Alpha Helmet

I'm an aerial camera operator and wear an Alpha helmet. I have on it a 'liplight' which works very well. I am looking for a small torch to fasten to the side of the helmet, I have a Peli L1 but have lost the bracket and unable to find another, so anyone any ideas of where I could get one I have tried Headset services and they are looking for me. It may be a good idea to buy a new better torch with swivel bracket, anyone have any experience of one, and where to obtain it please.

Why not mount a headlight on the visor cover...

Just do what I did - ring up Peli UK and buy one from them direct. Although be prepared for a shock as the mount is more expensive than the torch!

This is what most of us use. Mount with Velcro or double sided spongey tape. Doesn't swivel, costs a bit, but always works and never runs out of battery. Dimmable white and color light, and an IFF flasher visible under goggles.

That, or a headlamp taped to the visor cover. But those look cheap.
