| Does anyone know if there are any deals on these right now? I just graduated from my fire academy, and am looking for a good helmet light. A lot of people in my department use the streamlight headband thing and big tube lights, but I like the small compact light. Plus I've used the TLR-1 on my Glock and like it very much (and it seems the Vantage is almost the same thing just in a different form factor). |

There is some good info in here on things that might be handy to have:

| Alright, I got it, but now I can't find a good place to mount it. I'm using a Cairns 360S structural helmet with the 4" face shield. I've tried all over, but can't find a good place that puts the beam where I want it. Should I just say screw it, any light is better then no light? Or has anyone found the sweet spot for this light and helmet combo (and no, a new helmet isn't possible, I get what I get). |

Just looked up that helmet on thefirestore.com, with such a slope on the back brim i really don't know what to tell ya. It sure wouldn't work light up but you might be able to fit it on right behind the shield hinge light down. I don't know if its even possible but maybe switch to a goggle setup and mount it in front of the hinge. I almost ran into this problem when i tried to mount my surefire w/ blackjack mount on my Cairns Invader w/ shield. |
