Does anybody know if the 'SUREFIRE Tactical Helmet Light' comes in Olive Drab Green, or is it only available in desert Tan? Cannot seem to find an O.D. one anywhere. All are tan, I come across. Thank you.

There is an OD copy on ebaybanned for 20 dollars and a kit for disabling the battery too somewhere else.

Nowhere near as bright as my real one but i bought it for the cap mount!

That said, with Krylon, anything can be OD!

Prefer the real thing. Good idea alright. I have thought about sprying one O.D. Have you or anybody done it and how did it work out? Cheers Andy.

Good stuff. I will have to go buy the tan light now first. I will try that exactly and see how it goes. Thank you for the tips/suggestions.

Dark earth/tan is the new black.

They say purple is all the rage this year! The new color in season this fall! Ha..ha! Just kidding! Yes, I might buy the coyote tan light. Cheers.

Wait till SF releases their new headlamp called "Saint," better than the current one. It will run on CR123s or AAs 100 lumens+ http://www.equipped.com/blog/?p=88

surefire headlamps suck, get a petzl and put some hook/pile on it.

Who stocks it? Not a bad looking light. The right colour. Cheers GG.

Rubber cement works? I usually go for PVA glue... :)
