Fixed-beam headlights reduce a rider's intended visual field by pointing away from a corner during turning. A system is presented for improving visibility in dark conditions on a motorcycle. It relates to adaptively controlling headlight orientation. Based on sensor data, the headlight beam is rotated independently in three degrees of freedom, in real time. This maintains illumination of the road ahead, even when cornering, and reduces the blinding of oncoming traffic. High beam and low beam operation is accommodated, including dimmable high beams. The beam is directed with three independent motors in one embodiment, by the switching of light-emitting diodes in an array in another embodiment, or using a hybrid motorized and solid-state system. The adaptive headlights are suitable for craft other than motorcycles.
