merci.
does the strap actually work or do people just tiewrap it on?
The strap doesn't work as-is. It needs modification because it's designed to go around the head, rather than just a bit of your helmet.
I prefer a removable mount, so I shortened the strap to fit my helmet rather than use zipties.
..and, slight hijack, to avoid starting new thread...
I've seen this torch recommended: https://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.12325
(The MTE SSC P7 900-Lumen 2-Mode LED)
Or is there something better?
Sorry another slight hijack - but is there any other decent helmet mounts that will work with the bastid? And is it just the same as the bar mount one except it doesn't come with O-rings?
DEZB all the info should be there on the DX site under bike lights.. Its the same output as the torch but has a battery pack with 3 batteries in it for longer runtime and a choice of helmet or bar mount, the lamp head only has the lamp in it batteries are seperate so it would be lighter on your head..
Cheers tinsy, but not sure if that's answering [i]my[/i] question. I'm after a torch! 🙂
You can always modify a torch to mount the batteries seperately. I've got a lightset that weighs 58g (+whatever >2.4V battery you chose to put in your backpack).

Remove the elastic and use a velcro cable tie for easy fitting and removal. (See a sparky mate for a free velcro cable tie)
dez. sorry by something better I thought you meant bike specific, longer runtimes etc, I think there are more powerful torches but the size makes em less suitable, pretty sure I have seen 1200 lumen torches somewhere.
yup I had, rifle not included.
