Abstract
A portable light that is hands-free, out of the way, adjustable, and automatically directed to the user's line of sight by virtue of his head movement. This is accomplished by taking a topless hat, commonly known as the visor, and building around it to form a portable light that is worn on the head. Said visor would have battery casing molded at the base of the brim closest to the forehead to minimize the downward pull of the battery's weight. The bulb assembly housing unit is attached to the front of the brim by means to allow pivotal movement thus allowing for the light to he directed forward or downward, or at any angle in between.
