Vanity mirror and sun visor with lighting function

A vanity mirror with lighting function, comprising:

• a mounting portion, connected to a vehicle sun visor;
• a movable portion, configured to afford an angle or a distance deviation between the mounting portion and the movable portion;
• a mirror located in the mounting portion or the movable portion;
• a power storage unit;
• a front-open sensing unit, configured to sense the angle or the distance deviation between the mounting portion and the movable portion, to determine whether the vanity mirror is in a front-open state or a folded state according to the sensing result;
• a sensing circuit, wherein when the vanity mirror is in the front-open state, the power storage unit conducts electrical power to the sensing circuit;
• and
• a light source, configured to provide lighting function, wherein in the front-open state, whether to emit light and/or intensity of the light is determined according to the sensing result of the sensing circuit;
• wherein the vanity mirror does not directly receive power from a vehicle battery or generator supplying electrical power to the vehicle;
• wherein the sensing circuit includes at least one of an ambient light sensor, a proximity sensor, and a contact sensor;
• wherein in the front-open state, whether to emit light and the intensity of the light, or whether to override previously determined intensity of the light, is determined according to a number of contacts, a time length of a contact, a time interval between two contacts, or any combination thereof, which is/are detected by the contact sensor.
