Streamlight Enhances Vantage Helmet Light
With improved ergonomics, a greater candela, and simpler battery swaps, Streamlight redesigned its Vantage helmet light.
The updated Vantage, designed specifically for industrial and firefighting settings, generates 225 lumens and 22,000 candela, providing a concentrated beam through smoke and cloud while retaining usable peripheral light. Its ultra-bright blue rear safety LED and 297-meter beam distance improve visibility in dangerous situations.
The Vantage installs safely above or below the brim of both conventional and contemporary fire helmets since it is small, light, and low-profile. The revised battery door improves efficiency during prolonged occurrences by enabling tool-free battery replacement without removing the helmet's light when mounted below the brim. The light can run for five hours on two CR123A lithium batteries.
For quick, dependable operation, the user-friendly, ambidextrous, dual-direction tail switch is still in place. To maximize beam placement, the clamp provides 360-degree rotation.
The Vantage is IPX7-rated, impact-resistant and waterproof to one meter for thirty minutes. It is made of 6000 series machined aerospace aluminum with a shock-mounted BOROFLOAT glass lens.
