Before this turned into a zebralight thread, the original poster asked for something that has a red LED, runs from AA batteries and can be bolted permanently to a helmet....Controversial I realize, as the Zebralight is obviously the answer to all the problems of the world, but I was going to suggest this !!...Like the zebralight, doesn't fit the critera at all...
LOL, seriously, it is just a simple clamp mechanism for two Zebralights. Honestly there's not much to it, but I'll field any questions you have. It's aluminum, and it works like a "sandwich". I plan to make a single mount as soon as the new H502 is out...just waiting EVER SO PATIENTLY for that one.
but Simple has defined it out of existence in post #23, so even I myself doubt that it's real. I'm having something of an existential crisis over it.
What I would do, if I had no mill, and if I wanted to use a Zebra, is glue the silicone or rubber holder to the hardhat. Like Varuscelli did with his clip, only I'd glue the holder directly to the helmet.
...especially if you could keep it in a price range to be both affordable to the buyer...
Or glue one of the silicon holders to a very thin metal plate that could itself be drilled and attached to the hard hat more securely (bolted or screwed) so that the holder unit could be attached and removed at will.
Which would be?
That's a capital idea. And I don't think you could ever machine a holder that could compete with this for simplicity, durability, and economy. So I would not expect to see a big market in rigid helmet clamps.
Well the customer is always right, so, if it seems like a $20 item, that's what it is, regardless of how much time or material it takes to make it. Sure, if it were mass produced in China, maybe. As a custom job...not even close. Typical machine shop prices are $50/hr, and that bracket would take maybe a half day after you'd done a couple of them. So this probably signals a very early death to any fantasy I had of making clamps for sale. Better to know now than later!
would you? that would be nice.
