The light is rather dim and yellow-ish. It would be nice if the light could be more like a make-up mirror...bright and easy to see details. Also, it is uncomfortable to hold this between your legs. I find I prefer to just sit down with it instead. I think it could be easy to put some sort of cushion on either side of it to make it a little easier to grasp with your thighs. Otherwise, the angle is very good for sitting down and it's definitely a good start on a design that could be quite helpful for many women!
