How is the lighting from above? Does it produce any unwanted shadows? We have a very large mirror so we will have to mount it up high.

Not that I know of. I used three as makeup lights so no experience with high up

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.

I have this beautiful light fixture in my kitchen. It is not a huge kitchen and the ceiling are about 7.5 to 8 feet high and it looks lovely in this area. It does cast some prism type effects from the design but it is really pretty don't think it would effect reading as I do that a lot in my kitchen. I don't think it would disturb TV viewing the shadows it casts are close to the ceiling and upper walls. Hope this helps. Jeanne Fitzpatrick Andover, MA USA

More or less. I actually prefer to use it in natural daylight without the light. But if you don't have access to natural light or tend to use the mirror when it's dark out, the light let you see very clearly.

It is an up light but it provides lots of light. Mine is over a vanity mirror and it works great.

Because its wide angle, it does pretty good in normal inside room lighting. It is about 160º wide angle I think. About equal to a 22mm. Hope this helps.

Its very bright and you cannot adjust the intensity. I usually put it on a tripod and point it toward the ceiling to give back light instead of straight on. Pictures don't look washed out though. Hope this helps

It produces a good amount of light, but the light is filtered through the crystals, so it's not very intense. I have it as the main light source in a 10x12' room and it works great. Might need to turn on a lamp if I was reading though. Not sure it'd work great in a large room. I do love this light though.

I would say it's not dark at all. It looks like shiny chrome. It's a mirror. And I I have it in my 61 reissue gs in both positions. I like them.

Ours hasn't done that. We have it in the dining room, so it's not always on. However, when it is on, I haven't noticed many shadows.

I have the light mounted about nine feet high, above an outside entrance. At that height the light provides very good, even illumination in a circle of about a ten foot radius. When I say very good illumination, I could certainly read under it, at least for a while. The light has a blue hue that looks a little harsh...I'd prefer a warmer color temperature but if that's my only complaint...

I'm an old bald guy, so makeup mirrors are not my strong point, but yes, I think so. I use it in a floor-mounted reading lamp where it does well. I would say it acts like a 40 watt incandescent, a little warmer than many LEDs. I think the very low heat production would be good in the make-up mirror.

The light is not real bright, but I've never found any of the lighted mirrors to be real bright, which is Ok for me as my main requirement for mirror use is the magnification.

Hi Christie, I also bought the mirror and after one day one of the lights stopped working and the button to turn it on and off was faulty. I actually think the mirror is made very poorly, no ghost, just a very cheaply made product. That's my option anyway. It's a shame because I have not found a makeup mirror as bright as this one again, I really wished it worked. If you know of another one with great lighting please let me know. Regards Catherine.

When applying my makeup it comes out looking GREAT versus using any other mirror. The lighting is perfect so you can't overdo the makeup... I believe the mirror is awesome. My daughter loves it too.

It's difficult to shoot from directly above because of the light fixture, but you can get pretty close. I use museum wax to get the items at the right angle. I also loosely wrapped the light in tracing paper to minimize reflection.

The light comes with a bracket which can be tilted up or down. The light pattern is wide, so if you mount this light high, you will illuminate a large area. You will need to build your own mount for this light as it is heavy and DOES NOT come with a mounting bracket. I built my own quite easily and for the price was well worth the minor effort.
