Helmet Mounting Lights- Perfect Accessory For Plumbers

The most common task of a plumber involves repairing of pipes in non-lit areas. This makes it very difficult to cope up with the marked measurements. In fact, leaving it aside, placing the tools and other stuff on a particular pipe, without proper vision sometimes turns into a big mess.

So, getting helmet mount lights is highly recommended to all the plumbers. Basically, it is a portable light that can be mounted on a helmet.

How does helmet mount function?

Plumbers, to protect their head against banging directly on the wall, wear special helmets fixed with helmet lights. These helmet lights come with a portable, yet powerful light bulb. This bulb is powered by cells or inbuilt power source (in the kit) and its kit comes attached with an elastic band with Velcro padding, provided on either of the sides. With the help of these, the kit remains tied to the helmet.

When the switch provided is turned on, the bulb will start to draw power from the electrical store and hence light up.

Yes, it is waterproof also!

Damage prevention against splash will worry plumbers at first. But, this has been paid attention to. Helmet mount lights are coated with a special layer to make them waterproof. 

The waterproofing capability of the helmet-mounted lights is limited up to a certain extent, for example, 30 minutes or 1 meters depth. Paying attention to this is very necessary; otherwise, the kit can malfunction.

The benefits of helmet lighting kit

Following are the benefits of owning a lighting kit:

v  Helps in tight conditions: When working in tight conditions, such as an underwater line, the lighting kit helps in illuminating the place.

v  Replaceable: As the kits are only attached with the help of Velcro strips, one can easily remove and replace these with a new one.

v  Cost efficient: The helmet mount lights come in a variety of ranges. So, for every budget, there is a helmet mount light available.

v  Flexibility in use: It is not always compulsory to use these kits with a helmet. One can also detach them and use separately. This allows for greater flexibility in terms of usage.

You can rent them too!

Some agencies also supply helmet mount lights on the rental basis. One can find the contact information of such contract companies online or in a local daily. The rental will be on the basis of either the working hours or per kit, so confirm in advance before proceeding.
