Abstract:
1. A headlight system, comprising a headband, a headlamp mounted on said headband, a light source, and a fiber optic cable having one end connected to said light source and an opposite end tip connected to said headlamp, said headlamp including: an upper assembly having a cable mounting module and a core module, said cable mounting module having a port for releaseably engaging said end tip of said fiber optic cable and said core module housing at least one lens, said cable mounting module being telescopically engageable with said core module and being moveable and lockable at fixed positions relative to said core module without disassembly of said headlamp to adjust a distance between said end tip of said fiber optic cable and said lens in said core module; and an elbow assembly connected to said core module of said upper assembly and having a mirror and an exit lens; whereby, adjusting said distance between said end tip of said fiber optic cable and said lens in said core module permits said headlamp to produce a sharply defined spot of light with substantially even brightness throughout and a less sharply defined spot of light with intense brightness in a center of the spot fading off towards peripheral edges of the spot.
