Abstract

A projector-type headlight for applications in the field of motor-cycles and/or motor cars which produces a high beam and a low beam comprising a light source (5), a lens (8), a reflector (3) that reflects the light produced by the light source towards the lens and a dimmer screen (2) that can be moved between two positions in a plane lying between the light source and the lens; in a first position the dimmer screen blocks part of the rays to obtain a lower beam, whilst in a second position all the light rays are allowed past in order to obtain a high beam.
