I see these come in a 1 light and 2 light option - which one is most suitable for a cosmetic mirror? I'd like to use full spectrum LED bulbs.

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

It look's easy, there are two screw's, one on each side of mirror, remove them & separate sides, replace bulb. I hope you find this helpful.

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!

Instead of one at the top of the mirror horizontally, I put one vertically on each side of the mirror. I absolutely LOVE them and they are plenty bright, though some people I've showed them to think they are a bit bright for the area (8' x 4' vanity area - the 4' being side-to-side and 8' being front-to-back). They don't bother me at all.

This takes a 25 watt bulb, the kind in small night lights. This mirror, set on high, has more than enough light. Good luck.

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 bought 4 of these http://www.amazon.com/Lemonbest-Dimmable-PAR20-LED-Light/dp/B00AO178TQ/ref=cm_cd_al_qh_dp_t and 4 of these http://www.amazon.com/KOBI-ELECTRIC-8-watt-White-Dimmable/dp/B008C0VKJU/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1383975000&sr=8-5&keywords=Kobi+led. The Lemonbest has a 45 degree beam, which is pretty narrow, almost like a spotlight. Put the Lemonbest in the small recessed cans in my bedroom, but beam is too narrow. These lights however, look out standing in the bathroom fixture over the mirror. I used one of these http://www.amazon.com/Cree-9-5-Watt-White-2700K-Light/dp/B00BYG7O8A/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1383975347&sr=8-2&keywords=Cree+led as the middle bulb for general bathroom lighting, and put the Lemonbest on either side. Makes the Bathroom look more modern, and provides superb lighting when doing surgery. Lemonbest bulb is light weight but is not stamped UL on it. The Kobi light has a hefty heat sink that dissipates heat, which is a killer of led's. The Kobi is well made, well packaged and is UL listed. Tonight, we put the Kobis in my daughters bedroom, and the are much brighter than the PAR 45 watt. Not quite as soft of lighting as she wants for a bedroom. I'm going to try them as I like a bright light. The dimmers were installed in the house 4 yrs ago for CFL and are compatible with both the Lemonbest and the Kobi. Bottom Line: the Kobi is well designed, and a higher quality bulb.

No, they are not switched. I would not recommend this light for a mirror. It would throw too much light back at your eyes. Just my thinking.

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 don't know about that. I looked for several months before I bought this bulb for my makeup mirror. I bought this bulb and one other hoping that at least one of them would work. Both fit, so I was happy. I looked at the measurements for my old bulb and compared the best that I could before ordering it. Good luck!

I recommend a full spectrum unit (not just blue and white bulbs). The model i bought from TaoTronics (the TT-AL12) is no longer for sale, but it had red and green bulbs, as well as two different 'white' bulbs. This seems to be the trend of the higher-end manufactures like Eco-Tech as well.

I always go ahead and swap bulbs to LED type that are 1 or 2 watts each bulb and can have many more lights for the same wattage transformer. You then have the option of getting a lower wattage transformer to make the system even more efficient. And with a 50,000 hour life, you won't be changing bulbs anymore.

They are a perfectly round globe shape and I personally think would be fine for vanity mirror in the bathroom. These bulbs a're nice I have a mine in a ceiling fan and reading lamp. Great bright immediate light. Very happy w price n eco friendly function.

These are a very normal looking bulbs both when on and off. Orientation, housing design, and bulb visibility should not be an issue. Other bulbs like the Philips Slim Style LED bulbs are flat and just look weird when the bulb is visible, or the orientation of the fixture threads aren't just perfect. (You don't want to see that slim bulb from the side in your vanity fixture!)

The blue light is brighter than the clear and it might be the light that changes brightness levels for the mirror. If you don't want to change between day, night, office modes than you should be able to use two clear bulbs.
