TX-1 Special Ops Helmet Light

So Foxfury came up with the TX-1 Helmet Light. While it may not be built with the durability and functionality of the SF one, it is durable in it's own right, and does the basic job of providing head-mounted, hands free lighting (Note: while the web-site states that it will fit the MICH or ACH Helmet, it will indeed fit the PASGT Helmet...as seen in the photo). It is "water-proof" and will survive being rained on if properly maintained, and is, for all intents and purposes, a "military helmet light".

It has a black, "soft" plastic (not rubber though) case, and so, is more resilent to cracking, and cold damage. I taped off the lens and painted it OD to make it more subdued and blend in with the WC pattern on my helmet cover. It can be used alone for map reading/security checks, and navigation in a dark building, but lacks throw...and has an effective range (IMHO) of about 20ft., so you'll still need to pack an extra tac-light.

The best part about this though is the price tag...at $25 and some change, this is an affordable and well made helmet light, that will serve it's purpose. It has 3, 1-stage LED's, that are easily activated by the push button switch on the side, and has a "break-away" function that will release the lamp assy. from the helmet attachment point. and swivels both vertically and horizontally to get the light right where you need it. The ONLY problem I noticed, was that in the cold, the switch didn't want to always actviate, and it would "flicker" while trying to get it to turn, on but it would.

Over-all, a nice, quality, and affordale helmet light that gets the job done...if I had $132 dollars to spare, I would get the SF Helmet light...and mount it on the other side, and still keep this one!!!

Performance Tactical

Well I'm an aircraft mechanic and 99% of the time 2 hands are needed. With your light now working at night is so much easier. The neck is no longer sore from trying to hold a flashlight. Your light illuminates the entire work area instead of just a spot. I have had other mechanics borrow the light and they love it also and will soon be part of their toolbox also.
