The inside is very reflective (that is the purpose of the lining). However, when wearing it, it is not visible if you have it zipped up. The reflective dots are not everywhere. There is about a 2 inch boarder (on the inside of the jacket) on each side along the zipper that does not have the dots. So even with the coat unzipped the dots do not show very much. The jacket is very nice and you do not feel like you are a walking neon sign. This is not a problem at all!

It is bright, but I wouldn't say "very". The light is also focussed on the spot it is aimed at, so of course it won't directly light the area outside of the focus. I don't know about the mount being on the side.

It is bright enough. It progressively lights depending on how low or high you want it. It's like the IKEA one. I love it!

It's quite bright, but I'm not sure it would give you a sufficiently wide or lengthy cone of light to see ahead in the dark. The diameter of the bulb is only about an inch. But, it would certainly make drivers aware of you on the road if you clipped one to the front and one to the back of your bike. On the other hand, you can do that with reflectors.

It's very bright, bright enough to see to walk around the room. You probably wouldn't want it any brighter than it is. It is also very soothing since it has continuous movement.

yes it is plenty bright. We even put a dimmer switch on ours so we could adjust the light.

Very bright when compared to other cosmetic mirrors found in BB&B and other retailers. It is not as bright as a mirror I had several years ago, but it seems this is very brightest of what's currently available. HTH

No: It is not bright -- the light is a dim greenish glow in the ON/OFF switch. It is a 1/2" long and 1/4" oval light that could easily be taped up if the glow proved annoying.

Any sign that is reflective will really be lit up like there was a bright fixed light source on it with just one of these lights. I actually use two of these simultaneously and they light thing up the road well well. I have one set for about bright 30-40 coverage and the second for further down the road. They are pretty economical in battery use (2 AA).

It is a continuous light source. It is probably not bright enough to give you any kind of artistic reflection.

It's pretty bright... But a friend at work does web videos and he recommends 3 light sources to minimize shadows. So, buy 3 of em.

HI. Yes, it's bright enough to use in low or very low light - I hope this helps. ken

It's a medium shiny clear. Dont think it shows glare much. Seems to absorb light well.

The way I'm using it (for portraits, the room is not completely dark, and I use flashes), they are ok. I have noticed a very, very minor brightness when the flash was directed at it (i.e. I was trying to make it reflective to see how it reacts), but it was barely noticeable since I was looking for it.

Its very bright and is viewable in lit rooms. Im not sure about outside and will probably need in direct sunlight to view

I would say it is close to the same brightness. Its not blinding if that helps.

It is very bright. You cannot see into it directly. The beam pattern is circular and it is wide enough because the intensity helps to point the beam far to make it wide to about 10 ft.
