Abstract: A light apparatus consisting of a cover, light source and activation device provides for greater illumination in the area of a wall mounted mirror. The cover is pivotable between a closed and open position. When in the open position the activation device will cause illumination of the light source. When the cover is in the closed position, the activation device will turn off the light source. In the closed position, the cover hides the light source and activation device from view. The light source may be either mounted on or movable with the cover or may be mounted stationarily within a housing. The light apparatus may be mounted beneath a mirror or on each side of the mirror. Additionally, the light apparatus may be built into the wall or may be mounted on the wall upon which the mirror is mounted. This light apparatus provides for additional illumination which may be used in shaving, applying makeup, or any other task involving a wall mounted mirror.
