Abstract

A headlamp includes a base having a front face defining a first imaginary plane along the front face and a first imaginary line orthogonal to the first plane. A light assembly is rotatably secured about the front face to the base. The light assembly includes a bezel having a rear surface defining a second imaginary plane along the rear surface and a second imaginary line orthogonal to the second plane so that the intersection of the first line and the second line defines a rotation angle that varies with the rotation of the light assembly relative to the base, thereby changing the attitude of the headlamp light assembly.
