Claim 7:
8. A mirror assembly configured to provide an illuminated reflection of a user, the mirror assembly comprising:
a mirror;
at least one light source disposed at a periphery of the mirror;
a light-conveying pathway configured to receive light from the at least one light source and to convey substantially constant light along a periphery of the mirror;
a proximity sensor configured to detect a presence of the user in front of the mirror assembly; and
a controller in electrical communication with the proximity sensor, the controller being configured to activate the at least one light source to illuminate the user when the proximity sensor detects the presence of the user in front of the mirror assembly, and to deactivate the at least one light source if the proximity sensor does not detect the presence and/or movement of the user for a predetermined period of time;
wherein after the proximity sensor detects the presence of the user, the proximity sensor is configured to have increased sensitivity by increasing a trigger zone distance or by increasing the sensitivity to movement within a trigger zone.
