I have been brainstorming on Zebralight 18650 mounting solutions for my headlamp on a hard hat. I started out by putting the hook portion of Velcro on my hard hat where the straps sit and that worked ok. The problem was it needed to be adjusted once and a while and was not convenient if I wanted to take off the lamp and replace after I needed to hand hold it to see in a certain circumstance. I did a search on here and found a post where an individual made a clip and glued the silicone mount to it. It was a great idea but didn't see it holding well to a PE hard hat as it could be bumped and pushed off the rim and I work in a industrial setting where dropped items is a serious no no (plus, it's an $80 lamp).
I was just wondering if anyone has come up with a good idea recently (I searched and found OLD posts) and want to add that I have come up with what I believe to be a great solution. My idea makes the lamp easily removed and will work on hats and hard hats and it utilizes the same silicone mount. It is an idea that does not require you to be a machinist or a mechanical engineer, but needs a little bit of handy skills. I don't have pics at the moment as my hard hat is in my locker at work but will post some Wednesday or so. Just looking to see other possible ideas.
Thanks
