Adding lighting to bathroom

Lighting in the 23’ FBQ seems inadequate. One light on ceiling behind your head. Has anyone added lighting? What worked?

Makeup mirror

I removed the stock mirror and added this lighted makeup mirror.
Ovente 6.8" Lighted Wall Mount Makeup Mirror, 1X & 10X Magnifier, Adjustable Double Sided Round LED, Extend, Retractable & Folding Arm, Compact & Cordless, Battery Powered Nickel Brushed MFW70BR1X10X https://a.co/d/dbZ47dq

Makes shaving/make-up much easier to do.

I also removed the light switch and installed a dimmer switch.

I added a motion activated battery powered light under the upper cabinet and one inside the mirror. Both have been a great addition.

I think I bought them at Lowes:

I added a 12v DC LED strip on the bottom of the mirror cabinet.

Folks, just to clarify - the OP has a 23’ AS. There is no mirror/cabinet on the bath walls - just sheer aluminum.

Our bathroom light is frustrating. 2018 Bambi 16 and sometimes the light works. Other times it acts like it has a very poor motion sensor. I made sure the bulb is inserted and tight. Do I have a faulty bulb?

And the verdict is Eagletoo was right! replaced the stock mirror with the one suggested and the Wife loves it! Great upgrade and many thanks.

Also replaced the plastic arm catch with a magnet to secure the mirror during travel.
