Review: Broke on its first outing - Hugely disappointing purchase. I don't know if I was just unlucky but this stopped working the first time I took it in the field; the little clicky on/off switch beneath the rubber gasket had snapped off its solder. I'm in the UK and US Streamlight customer service were not interested, told me the retailer would have to arrange to repair it. Took it to a mobile phone repair shop who soldered it back on, and a day later it snapped again, and it went in the bin. Very expensive waste of money and left me caught short in the middle of an ex.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between the military model and the aviation model? From what I can tell they're both the same except the aviation model pricier.**
A: One has a red light the other has a green light. Also the mounting hardware for the helmet might be different since military aviation typically use ANVIS style mounts for their NVGs. Whereas the troops on the ground use the norotos mount for their NVGs.

**Q: does this come with the headband?**
A: Yes, mine came with a really nice handband and another mounting clip.

**Q: Is there an attachment to make it more secure on my molle vest?**
A: The clip it has on it is molle compatible.

Bra lampa om än lite svag belysning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wer militär Qualität sucht, findet sie hier
*by A***A on 10 March 2023*

Um eins vorweg zu nehmen, es ist keine klassische Kopflampe. Es ist halt eine militärische Lampe, die Ausstattung sagt wohl alles. Die Qualität ist top. Die Helligkeit ist für das wozu die Lampe gemacht wurde OK. Die Bedienung ist auf "Sicherheit" getrimmt, also gegen versehentliches einschalten. Der Halteclip hat seinen Namen verdient, er hält ultra fest, für manches Kleidungsstück auf Dauer zu fest. Sprich es kann zu Schäden kommen, positiv daran, man verliert die Lampe nicht so schnell. Die Multi Batterie Tauglichkeit ist natürlich mega. Alles in allem ein top Lampe, der Preis ist das einzige wo man meckern kann, allerdings sage ich hier . Man kommt immer dass wofür man bezahlt
