I can't figure out how 600 lux compares to other lighted mirrors. Anyone know the wattage or lumens output of this light?

After trying out several mirrors,this is the only one that I found to be worthy to put on my makeup table. It has a nice bright clean light with just the correct amount of magnification. The automatic sensor turns it on and off so you can use both hands to put on your makeup nicely. I can take it on trips and not worry about plugging it in . It holds a great charge for a long time. I am not sure about the lumens but it is nice and bright,however not blinding like some other mirrors I tested. I give it 5 stars and then some.

It's the BEST LIGHTED MIRROR OUT THERE /. BUT IT IS ALWAYS 5X Magnification / it doesn't Flip Around to a Normal Mirror ( Which is the Only Drawback )

There are no wattage markings on the mirror or on the power supply. IMO the light ring provides very even, shadowless and optimally bright light - there's plenty of light but it's not so bright that it hurts your eyes. The mirror is also much larger than I expected (bigger than a salad plate), so it's easy to see your entire face.

I think the label on the fixture says 60 watts. I used an LED 60W equivalent ( I think about 9 watts) and get plenty of light from it.

It's the total. Here's what the package says: Light Output (Lumens) 830, Watts 14.6, Lumens per Watt (Efficacy) 57. So 14.6 x 57 = 832.20. "Visit www.lightingfacts.com for the Label Reference Guide."

someone else answered that the manufacturers spec says 660w. I use a 250w heat lamp in mine without real issue. what I take issue with is the switch mechanism. it does not hold up the way the fixture does as it is made of cheap plastic and does not seem to be replaceable in itself. my last fixture I used for about a year and a half without a switch, just loosening or tightening the bulb to turn on/off.

Its honestly not much more for a 600 watt bulb and its akways best to keep the bulb and ballast matched...you can always dim the 600 watt...just a suggestion. I would hate to see someone loose money on a ballast due to mix matched wattages...be safe rather than sorry. I hope this helped.

I use 60 watt Clear (incandescent) light bulbs. I prefer those because of the way the light is cast. I have never seen them with flourescent bulbs or standard opaque bulbs, I just know that the light (to me) cast off all of my lamps is better and more crisp with a clear, incandescent bulb. I am not at home to check at this momennt, but I am fairly certain 60W is the maximum/recommended wattage. It sends out lots of light. In addition, I get so many compliments on these lamps, I wish I had more of them!!!

This fixture doesn't use a 3-watt LED. This fixture uses a 1-watt LED. The manufacturer doesn't do a good job of making this clear.The fixture consumes 3 watts total. 2 watts are lost in the power regulator; 1 watt is consumed by the LED.I've compared this fixture side-by-side to a 200 lumen fixture, and it's about half as bright, maybe less. I'd guess that it's realistically about 80 lumens.

This model is 500 lumens. I doubt you would be able to tell the difference between the two different powers.

I'm using it just fine in a non-dimmable sockets. It looks full to me... And I would suggest the 60W equivalent... Don't think you'll need the 100W - but of course, up to you. It's wonderful lighting either way. Enjoy!

I'd say its much closer to 60W. Plenty of light for typical indoor use, but not super-bright.

if it is the newer one with the Cree XM-L2 and not the XM-L U2 then the rating will be 2900 lumens. the opposite is true about the 2600 lumen rating. as of right now, the most likely one is the older, 2600 lumen model.

I have not measured it using a "actual usage" meter, but mine is a 65W and having researched it I remember other people reporting the very same thing. I am using this light for Aquarium purposes and so for me the actual wattage is not what is important...it is the actual lumens produced and the color in Kelvins that makes the difference. For my aquarium uses, I found this bulb to produce outstanding results.

I am pretty sure that it is a 60 watt. I was not pleased. I used it in a front porch light. The light was in a wet area. It shattered within a few days of putting it in. They refunded my money quickly I bought one at Home Depot, different brand, and it has been fine.

I'm not sure what the lux number means but it is 26W, equivalent to 100W. The brightness is 1600 lumens

The one I received is not as bright as a 500 watt halogen fixture, although it is still very bright. The manufacturer claims 4500 lumens.

the box states that it is rated at 617 lumens. I agree with the previous post that is about that of a clear 60watt bulb or just a little less. very good fixture. I recommend.
