The inside is very reflective (that is the purpose of the lining). However, when wearing it, it is not visible if you have it zipped up. The reflective dots are not everywhere. There is about a 2 inch boarder (on the inside of the jacket) on each side along the zipper that does not have the dots. So even with the coat unzipped the dots do not show very much. The jacket is very nice and you do not feel like you are a walking neon sign. This is not a problem at all!

my opinion it is quite bright. It can make driver noticeable in suburb dark street. and many flush settings can help too.

It is not as bright as it looked to be. I placed a piece of broken mirror that I had in the bottom under the LED light and the reflection from the mirror gives twice the brightness and it looks nice when it comes on after dark.

It is bright in the sense that you can see where you are going in the dark. It is not bright enough to read by and the light is diffuse, so it is not blinding. I have several around the house and never turn on a light late at night unless I need to retrieve something from the pantry or read something.

Not sure about the exact lumens, but it's very bright and visible during the daytime. The unique indicator pattern is very attention grabbing.

It is more than bright enough for my moderately dark room. In fact, I have set it to Eco mode to preserve lamp life (and reduce fan noise, which isn't that bad) and even at that reduced setting it is more than bright enough.

It is quite bright. I have two of them mounted on the each side of my front tires. At 500 lumens for each light it can be seen from well over a 100 yards. I can't say it is blinding but it does get the attention of motorists.

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.

The way I'm using it (for portraits, the room is not completely dark, and I use flashes), they are ok. I have noticed a very, very minor brightness when the flash was directed at it (i.e. I was trying to make it reflective to see how it reacts), but it was barely noticeable since I was looking for it.

It's bright, but not blinding. Just enough to let you know it's on. I have mine mounted in my jeep for my auxiliary lights. They are perfect.

It is bright enough to be seen during the day, especially if you have it on a flashing mode. It is very visible as night comes on.

I have not seen any diminishment in the brightness. This has been a great pocket light for me. Totally happy with it.

It's not really bright at all. It depends on what color you select really, but even the brightest color isn't going to blind you when driving.

it's pretty bright. i don't have glasses but it's easy to read, i don't think you'd have a problem but i guess it depends.

It is reflective and shiny. I don't have lights directly on it and I can see through to the desk, but I would get a matte version if you care about reflections.

Not very bright at all. The led is actually underneath the housing, which seems to be semi transparent in that area.

Its not very big but it is bright. You will notice it even in a well lit room or if you don't see very well.
