Some have mentioned that the green warning light (for ice,etc.) is very bright. Would it be annoying sitting next to me ?

If you find the ice warning light too bright, just put a piece of semi-opaque tape over it to reduce the brightness.

The light for ice starts blinking when the outside sensor drops to 35/35 degrees. The light blinks once every five seconds. How bright is appears would be subject to its environment. Are you in a well lighted room?, and what is the viewing angle? If this would be within one foot of you and about at eye level, then you may get annoyed. I myself do not consider the light very bright, and it may change depending on the freshness of your batteries. As you can see, the information you are seeking, can be considered in with a lot of variables.

Not a problem unless always in line of sight. But very small and not that bright. Very useful as a alert for freezing and Ice.

Yes, it would annoy you a bit. It appears to me that it will go off all winter; it even alerts for frost. I don't hate the unit, but it's not like the other, cooler OS unit that I had.

That's a really subjective question. I think it's a bright light when turned up all the way (we have ours on a dimmer) - glaring almost.

You can see bumps etc.It s very very bright .if not for the size it may be passed for small motorbike light when approaching.

No, but even at night its not distractingly bright. There is a newer version that has a safety cutoff built in if you lean out that's better than this model. Of course it costs more. If you're running a bit fat for safeties sake then this is a good buy

Brightness is personal preference. You might be fine with it, and another person may not be. So unfortunately I'm unable to answer that. keep in mind that the directions explain that the light should not be directly in front of you. So you might want to place the light in the corner of your desk.

Wouldn't think it should present any problem. Just make sure it's focus is on you and not situated toward a coworker. It's bright, but it is a "happy bright"..not glaring. Probably would go unnoticed for the most part, depending on the heights & set ups of coworkers cubicles, as well as overall office lighting. If office lighting is poor, which is the case many times, then it will be noticed. Make sure you read the directions in order to get optimum benefit.

It is not so bright that it hurts MY eyes. I usually use it on low for reading at night but have turned it on high and have NOT been negatively effected by it. :)

Yep! The green power light stays on, but its hardly noticeable. The night lite part is really pleasant and subtle when it is on.

Hi, it is very bright, but not obnoxious. But like I stated in my review, the pretty blue started to chip away after 2 days to reveal a not so attractive white plastic:/. Hope this helps.

No, but it's a low dull greenish light...it doesn't bother me, but can't answer to your level of light awareness...you might be able to remove the bulb but I don't see how to do it in the book.

My westclock has a small greenish light about the size of a dime behind the nine. Unless it is right next to me, I can not see what time it is. I had to move it next to the bed.

There is a small green indicator light in the selector switch that is on when it's operating.

I honestly just put it in the recycling bin today. I never used it. I got it for a trip we were going to take in my Tahoe. My husband does not like the glare from the dash. We ended up taking another vehicle. If you respond quickly and send your address to conniedchris@sbcglobal.net I will mail it to you. It might need to lay out a couple of days because I rolled it up and stored it in a tight spot for several months.

I find that it's not really an issue. Since the mirror is convex, it makes everything a lot smaller, including the high-beams of the jerk behind you. So it's not as bright and annoying.

It is incredibly bright, so if you're not going to make eye contact with it, go for it. If you will keep making eye contact with the bulb, I'd avoid it.

I would say that it is definitely bright enough, but you will need plenty of space as it is quite big. A tall person will need to duck under it.
