Started great. Lasted only a year. Disappointed. [SEP] UPDATE: Stopped working after a year. Very disappointing for the money I paid.  Great in theory, poor in quality.<br />Bought this for my 91 year old mother.  She really loves it!  Not only is it elegant, but it's sturdy, and she loves the versatility of using both battery power and A/C adapter.  She's not sure yet which light setting (warm, natural or cool) best hides her wrinkles, but with macular degeneration, it's a blessing to have the magnification.  You don't think about these things, but it does help her!  The touch for on/off is really wonderful.  She doesn't have to hunt for a switch.  :-)  I do not recommend this product.
