Abstract: A variable-width-beam light apparatus is provided having a lamp and reflector assembly in which a lamp is supported for selective axial displacement along a longitudinal optical axis with respect to a focal point of the reflector to enable adjustment in the width or angle of divergence of an emitted beam of light. The lamp is selectively positioned by a rotatable knob carried by a lens of the assembly and positioned exteriorly at the front of the lens for operation. The rotatable knob connects with a shaft coupled by screw threads with a lamp engaging cylinder that is axially slideable in a tubular guideway such that rotational movement is translated to longitudinal movement to effect and control axial displacement of a lamp. The lamp is resiliently biased in a forward direction with respect to the lens.

Abstract: A hand-held light is provided having a belt carrying clip secured thereto to enable the ready removability of the light from a carrying position on a person's belt. The light includes a housing provided with an illumnable lamp having an exposed face from which light is emitted. Secured to the housing is a clip having an elongated, relatively narrow, belt-engaging portion that is formed from a structurally rigid material. The clip is rigidly secured at its one end to the housing and extends in superposed, overlying relationship to the face of the illuminable lamp. The belt engaging portion of the clip is positioned in relatively spaced relationship to the face of the lamp to admit the thickness of the carrying belt between the clip and the face of the lamp but is designed to frictionally interengage with said belt to retain the lamp in supported relationship.
