It's actually simple: The more the magnification, the smaller a "picture" of the available light you are getting - hence the more magnification, the darker the image looks. It works the same way with an astronomical telescope: The more magnification you use (assuming the objective lens doesn't change) the dimmer the object gets. To put it another way - there is a big difference between how high a magnification you are using, and how much light is reaching your eye.

For a higher magnification, more light is needed than a lower magnification which needs less.

What is a Low Illumination Camera?

The "Illumination" is measured by "foot candles." According to Engineering Tool Box: "A foot candle is actually one lumen of light density per square foot, one lux is one lumen per square meter." Engineering Tool Box also states that the recommended indoor illumination level is 500 to 1,000 lux. However, the light level may increase to 2,000 in areas where detailed work is being done, such as in a workshop or office. Classrooms and some offices may have lux levels of 250, and the areas with lux levels below 250 are considered "Low Illumination". For example, Most homes, warehouses and theaters have lux levels around 150; A working area where visual tasks are sometimes performed; like a storage closet, may have a lighting level of 100 to 150 lux. Areas where individuals spend a short amount of time and do not undertake visual tasks may have light levels of 50 to 100 lux. Public areas that have dark surroundings, like parking garages, may have lux levels of 20 to 50. Low Illumination Camera which can work in weak light condition is a kind of Hidden and (or) Security Camera, involving Moon type, Star type and IR type. Such high sensitivity cameras as Moon grade and Star grade can normally work in tiny light condition and 1~3 Lux is the general illumination. Moon type: normal work needs around 0.1 lux illumination. Star type: normal work needs below 0.01 lux illumination. IR type: IR light source, even can image Black/White picture in 0 lux condition.

What are the sizes and magnification ranges I can find in cosmetic mirrors ?

Magnification Mirrors range in all sizes of cosmetic mirrors, the magnification itself is the important spec. They can range from 1X to 5X to even 10X. The consumer is the one who decides what on their face they look at, needs what magnification. If a person applies makeup or plucking their eyebrows or just has weak eye sight, 1-5x may be all that's needed. To look at the pores and blemishes in a more detailed mirror, 10x is the way to go.
