Absolutely! I have been dreaming about the mirror since I first saw it! I have found this brilliant website [0] that has many of the ideas I know of. Mainly the LEDs behind the mirror [1], on the stairs [2], on the kitchen [3], and the ceiling [4]. The ceiling ones are pretty cool because they can lit up the room more homogeneously and it makes it way more relaxing and comfy. Some of these ideas help to better simulate sunlight which I find pretty stimulating.

I know of a few more that are not on the website tho! I have seen led strips on closets (ala fridge style) that light up when you open them (With something like [5]). I have also seen the opposite of the LEDs on the ceiling, on the floor. Something like [6] but in the hall is pretty cool. When you finish watching that movie/tv show and go to sleep you no longer have to choose between finding your way in the dark and getting light at your eyes.

When I get my own place, I will certainly try out all of these ideas. I find them light (hehe) years better than LEDs on computers.
