SureFire HL1-A Dual Output White/Red LED Helmet Light (Desert Tan)

The desert tan HL1-A Dual Output White/Red LED Helmet Light from SureFire is a versatile hands-free light that provides an IR Identify Friend or Foe (IFF) beacon for identification to friendly forces using NVDs. The light allows the use of three white LEDs offering up to 19.2 lumens for tasks, or two red LEDs with a maximum output of 2.5 lumens for a reduced light signature.

The light output is controlled using two toggle switches. The first switch turns the IR IFF beacon on and off. A second switch controls the white or red light and turns them off. A pressure switch on the face of the light controls the intensity of the light chosen. Pressing the button cycles through the low, medium, and high levels. Built for durability, the light is O-ring and gasket sealed to be waterproof.

The HL1-A attaches to any Modular Integrated Communications Helmet (MICH) via a mount with 20 preset positions, which provide 360° rotation capability. An integrated quick release tab makes it easily removable for servicing or transferring to other helmets.
