Abstract

A mirror assembly (10) including a semitransparent mirror (60) which passes about 1% to about 30 % of a broad band of visible light, and which reflects less than about 80 % of a broad band of visible light; and a light assembly (100) positioned adjacent to the semitransparent mirror and which emits visible light which is passed by the semitransparent mirror, the luminous intensity of the mirror assembly being about 0.5 to about 120 candelas.
