5. The headlight assembly of claim 4 , wherein the second light source comprises light-emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted to the PCB.
6. The headlight assembly of claim 1 , further comprising a lens mounted to the cover member such that the lens is received into the mounting recess and covers the second light source.
7. The headlight assembly of claim 6 , wherein the lens does not cover the aperture.
8. A mower comprising:
a chassis;
a cutting apparatus movably coupled to the chassis;
a frame coupled to the chassis; and
a headlight assembly coupled to the frame, the headlight assembly comprising:
a cover member defining an aperture, the cover member having a front portion, a first side extending from the front portion, and a second side, opposite the first side, also extending from the front portion, wherein the cover member further comprises a mounting recess that extends from the first side, across the front portion, to the second side;
a first light source adapted to be at least partially received within the aperture, wherein the first light source is configured to illuminate a first area in front of the mower; and
a second light source coupled to the cover member, the second light source being disposed within the mounting recess of the cover member and extending from the first side, across the front portion, to the second side of the cover member, wherein the second light source is configured to illuminate a second area at least partially around the mower.
9. The mower of claim 8 , wherein the second area extends in an angular range of more than 180 degrees.
10. The mower of claim 8 , wherein the first light source comprises a lamp.
11. The mower of claim 8 , wherein the second light source comprises a printed circuit board (PCB) having a flexible structure allowing the second light source to be mounted within the mounting recess and is contoured along a length of the mounting recess from the first side, to the front portion, to the second side.
12. The mower of claim 11 , wherein the second light source comprises light-emitting diodes (LEDs) mounted to the PCB.
13. The mower of claim 8 , wherein the headlight assembly further comprises a lens mounted to the cover member such that the lens covers the second light source.
14. The mower of claim 13 , wherein the lens curves around a lower side of the aperture and does not cover the aperture.
15. A headlight assembly for a mower, the headlight assembly comprising:
a cover member defining an aperture, the cover member having a front portion, a first side extending from the front portion, and a second side, opposite the first side, also extending from the front portion, wherein the cover member further comprises a mounting recess that extends from the first side, across the front portion, to the second side;
a first light source adapted to be at least partially received within the aperture, wherein the first light source is configured to illuminate a first area in front of the mower;
a second light source coupled to the cover member, the second light source being disposed within the mounting recess of the cover member and extending from the first side, across the front portion, to the second side of the cover member, wherein the second light source is configured to illuminate a second area extending at least partially around the mower; and
a lens mounted to the cover member such that the lens covers the second light source.
16. The headlight assembly of claim 15 , wherein the lens curves around a lower side of the aperture and does not cover the aperture.
17. The headlight assembly of claim 15 , wherein the second area extends in an angular range of more than 180 degrees.
18. The headlight assembly of claim 15 , wherein the first light source comprises a lamp.
