| Abstract: |
A cap lamp (5) includes a baseball-style cap (6) having a visor (16) with an underside substantially defined by a concave visor reflector (22). A light source (24) is pivotally supported under the visor for directing light at selectively adjustable angles. A first hood (36A) partially surrounds the light source for shading a user's face from light coming directly from the light source. The hood has an upward lateral opening (39) to emit light toward the visor reflector for flooding the immediate vicinity of the user with visor reflected light. A frontal opening (42) of the hood is provided for emitting a light beam forward of the visor. A concave hood reflector (40), within the hood, is provided for increasing the light directed to and reflected by the visor reflector. A second hood (36B) is supported to rotate about the first hood between open and closed positions for selectively inhibiting light communication with the visor reflector. An arcuate strip (49) is hidden within the cap to support a battery holder (54) which is electrically connected to the light source for energizing the same.
