Abstract
A vehicle sun visor includes a visor body, a mirror mounted to the visor body, and a mirror cover slidably movable relative to the visor body along a reflective surface of the mirror between a closed position substantially covering the reflective surface of the mirror and an opened position for uncovering the reflective surface. A lighting device serves to illuminate a driver or a passenger when the mirror is used. A light control device serves to turn the lighting device from off to on as the mirror cover slides from the closed position to the opened position. The light control device also serves to control the intensity of light emitted from the lighting device in response to the position of the mirror cover.
