An illumination system for a hat is provided. The system includes a light pivotally
connected to an attachment mechanism constructed of hook and latch material. The
hook and latch material is provided around an adjustment band of a typical "baseball
cap." Batteries and a touch sensitive switch are coupled to the light with the
touch sensitive switch facing inward. The cap is usable in its standard orientation
during the day to shield the suns rays from the user's eyes. At night, or indoors,
the cap may be reversed. Whereas in the standard orientation the touch sensitive
switch is blocked from contact with the skin by the user's hair, in the reversed
orientation the touch sensitive switch contacts the user's forehead, thereby actuating
the light automatically for use.
