i decided my helmet needed a distress marker, and it needed to work, so i took my G&P distress marker speed loader, and made it real!
Materials
18 AWG wire, 2 small steel plates, cr123a battery, M249 trigger switch, CREE multi function 300 lumen bulb, G&P distress marker speed loader, soldering iron, glue, velcro, awesome helmet.
I used the soldering iron to melt out the insides of the speed loader(yes it smelled awful) I glued the bulb in and wired it to the m249 switch that i attached to the body of the loader with 2 screws. Again using the soldering iron i attached the steel plates to the body of the loader to make a battery holder. the actual external switch was made with the dummy switch that came with the loader. It has 5 settings, low, medium, bright, fast strobe, and slow strobe. i added some velcro and a lanyard to attach it to my helmet.
edit* damnit i cant get my images to work here i give up, they work fine on the sota forums. see pics here
