Abstract
A visor with an illuminated vanity assembly comprising a base with a closable cover. A dimmer switch is provided on the base for controlling the light output of the illuminated vanity assembly. The dimmer switch comprises a slidable switch electrically coupling a light source contact and a resistor whereby the sliding of the switch relative to the resistor changes the resistance in the circuit to control the light output from the light source.
