Patent ID: 6877875

Claim:
A headlamp comprising: a base having a first surface adapted to bear against a user's forehead and defining a first plane and a first normal line to the first plane; a front face inclined downward relative to said first surface by a first angle; a light assembly including: a bezel having a rear surface rotatably supported relative to the front face of the base and a front surface inclined relative to said rear surface by a second angle; a battery case attached to said bezel and defining a closed volume between the battery case and the bezel; a battery located within said volume; a generally circular reflector disposed at least in part within said volume; a plurality of light emitters received in said reflector, said emitters adapted when energized to project a beam of light through the front surface of the bezel with the reflector internally reflecting light from the light sources to create a more uniform illumination field; and a switch connected between said battery and said light emitter; whereby rotation of the bezel relative to said base rotates the beam of light from a direction parallel to the normal line to a downward direction inclined relative to the normal line by the first angle plus the second angle.
