The department didn't issue me a light. At a recent training I found out how important it is. I saw some others with similar models of helmet lights so I got this one with a Streamlight band. It doesn't weigh very much, it's bright as can be (I don't know if somebody made a mistake but the one I received is clearly marked 200 lumen.) I haven't taken it inside a smokey environment yet to see how well it performs there.
Easy to operate with heavy gloves.
It may not look by the way it's sitting on the helmet but it shines directly in front. I like this method of attaching the light. Clamps seemed like they would get snagged.
Like everything, time will tell. In rough environments it's going to get damaged, possibly melted, we'll see.

I can't say enough about the advantages of the Gear Keeper tether. I work at night a lot and the tether allows plenty of range of motion, while making sure I never lose the light itself. The flashlight itself is very bright, rugged and visible. I recommend this product wholeheartedly.

Good little light

Doesn't fit flashlight.
