I did not want to use vanity lights above my sink in my newly remodeled bathroom and didn't have room on the sides of a mirror. After researching this type of LED illuminated mirror, I decided on this one and am very pleased with the product. I visited with a helpful salesperson from the company who steered me towards this mirror with more adequate light than others I was considering. It has a nice light for applying makeup but I also have a nice-sized window and a ceiling light. I like the sensor that turns the light on/off and the defogger works well. My carpenter found it easy to install using the included instructions. The videos online from Lighted Image were also helpful.
