The mirror is small, probably 6" across. I never got it to work. Tried several batteries and nothing. Disappointing.

Check what bulb you have in your makeup mirror they come in different diamters

Your electrician will need to run a wire out of the wall and hook it up to the mirror versus a cord in the back to plug into an outlet.

I have the burnished copper model but it looks identical except for the color and yes, there is a plug/outlet on the back of the circular base. I have the mirror plugged in and a small fan plugged into the back of my mirror so I still have a wall outlet available for my hairdryer/straightening iron.
