US 6,641,279 B1 · Dual-beam light assembly with adjustable posterior head

Abstract

A dual-beam light assembly with adjustable posterior head provides a single lighting device for providing ample light for at least two persons walking in single file in an environment devoid of light. The dual-beam light assembly with adjustable posterior head has a pair of opposed, axially oriented, light emitting heads separated by a circular, hollow barrel which houses internal components. Flashlight bulbs are wired in a parallel circuit arrangement with the only common circuit elements being the power source. Two independent switches are provided to allow the flashlight bulbs to operate independently of one another. The barrel is made of high-impact plastic. A posterior end of the barrel includes a pivot assembly allowing for selective pivotal adjustment of the second light-emitting head to a plurality of specific angular settings.
