Is the lighting too intense or too glary that can make it difficult to focus?

It is very bright but you get a great even makeup application because of that. I didn't find the brightness to be an issue.

The light is super intense, but I find it much more effective. I have put away my prettier looking mirror and only use this one now because I can SEE everything. My other mirror was 10X magnification but I didn't see half of what I can see with this one.

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.

Lighting is bright, but no glare. Fluorescent is superior to led in this application.

It is very bright but i do not feel it compromises the focus. My only complaint is the neck itself takes quite a bit of maneuvering in order to get it in a comfortable position.

I think the lighting is perfect - natural! I have no trouble focusing. Most other mirrors are too dim to really see. I take this mirror with me whenever I travel and love it.

Not at all. It's perfect. I had my first one for at least 10 years. I could have just replaced the bulb but I wanted a new one for my place in Florida. You will be amazed at what you will see on the magnifying side. (it might scare you a little!). You'll see hairs that you never realized were there. It's great for putting on makeup and tweezing eyebrows.

I used it from the periphery and i seem to remember reading that this was fine. I've read that having the light slightly above eye level is best so that the experiences it as if it is coming from the sun. Here is a link on more than you may have wanted to know about how to use the light to address specific health matters: http://day-lights.com/us/light-therapy-news/downloads/light-therapy-wp.pdf

probably a 2 light option would be best, for intense lighting to apply makeup, etc.

Yes, I do believe it is difficult. Not impossible, but definitely more difficult than normal black-on-white screens. There isn't a lot of contrast, which means if light is low, it can be hard to read. And even more so if you're just trying to take a quick glance in the middle of a run or bike. I would definitely prefer white-on-black. Note that I don't think the red-on-black backlight is very good either. Same problem: very little contrast which makes it harder to read at a quick glance.

Not that great in low light. You will need to light the room a little, try a red light or something to have an excuse for lighting :)

No.. check your scene selection or you may just be focused so closely on an object that moves out of focus range

Light quite harsh even on low, red should be better. Made more for outdoor open space area. You would see well, just not a mood setter

I use it in that manner, yes. I have a permanently dilated eye on the right side, so bright lights and sunlight both are very stressful to me. I use it both day and night.

Use Super Macro mode and make sure you have excellent indoor lighting if doing this indoors. Otherwise, use a light box or set up outside. :)

It is mostly a focused light. For most desk purposes like general lighting it would not be adequate.

I think this light might be a little too much for a seating area. This light has severe directional lights for say displaying things.

I think that will have to slow down a little. I use to live events, with other lamps, and is great, but sometimes you have to cut the lights.

In my limited night shooting experiences, as always, it is best to play around with the settings. I still have nothing but trouble when trying to shoot fireworks, but as far as portraits go--all good. I prefer the candlelight setting for most low light environments and have had no problems. My focus subject is lit, but you can definitely still tell that it is a night time shot. As far as longer exposure subjects (i.e. fireworks, moon, etc), I still have trouble but I am guessing that it is my limited knowledge on the proper way to handle these situations, not the equipment. I am still thrilled with this camera several months later! In my limited night shooting experiences, as always, it is best to play around with the settings.

Not at all. In fact, if you turn it up too bright, it'll make it more difficult because of the contrast. Generally, the darker it is outside, the darker you should keep your crosshairs

Yes, you can focus it on a small area and also change the level of illumination... look for hard to notice depression on side to turn on, turn up and turn off.Hope this helps

Absolutely yes! You may have to play around with positioning it, but the lighting is wonderful.

Depends. If you are planning on working i the shed then at full intensity, it may still be too dull, but if you just need a light to find things then it may.
