Abstract
An illuminated mirror is provided that has a first light source of a first color and a second light source of a second color, a reflective surface adapted to be illuminated by the light sources, and a switch. The switch selectively controls the flow of power to the first light source, the second light source, or both light sources. Controlling the flow of power to the first light source simulates home light. Controlling the flow of power to the second light source simulates office light. Controlling the flow of power to both light sources simulates Day light.
Claims20
A variable lighted mirror, comprising:
- a first light source of a first color;
- a second light source of a second color;
- a reflective surface adapted to illuminate the face of a user with various light settings experienced by the user during the course of a day;
- and
- a switch selectively, operatively connectable to two or more nodes for controlling the flow of power to either said first light source, said second light source, or both said first and second light sources.
An illuminated mirror, comprising:
- a first plurality of incandescent lights;
- a second plurality of incandescent lights;
- a mirror adapted to illuminate the face of a user with various light settings experienced by the user during the course of a day;
- and
- a switch selectively, operatively connectable to two or more nodes for selectively controlling the flow of power to either said first plurality of incandescent lights, to said second plurality of incandescent lights, or to both said first and second pluralities of incandescent lights.
A method of illuminating a mirror adapted to be illuminated by a first plurality of incandescent lights and a second plurality of incandescent lights to one of a number of different light settings, comprising the steps of:
- providing a first plurality of incandescent lights;
- a second plurality of incandescent lights;
- a mirror adapted to illuminate the face of a user with various light settings experienced by the user during the course of a day;
- and
- a switch selectively, operatively connectable to one or more nodes for selectively controlling the flow of power to either said first plurality of incandescent lights, to said second plurality of incandescent lights, or to both said first and second pluralities of incandescent lights;
- controlling the flow of power to the first plurality of incandescent lights to illuminate the mirror in a first one of the different light settings;
- controlling the flow of power to the second plurality of incandescent lights to illuminate the mirror in a second one of the different light settings;
- and
- controlling the flow of power to both the first and second pluralities of incandescent lights to illuminate the mirror a third one of the different light settings.
