High visibility headlamp

A headlamp comprising:

• a strap configured to be worn over a hard hat;
• a bracket coupled to the strap;
• a first lighting assembly pivotally coupled to the bracket, the first lighting assembly including
• a first light housing enclosing a first LED,
• a battery housing enclosing a battery, the battery configured to provide power to the first LED, and
• a first actuator operable to toggle the first lighting assembly between a first plurality of operating modes including a high intensity mode, a low intensity mode, and a flashing mode;
• a second lighting assembly coupled to the strap, the second lighting assembly including
• a plurality of second LEDs, and
• a second actuator operable to toggle the second lighting assembly between a second plurality of operating modes such that the second lighting assembly is operable independently of the first lighting assembly;
• and
• a wire extending between the first lighting assembly and the second lighting assembly, the wire configured to provide power from the battery to the plurality of second LEDs, the wire including coils to permit expansion and contraction of the wire,
• wherein the first LED and the plurality of second LEDs are configured to emit white light,
• wherein the second lighting assembly extends along more than 50% of a circumference of the strap, and
• wherein the second lighting assembly is configured to distribute light at least partially around the circumference of the strap to increase visibility of a wearer of the headlamp from multiple directions.
