This compact, multiple-output Helmet Light in tan features three white
LEDs, two blue LEDs, and one blinking red infrared LED that serves as a
personal Identify Friend or Foe beacon. The white LEDs are perfect for
general-purpose, close-work illumination; the blue lights serve the
same purpose in a low-signature, night-vision-friendly color.
It attaches via a special mount that clamps semi-permanently
to the rim of the helmet by means of two socket-head machine screws.
Once attached, the light can be easily slid onto the mount, where it
locks into place; depressing a small lever slides it right off.
The SureFire Helmet Light provides a compact, hands-free, low-output illumination source for navigation and close-quarter work like reading maps and documents, loading gear, or repairing equipment in the field. Made from tough, weatherproof Nitrolon® polymer and featuring virtually indestructible light-emitting diodes (LEDs), the lightweight Helmet Light attaches directly to the side of any TC 2000 MICH (Modular Integrated Communications Helmet). The watertight unit uses a single 123A lithium battery and six LEDs to produce three different types of light at multiple power levels.
While designed primarily for military and SWAT applications, the SureFire Helmet Light is also an option for caving, climbing, construction, or search-and-rescue operations — pretty much any activity involving wearing a helmet and requiring low-output, hands-free illumination.
