SomoGear HEL-STAR 6

HEL-STAR 6 is a multi-function helmet mounted LED light designed for airborne/MFF, tactical and other military operations.

Tactical Helmet Strobe Light  combines the basic features of the earlier HEL-STAR 4 & HEL-STAR 5 multi-function marker lights into a compact, integrated design with enhanced omni-directional visibility and easy battery replacement.

The newly refined HEL-STAR 6 offers a sleek design, integrated tie downs, battery changes without tools, and advanced electronics, including a field re-reprogramming option.

 

Sliding switches enhance tactile feel and provide positive, intuitive control between the two operating modes and four user-defined functions. Functions can be selected from virtually any combination of White, four different color options, and IR – either flashing or steady. Variable flash rates, intensities and coded signals provide expanded IFF capability.

 

Independent testing has confirmed that the HEL-STAR 6 exceeds the FAA’s 3 statute mile visibility requirement and is shock and vibration resistant, dustproof, and open sea waterproof to 130 fsw (laboratory 300+ feet).

 

HEL-STAR 6 is built on a platform that allows new technology to be incorporated as it becomes available. As mission demands shift and expand, Tactical Helmet Strobe Light  continues to evolve with changing user needs.

 

HEL-STAR 6  Advantages:

•       Safety - The unique battery access design provides a curved profile on all sides, minimizing snag hazard. Velcro® attachment provides emergency peel-away from helmet to reduce potential for snag-related injury.

•       Versatility - Up to four user-defined functions are available in a range of visible colors and IR signals, either flashing, coded or steady.

•       Visibility - Omni-directional. Intensities can scaled up or down for special requirements. White flash exceeds FAA 3-statute mile requirements.

•       Simple, Secure Operation - Switches are designed for positive operation by a gloved-hand, in the blind, with the helmet donned. Mode selection switch design options provide operational flexibility or strong security between overt and covert operating modes.

•       Operating Extremes - HEL-STAR 6 is shock and vibration resistant, dustproof and open sea waterproof to 130 fsw (laboratory 300+ feet).

•       Status Confirmation - Switch design provides visual and tactile confirmation of ON/OFF and operating status with no guesswork; visual confirmation prevents inadvertent battery discharge in the IR operating mode.

•       Easy Battery Replacement - The single CR123 cell can be replaced in the field, quickly, without special tools.

•       Field Reprogramming - Color, flash rate, and light intensity can be reprogrammed with a wireless handheld device (PIM). A default feature returns the unit back to original factory settings.
