1. A lighted inspection mirror, comprising:
an inspection tool having a mirror and a substantially elongate handle mounted directly to the mirror, the mirror having a reflective front surface and a back surface; and
an enclosed and self-contained light member mounted to the back surface of the mirror, wherein the light member comprises:
an enclosed plastic compartment defining an enclosed inner space and having a rim extending forwardly around at least a portion of an edge of the mirror and at least two clips extending inwardly from the rim over an edge of the mirror, a light bulb and a power source in the enclosed inner space, the light bulb being operatively connected to the power source through wiring in the enclosed inner space.
2. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the light member is a substantially round structure having at least two clips for holding the light member to the mirror.
3. The apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the light member has an edge and a rim along the edge, and wherein the clips extend radially inwardly from the rim.
4. The apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising a notch in the rim for accommodating a handle of the mirror.
5. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light member has an edge and a rim along the edge, and a plurality of notches in the rim for accommodating a handle of the mirror in different positions.
6. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light bulb is positioned along an edge of the light member.
7. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the light bulb is positioned at a center of the light member.
8. A lighted inspection mirror, comprising:
an inspection tool having a mirror and a substantially elongate handle mounted directly extending from and pivotable relative to the mirror, the mirror having a reflective front surface and a back surface; and
an enclosed and self-contained light member mounted to the back surface of the mirror, wherein the light member comprises:
an enclosed plastic compartment defining an enclosed inner space and having a rim extending forwardly around at least a portion of an edge of the mirror and an extension of at least a portion of the rim extending inwardly from the rim over an edge of the mirror so as to engage the edge of the mirror; a light bulb and a power source in the enclosed inner space, the light bulb being operatively connected to the power source through wiring in the enclosed plastic compartment.
9. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the light member is adapted for releasable connection to the back surface of the mirror.
10. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the light member is a substantially round structure and wherein the extension of at least a portion of the rim comprises at least two clips for holding the light member to the mirror.
11. The apparatus of claim 10 , wherein the light member has an edge and a rim along the edge, and wherein the clips extend radially inwardly from the rim.
12. The apparatus of claim 11 , further comprising a notch in the rim for accommodating the handle of the mirror.
13. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the light member has an edge and a rim along the edge, and a plurality of notches in the rim for accommodating the handle of the mirror in different positions relative to the light member.
14. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the light bulb is positioned along an edge of the light member.
15. The apparatus of claim 14 , wherein the light bulb is positioned to shine light along a focal axis of the mirror when the light member is attached to the mirror.
16. The apparatus of claim 8 , wherein the light bulb is positioned at a center of the light member.
17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the mirror has a centrally located opening for light from the light bulb to pass through.
