Review: A solid choice - Not over powering, dependable light source, with good, intuitive, adjustable beam functions. Very durable.
Review: Best flashlight for night flying that I have found - I am thoroughly impressed with the Streamlight flashlight that offers both white and red LED options. Initially, it was a bit challenging to identify the correct product number that would provide the specific color version I needed, but with some research on the Streamlight website, I was able to find the right one by reviewing the product summary and color options. Paired with the Streamlight 14059 Elastic Headstrap, it has resulted in the most comfortable and efficient headlamp I have ever used. This flashlight is ideal for pilots during night flight and preflight, camping, and any task that requires hands-free lighting. This flashlight boasts a range of impressive features, including adjustable angle of view, adjustable brightness, strobe options, and multiple color outputs. It is lightweight, durable, and has a long battery life with the included battery. I already own a few other Streamlight products, and they are all of exceptional quality. I wholeheartedly recommend this flashlight to anyone in need of a dependable and versatile lighting option.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between the military model and the aviation model? From what I can tell they're both the same except the aviation model pricier.**
A: One has a red light the other has a green light. Also the mounting hardware for the helmet might be different since military aviation typically use ANVIS style mounts for their NVGs. Whereas the troops on the ground use the norotos mount for their NVGs.

**Q: does this come with the headband?**
A: Yes, mine came with a really nice handband and another mounting clip.

**Q: Is there an attachment to make it more secure on my molle vest?**
A: The clip it has on it is molle compatible.
