  • Publication number: 20070258235
    Abstract: An elliptical reflector is provided that produces a small, circular, concentrated light beam and a less bright, larger outer elliptical flood light. The outer rim of the reflector is curved, and a matching curved lens is provided for covering the outer rim of the reflector. The curved outer rim of the reflector and the curved lens permit the light beam to extend in a broader horizontal pattern of light, potentially providing close to 180 degrees of illumination. If desired, a portion of the light can be directed downward to light a dark path, for instance.

  • Patent number: 6575587
    Abstract: A light that is mounted on a clamp. The clamp is configured to be attached to different locations on a user's body, and is sufficiently sturdy so that it can support the light in an illumination direction that is fixed relative to the user's body. The light is connected by a cord to a power supply, such as a battery pack or an AC adapter. If a battery pack is used, the battery pack may also include a mechanism, such as a clip, for attaching the battery pack to the clothing or belt of a user. A headband is provided to which the clamp may be attached. The light is pivotally attached to the clamp so the light may be pivoted to illuminate in a desired direction. In addition, the light is rotatably mounted on the clamp arm, permitting the light to illuminate in a wide variety of different angles.
