A vehicle sun visor module includes a ceiling component, which forms at least part of a ceiling of a vehicle, and a vehicle sun visor module, which is arranged to be adjacent to the ceiling component. The vehicle sun visor includes a visor main body, which is configured to be pivotal relative to the ceiling component between a use position and a retracted position, and a mirror attached to the visor main body. The ceiling component includes a lighting device, which is configured to radiate light into a passenger compartment, and an inductive switch, which turns on the lighting device when set to an ON state and turns off the lighting device when set to an OFF state. The vehicle sun visor includes a magnet that is configured to switch the inductive switch between the ON state and the OFF state.

An illumination unit for an interior chamber of a vehicle includes at least one light source integrated into a surface side of a sun shield facing towards an occupant in a non-usage position of the sun shield. The at least one light source emits light in the activated state which is directed towards the occupant. A covering element is provided for covering a light outlet surface of the light source.

A vehicle lighting device and a method of controlling luminance thereof are provided. The vehicle lighting device includes a camera module configured to capture an image of the driver's face, a sensing unit configured to detect the surroundings of a vehicle, a lighting unit including at least one light source to illuminate the interior of the vehicle, and a controller. The controller is configured to acquire information on a daytime mode and a nighttime mode through the sensing unit, to acquire information on an infrared brightness level or information on the size of the pupil of the driver's eye based on the image of the driver's face captured by the camera module, and to control the luminance of the lighting unit in response to the acquired information.
