Seth_Erebor Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Looking for recommendations for a helmet light () that has the following features: IR Constant/Strobe Red and Green Visible The repro Hel Star 6 and Manta lights are ok, I'm not looking to spend more than £40-60. I will be editing in ones that I find for second opinions. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supporters Gepard Posted April 8, 2019 Supporters Share Posted April 8, 2019 The Manta one you linked (repro ones found on eBay) do the job well enough and are about £20. The LEDs are really bright, which is either a good or bad thing depending on what you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sawyer Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I've got the FMA Manta, does the trick, but I will be replacing the shoddy velcro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah FMA and Element seem to be the main people making them. On 08/04/2019 at 14:21, Gepard said: The Manta one you linked (repro ones found on eBay) do the job well enough and are about £20.

Dentonboy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Or perhaps consider S&S Precision v-lites. Get 2 - 1 IR and 1 colour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dentonboy Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Have a look on eBay, there are a few on there, and the generic brand ones are cheap as. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the help and advice guys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
