Has anyone used this with a helmet mounted light? Do the vents have enough room for the traditional velcro strap to go through?

Yes, I use it with Light and Motion Vis 360 helmet mounted lights and it works fine.

Haven't used it for the light described. But the vents should have enough room for Velcro straps (not a buckle).

Yes, I prefer to use a helmet mounted light and a handlebar mounted light for trail riding but that's only to have a back-up. This light is plenty bright to light your way on its own.

There is some truth to this problem. The light mounts with a plastic strap that is tightened with a lever (think of a ski boot buckle). The problem is that the lever doesn't really stay tightened, and you have to push it back into place. However, I haven't noticed this loosening going over bumps, etc., it's just that at the end of a ride, you tighten the strap again. A minor design defect and not a big deal. I like the light.

Shouldn't be a problem as far as the diameter but you need to think about the length of the flashlight and if the light will stick out of your helmet and get you caught up. I'm not sure what your application is but yes it will hold this flashlight

Yes, that strap you see going across the back with their nametag on it is built for clip-on lights. I've got a Blinky attached there and it works for me.

I just keep mine on and use my fog lights at night. Don't want the chance the Velcro start to ware and fly off, so I put them on and never take them off

I played around with my Bell Sweep to see if you could, and you can. I tried it on the band at the back , where the adjustment wheel is (it works there but isn't very comfortable in the back of the head), and I looped it around a vent in the left or right of the back of the helmet and it worked fine. Depending on your helmet and the vent configuration you should be able to make something work. If I did it on mine I might mount two, one on the right and one on the left of the helmet.

The clips are universal with any strap style light. I use a windfire light on mine. Works great and doesn't slip off the helmet while rigging and climbing.

I have my light hanging from the internal metal frame. Have the adjustable hanging straps. Works good.

After checking with measuring tape, I believe the largest it will hold a 7" long light, 1-1/4" diameter. The side panels are elastic and the Velcro flap will accommodate 5" to a maximum of 7" lenght.

You can if you have the rail adapter or the helmet adapter. I love the light and it is very versatile. The helmet adapter clips to the edge of the helmet not like the rail adapter which will adapt to a weapons system style rail.

No. These types of emitters have an elastic O-ring that is like a thick rubber band that goes around a tube and hooks on the light in two places. Depending on the helmet and vent pattern you might be able to accomplish the attachment, but it would be a stretch, literally. The best way that I have found is a standard helmet mount that is usually some velcro or buckled straps with a plastic tube on a flat base. I generally use this light on my handlebars and strap the battery to the stem. I use a lighter, less powerful light on my helmet.

If you are clever with the mount you are given, I'd say yes. I used the velcro strap on the provided battery pack to mount on the helmet, no problems for me. If you want to make it even easier, check out this product: Light and Motion Helmet Mount for (Seca/Vega/Stella/Urban) Models

Unless the mfg changed the band, it will not fit over a helmet, but I would wear it UNDER the helmet. Unless you have a unique helmet, you should have enough room for it on your forehead. The light is incredibly bright for a long period with new batteries. I'm a cyclist who used to do night-time MTB rides. I didn't have this light when I did those rides, but it would work well.

Yeah the mount is kinda cheap pretty easy to remove. I would buy a different mount. Great light though.

Not really. There is a stud with the wires inside it that is screwed into the light and has 2 nuts on it to mount. It worked for me without making any additional mounts. I did unscrew the stud from the housing though and put red locktite on it and screwed it back in to make it more secure.

I installed the helmet mount and it is solid. I've never used it, though, because the handlebar mount works just fine. It's the same clip on both the handlebar or the helmet mount. I discovered early on that you must be CAREFUL about clipping the light onto the mount. I was careless, and the light unexpectedly flew off its mount and landed by the side of the road. It seemed solid, but a few miles of bumpy riding shook the light loose. If care is taken when clipping the light on, it's OK. Several months later with MANY miles ridden with the NiteRider Lumina 700 USB clipped on, there has not been a repeat of the unplanned release...
