Lighting The Way

Equipment
A headlamp is an essential item for CERT members. Mounting a headlamp on a hard hat is made easy with a set of clips from Petzl.





A flashlight is often needed during CERT activities, but trying to balance a hand held flashlight, a backpack, and still perform hands-on tasks is nearly impossible. A headlamp makes for a convenient, hands-free, way to illuminate the task at hand.

Since we will also often be wearing a hard hat, the logical place to put the lamp is on the hard hat. But if you've tried this, you will have likely encountered the primary problem with putting a headlamp on a helmet or hard hat: the elastic band wants to pop off because the helmet is round and gets smaller as you go up. Some of us have used Velcroâ„¢ tape in the past, but the tape can come off (leaving a sticky residue) and it attracts lint, dog hair, etc.

Petzl has developed a nifty little clip that solves this problem once and for all. Called the CROCHLAMP S(external link), the clip attaches to the elastic band of the headlamp and then hooks under the brim of the hard hat or helmet.

The clips are available through a number of online retailers. I acquired my set through BrightGuy(external link).
