Abstract
A rear-beveled mirror has backlighting located near the beveled areas. The beveled areas, having the backlighting, may be located in at least two opposite sides of the mirror. The angle of the bevel may be adjusted so that the backlighting may pass through the bevel and focus on a subject standing at a typical distance away from the mirror. This typical distance may vary with the type of mirror that includes the backlighting. For example, a make-up mirror may focus the light for use from about 1-2 feet away from the mirror; and a bathroom vanity mirror may focus the light for use from about 2-4 feet away from the mirror.
