Thanks for the link, thats just cost me £15 haha. The helmet release mount clip they do looks excellent, so that will be tried with my h2r :+1:
.
Real interesting 1200lm angle light “Compass R” …Designed in Finland. Magnetic charging base like Olight/Armytek.
Apparently these are sold only in Europe, never heard of them or seen them available stateside.
Their mounts look sturdy thats for sure.
Yeah as soon as i saw the Compass i instantly thought it was Armytek. They seem to be sharing the same design in most ways…… That monster light looks cool but maybe a bit heavy.
Head lamp looks nice but can’t see £150 in it tbh. Also I want to be able to pick my colour temp, not sure even what LED is in that lamp never mind CT.
Don’t know if it is mentioned before, but on reason for seeming a bit dimm is it’s wide angle lens.
You can replace it with a tighter one.
It’s junk unfortunately, only good thing was Amazon’s next day delivery! Will post pics why later on, but basically cheap and not up to it. Grub screw to secure makes it difficult to lock up without it swivelling. Even then it’s not a confident hold. Back to olights head band ,different league . Very pricey for what it is, I would value it at $2 or so. Only difference would be it going in the trash rather than returned .
Sorry for the derail, just in case anyone thinks about buying for their hard hat.
Pics,
Reasons why its junk
Single grub screw , maybe 2 of them and an alloy body would have improved it a good bit. Still the plastic body does flex pretty easily when nipped up.
Little hex/allen key provided for grub screw
Underneath of attached, this will not hold securely enough for it to stop moving side to side. Even with the 3m tape applied above lip, just no use.
Another important factor which bothered me, the housing under the lip of the hat is in eye sight. I found it distracting when i tried it out.
The grip on the light(h2r here not their light) was also sub par, maybe because it was the olight. Still, i cant see body diameter differences that great on the 18650 headlamps.
Ven, not sure if you knew but Armytek recently came out with a hard hat option if you’re looking to try something else out.
How did you do that? lol I spent an hour searching for something like that and came up with nothing ! Might give that a go if i can source one easy enough. Hard to tell from pics, the thread looks beefier on the Armytek anyway. $9 is not the end of the world if turns out no good, small risk. Cheers :+1:
Well $9 before Armytek’s standard $12 shipping fee (which is ridiculous IMO).
Yes, damn just found that, i dont really want to gamble $20 on a plastic mount.
Oh well, will get there in the end 
Terrible piece of junk. Honestly for me Olight has the best headlight mount with the H2R. Its magnetic and also the rubber strap wraps over the light instead of trying to shove a light through rubber rings.
Have to agree Blackdragon, the olight strap is very good. Ease of removing whilst on helmet , no metal/metal contact with light/holder and decent magnet. Only reason was to get rid of the straps being on a hard hat .
