Streamlight 69140 Vantage Hands-Free Helmet 140-Lumen Flashlight, Black

This light mounts very well to a helmet. It’s easy to adjust the angle and turn on and off with gloved hands. Batteries aren’t cheap but they last a while. The light is a bright, focused beam as well, which I prefer to ones that just spread out

It showed up on a Monday, put it on my helmet and got it adjusted. Its pretty bright. I was worried about the weight of it as others I've experienced you can really feel on your head, this one is barely noticeable which is great. Sure enough had a working structure fire that night. While I have a LED light on my turnout gear, its not always pointing where I am looking. Having this lined up for where my face is looking is great, and it performed great. It was bright enough where I could see what I was doing in heavy smoke. Any heavier, no light would have made any difference, so it performed as well as my "big" chest light. I was absolutely soaked and covered in debris, but the light worked and the mount held up fine. I can't speak to the longevity of the battery, but it took a beating within hours of me setting it up and I was happy with the visual performance. Really easy to turn on and off with fire gloves on.

Being a career firefighter, and in the fire service for more than. 20 years, I rely on my gear alot. Off duty I run a similar light on several of my rifles the TLR 1, and use alot of streamlight products on the job, so I new I was getting quality. It fit my paul conway traditional helmet without the shims, it feels nice and secure. It also does not add any noticeable weight also a plus. Its plenty bright, and looking forward to using it, and several of the guys have expressed interest in the vantage. I am definately gonna put it through some real world abuse, and hope it can hold up to the heat. But this is way better than lugging around a box light, or survivor strapped to your coat. Not sure how the batteries will hold up when exposed to extreme heat being they are lithium, but I have my fingers crossed. Any advantage I can get, I gladly except. So far I am happy with it. This was the second I purchased for the wife, who is also a career firefighter, she loves it.

Great quality as with all Streamlight product. A great addition to my fire helmet.

Battery life is pretty weak ,but it has gotten a lot of use in fire so I could have forgotten to turn it off an ran out the battery anyways the battery’s lasted like 2 months so it’s pretty decent. Brightness is good in a fire scenario or catching a hydrant at night or night time car crashes and the durability is definitely there it takes a beating on my helmet and it still works good as new ,but the metal battery tab in it is kinda weak and deforms so changing battery or keeping them is a pain

I got to use the vantage on a house fire for the first time this morning. This thing is super bright. So bright that when I look at people, they'd look away. I forgot I had the thing on! The mounting of the light is very secure. However, I have a visor on my helmet. The light works awesome when the visor is up, but it will be partially blocked when the visor is down. I don't see a big problem with this unless your doing mop ups or extrications when the visor needs to be down. All the guys on scene were asking about it, so they seemed impressed as well. The blue light on the light was great too. I obviously didn't notice it, but my guys on the hose line could see me as I moved around in thick smoke down to knee level. They seemed to think it was easy to see. Update: Feb 26 We had a tech rescue this morning. Guy fell 30 feet into a well, early morning, and very dark. I had the light on my helmet when my captain and I dropped down with the patient. The light worked well, but in a confined space the thing is super bright. It's awesome for working around a house or a large area, but the intensity of the light and the straight focused beam is something to keep in mind in a situation where space is confined. It worked great of course, but just be aware of where that thing is pointing. All in all, it's an awesome light... highly recommended.

Bought for my grandson as graduation gift after completing the fire academy. He’s been very happy with the performance.

I bought this June of 2023. Still holding strong. Easy to mount, easy to turn on and off with gloves on.

The overall quality of the torch is excellent but with one major flaw, the incredibly hard to use clip that holds the batteries in. The clip is so hard to close that it would be impossible to do it with the torch on a helmet, even off the helmet it is extremely hard to close the clip. The instructions suggest holding the clip against a heavy hard object to enable the clip to be closed, right there having to explain that the clip is troublesome should have been a warning sign to the designers.

I replaced a previous model of Streamlight with this (4AA model). This is much smaller, much brighter and easier to use than what I had before. It does come with a pair of CR-123 lithium cells. It's a little tough to close the battery door, but you will get the hang of it. Note that the polarity for the batteries is not marked on the inside of the battery compartment. It is actually on the outside of the housing. I just replaced my first set of batteries, run time seems to be many many hours, so very pleased with this. Quality of this light is 100%!

Excelente luz muy brillante y de buen tamaño y muy resistente

Se ajusta a cada uno de mis cascos de rescate y emergencias

Have been using for two years and am pleased with the brightness and battery life. Still going strong, changed batteries after one year, second change due this week. Batteries readily available. Attaches nicely, stays put, super bright. Wish I'd got a unit with push-button on-off, since it can be challenging to operate small twist knob with fire fighting gloves, but satisfied over all and would recommend.
