At least one of the first and second segments is movable between first and second positions. At least a portion of the light is reflected to effectuate the first light distribution when the at least one of the first and second segments is in the first position. At least a portion of the light is reflected to effectuate the second light distribution when the at least one of the first and second segments is in the second position.
