Streamlight 69140 Vantage LED Helmet Mounted Flashlight, Black

Great light, very bright, and so easy to operate!

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.

My bother and I are on a rural volunteer fire dept. and both have this light on out helmets. We have had them for about a year now and the light has been terrific. It has performed perfect in structure fires and plenty of night fires and held up well and the light is extremely bright. The blue light is bright as well and lets people know were you are. I can see were my brother is at all times even if I can't see him through the smoke I can see that blue light. I was reluctant to purchase this light at first because of the price but I have no regrets at all. I would highly recommend this light to any one that wants a GOOD helmet light. The battery's are easy to find and last well. They are just a CR-123a lithium battery that you can pick up at your local store. I have not had a single issue with this light.

Streamlight is top tier.

Would give it 5 stars if not for the overly hard to move swivel to position the light where I needed it. Almost sent it back, but put it in the vice at the hall and finally got it to budge. Great positioning on the helmet and have it set up to shine right where I am looking. Takes up minimal space unlike other helmet lights and was easy to put on after getting the light to move as it should. Wish it was just a tad brighter, but it does indeed get the job done and for the compact size, I am more than happy.

I bought this for my son who is a fireman. He fought a fire early this morning and said he loves it! It has added another layer to his safety with this attaches to his helmet. It allows him a better view when inside fighting fires.

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
