How impressive is the wow factor of infinity mirrors?

The lighted tunnel is key in how impressive an infinity mirror can be. That is a big part of the WOW factor. Any infinity mirror that is less than 2″ deep will only produce about a 2 ft long lighted tunnel effect. A 1″ deep infinity mirror will produce about a 1 ft tunnel.
