I dont have good lighting around my vanity, this would be about my only source of light. Will this be bright enough for me to see when applying makeup

No, most likely not since I turn on the lights above vanity and overhead ceiling light to have enough light in my bathroom.

I think it's bright enough for makeup, but I have to turn on the overhead light if I want to see my dark hair in the mirror in an otherwise dark room. Fortunately I have a dressing table mirror too. You may want to look into additional lighting from a floor lamp.

At first, my wife said 'Yes.' When I turned off the bathroom light and only the mirror light was on, she said "Yeah, I think so."

Yes! I have mine on my vanity in my bedroom. The lighting in my room varies alot. However, with the mirror (esp the magnification side) and the light from it, I can see just fine to apply makeup and pluck my brows. AM VERY PLEASED!!! BUY IT!!! :)

Im not sure that these would be bright enough for makeup. They give a good light for video, but compared to a vanity light bar, that are not that bright. Plus their size might be prohibitive.

This mirror has an LED light rather than florescent so it looked slightly different when I first turned it on. This didn't take me but a few minutes to get use to, though. Questions and comments about makeup mirror lights never being very bright are common. All lighted mirrors are designed to help you see your face without shadows, not to provide all the light you need to put on makeup, etc. Keep your bathroom or dressing room area light on and there will be plenty of light. I especially like the large size mirror; if you compare sizes across mirrors you will note that this is one of the largest. I am very pleased with the mirror. Sandra Damico

I think it really depends on where you plan on installing it; if you are looking to brightly illuminate an area, then this is a poor choice. However, if you are looking to provide "some lighting" where you can (at least) see around, then this is fine. I use mine on a balcony where I wanted some soft lighting to enjoy my view of the stars without attracting unwanted pests. I found this lighting perfect for my desires.

I believe it's trying to suggest for makeup purposes it's a more natural light. When you plug it in the light comes on. I just installed mine today. It works fine.

This is a great light for accent. The illumination is very diffused and would not work well for primary lighting. I hope this helps.

It is not very bright except right at the edges. So you have to have it in a well-lit area to be functional but then your face casts shadows in the middle. But if you are looking at a part of your face that's near the lit edges, then it's good. Overall I like the mirror, mostly for it's compact design (easy to pack and move around) and extreme magnification, but the dim lighting in the middle is a negative.

Don't no the exacted weight but I would say about a pd or so. I wouldn't recommend this light. The lighting isn't very good at all . I have got two different makeup mirrors in the last Month and don't like either. Better luck to you. I am having a very hard time sending them back.

WE have a small bathroom, about 6 x 8 with no windows and it provides plenty of illumination for us to shower, clean bathroom etc. I wouldn't use it to put makeup on and we have a separate vanity area but this is the only light in the bathroom itself and we are very pleased with the lighting.

Hi, you would get plenty of light. I have this lamp on my bathroom and I live it. Super recommend.

I like this mirror, I think the brightness and tone of the lighting is worth it. I am a little disappointed because the mirror on mine won't stay in the position I place it in. I think my makeup looks good in daylight as the bulbs are meant to mimick natural lighting and I don't notice any differences. I can't give any opinion on how it looks under flourescent lighting or evening (low lighting). I like this mirror because it is bright and the tone of the bulbs match natural lighting, the close-up mirror is great, almost too good as I notice every little detail on my face!

I don't know if it is for a make up mirror or not. I bought a craft lamp and it takes a bulb like this but don't have a make up mirror so i don't know if it the right bulb for that or not. Sorry can't answer that question. I would hate to tell you wrong and you order the wrong bulb. But thanks for asking the question.

I think it would be to bright. I installed in a small galley style kitchen. It's almost as bright as daylight on a sunny day. Great light but not soft.

I don't think it would give enough light for your purposes . Think of it as a good closet light or as a work lamp.

This is not that bright only because it's designed to shine downward. It's for a hallway or a staircase. It works fine for my application but I wish it was slightly brighter.

No. We use this over the vanity mirror and it works well but will definitely not light the entire room.
