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).

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.

If you had some MOLLE straps or something that'd probably work fine, but the clip isn't bulletproof if it doesn't have much to grip on. I'd probably use a zip tie to make sure it was really secure. I've never had a better light though, and the clips aren't much different on anything else I've had. It comes with a smaller ring for mounting, you might be able to adapt that for your backpack.

Yup, what they said... I found that I had to move the light a little farther forward (1/8" - 1/4") to make it more comfortable/easier to use the tail cap switch over a standard handguard. YMMV.

yes the head of the light comes with a band for the head (you can even put it on a helmet) or you can use the clip in the back to attach it to a vest/ jacket to the degree of your liking

You can if you use the helmet mount. You might have to be creative with the velcro alignment to get it snug.

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 have an Advanced Combat Helmet (ACH) with NVG mount. It is a tight fit. I had to trim the foam pad a bit. Works fine.

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... I installed the helmet mount and it is solid.

It has an elastic head strap that you might be able to stretch over a child's helmet. Otherwise, you'll have to find 0ne-inch-wide elastic bands from a fabric store or something and use the light's existing buckles.

I attached the head harness mount to my helmet using zip ties and it works fine. Very solid and secure.

The answer is "No". There are two holes for screws in the back, but they are not for the mount. It's light weight so Velcro is OK.

This helmet mount is great. There are two adjustable straps with locking adjusters. The mount has a 3/16" thick somewhat hard foam pad on the bottom. The mount is also adjustable up and down by a splined pivot with a bolt that you tighten to lock it into place. Your light slides off the mount by pressing down on the quick release tab and slides on clicking securely into place.

Yes, has a half moon base and rubber band style mount for bars. The headstrap is pretty useful and works well on your head, not sure if it would go over a helmet. Light is nice but haven't figured out how long the battery will last. May need to be upgraded since its china stuff...

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

I have mine attached to the back of my helmet using a zip tie. My front light is also attached to the top of my helmet... I have a picture but I can't get it to post on this.

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.
