Abstract
A cap lamp features a housing. A control module is positioned within the housing and includes a multi-function switch, a circuit board and contacts adapted to receive power from a battery. An optic module is also positioned within the housing and in engagement with the control module. The optic module includes a light emitting diode (LED) module and an integrated reflector and heat sink as well as an insulator. A bezel is fastened to the housing so as to secure the control module and optic module within the cap lamp housing. A pushbutton is positioned on the housing and is connected to the multi-function switch. A backup LED is in communication with the multi-function switch so that the main LED light or the backup LED may alternatively be selected.
