1. A light system with a directable light source, the light system comprising:
- an arm having a first and a second pivot assembly associated therewith;
a light mount associated with said first pivot assembly and operable to pivot about a first pivot axis;
a light removably mounted to said light mount; and
a mount device associated with said second pivot assembly and operable for mounting to said arm to permit pivoting about a second pivot axis that is offset from the first pivot axis, the first and second pivot axes permitting multiple axis pivoting of the light.

Abstract
A light system is provided. It includes a lamp in a light assembly. The light assembly is pivotally mounted to a mount device by a pivot assembly. The light assembly may be pivoted about two different axes of rotation to direct the light at an area of interest. With the light system mounted on a person, movement by the person can redirect the light beam as desired.
