  • Patent number: 7506992
    Abstract: The LED cap light has a housing with an arcuate top surface. LED's on the housing front surface are disposed at intervals along a laterally extending arc. A power switch is on the housing bottom. A battery is inside the housing. Electronic circuitry in the housing is responsive to the power switch to select at least one central LED for illumination while the remaining LEDs are powered off, and to select the remaining LEDs for illumination while the at least one central LED is powered off, and to power off all LEDS. The at least one central LED is designed to emit a substantially monochromatic primary color. Two steel spring clips are attached to the housing and extend above the top surface of the housing. Spring clip surfaces contact the housing top surface to provide a resilient frictional force for attachment to a hat visor.
