Streamlight introduced the PolyTac Helmet Lighting Kit, featuring a PolyTac LED flashlight and a Blackjack Helmet Mount by 1445 Designs.

The new universal lighting kit is a low-profile, lightweight and economic alternative for securely mounting the PolyTac LED flashlight to almost any style helmet, traditional or modern. The helmet mount can be purchased separately as an accessory.

“Firefighters will appreciate the lithium-powered PolyTac LED, which, in addition to being lightweight, offers exceptional durability and, with the use of power LED technology, extreme brightness,” said Streamlight President and CEO Ray Sharrah.

The Blackjack Helmet Mount is made from solid machined aluminum to provide both corrosion and impact resistance, and an available rubber helmet strap is made of engineered high-strength rubber.

The PolyTac LED weighs 3.9 ounces and measures 5.22 inches in length and 1.25 inches in diameter. The light features a body made of high-impact, nylon polymer for exceptional durability and a sure grip, and a tailcap push button switch for easy, one-handed operation with gloved hands. The tailcap also can be rotated to a “Safe” position.
