Abstract
An apparatus includes an auxiliary light includes a housing defining a front opening, a light emitting in the housing, and a transparent cover is mounted over the front opening. A plurality of fins are mounted to the housing and extend rearwardly from the front opening. The heights of the plurality of fins in the vertical direction decreases with distance from the front opening along the horizontal direction. This may include downward sloping outer fins and inner fins having bottom edges that include concave arcs extending upwardly. A mount secures to the housing and includes a base with a fastener overlapping a center of gravity of the light and arms that extend up to pivot points on the housing that are offset behind the center of gravity.
