Abstract: A makeup mirror having a light source configured to have output that not only enhances the visibility of objects as they are reflected by the mirror, but also optimizes visual acuity of the reflected image as captured by the human eye. In some cases, the makeup mirror allows for separate adjustment of the mirror and the light source, which, in combination with the light source, enables the reflected objects to be lit in uniform manner and for optimized human visual acuity while allowing for areas of the objects to be examined in detail as desired.

Abstract: An adjustable lamp assembly involving a plurality of operably-coupled sections that function together and allow the assembly to be selectively adjustable between a retracted configuration and an extended configuration. In the retracted configuration, an extendable portion of the assembly is effectively concealed from view; while in the extended configuration, the extendable portion is positioned in view and oriented as desired. When using such lamp assembly, the assembly can be selectively adjusted between having a clean and shallow profile that enhances its aesthetic appearance and having a diffuse and extended profile that enhances its efficiency for a user.
