ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for illuminating the area in front of a person without requiring the use of the person's hands, by suspending from the neck of the person a housing containing at least one LED light source emitting a light beam extending forwardly from the person, a battery power supply for the light source, and a switch connected between the light source and the power supply for energizing and de-energizing the light source. The housing is shaped to rest against the chest of the person so that the direction of the light beam remains substantially stable. The housing may be pivotable relative to a connector to permit the light beam from the light source to be directed forwardly from the person through a preselected range of angles both above and below a horizontal axis.
