You have tools to use, a hose to control and lives to save. In situations where every second counts, helmet lamps free up both hands while delivering the brightness and visibility your job requires.

Complementing floodlights and other wide-scale visibility solutions, helmet-mounted lights highlight the path ahead - and everywhere you turn. You, as a result, easily identify hazards, can see if someone needs help and where they are.

About Firefighter Lights for Helmets

In terms of visibility via your helmet, you have two choices. Headlamps sit around the edge, provide a degree of visibility and help you stay seen. Helmet lights strap to the surface - either the brim or side. These mounting solutions often let you switch between handheld and hands-free use, helping you adapt based on location and hazard.

For delivering consistent, versatile illumination, firefighter helmet lights:

• Can be secured to most firefighter and safety helmets, including in multiple positions, and remain in place during demanding scenarios.
• Can be attached and secured without tools.
• Feature rugged, water-resistant construction.
• Include a rechargeable light source.
• Provide visibility from the front and back - essential for fires and rescue applications.
• Are quickly activated with an on-off switch.

Ideal for large structural fires and emergency and rescue work in rural conditions, helmet lights provide a bright, concentrated beam with a high-lumen output. The light is powerful enough to cut through smoke and illuminate terrain and hazards situated at a distance.

In addition, specialized helmet lights help a firefighter stay seen, including from behind, or provide wide-range illumination.

Types of Helmet Flashlights and Their Uses

Firefighter helmet lights use either a side- or front-mounted design. The former, based primarily on the disposable Garrity lights of the 1980s, secures to one side of the helmet with a strap or mount. Front-mounted lights, in use by wildland firefighters since the 1970s, fit around the helmet to offer a direct, if not panoramic, beam.

In either case, make sure the light you select is compatible with your helmet's design. For additional considerations:

• Select a helmet light and mount that will resist high temperatures without buckling, warping or coming apart.
• Because a right-angle light is considered a firefighter's primary source of illumination, think about why and how you'll use your helmet light, whether that's personal visibility or long-distance illumination.
• Also understand how you'll angle or maneuver the helmet light. Firefighters often keep the flashlight in a fixed position and tilt their helmets forward or back. Emergency workers, meanwhile, wear the lights around their necks. Some side-mounted lights can also be detached for occasional handheld use.
