PP 4AA Luxeon vs UK 4AA Fire ? Help me choose

rbryant2 · Jun 4, 2006

I'm looking for help in deciding between the above lights for mounting on a firefighting helmet. Both seem well thought of by reviewers, I am hoping that someone can give me some opinions after hands-on comparision of the two.

Thanks,
Rodney Bryant

If the UK 4AA Fire is anything like the UK 4AA Zoom, then the SL 4AA Luxeon will have a lot more throw. The SL is larger and heavier.

I think the UK form factor is better suited for a helmet. The SL is a better thrower, but the UK is deigned for duty use in hazardous environments.

Yes it is, but the UK is higher rated in class II designators and also in ClassIII operating temperature. Its pressure vent is a nice feature too. I love my 3 SL PPs, but for a fire helmet I'd want the UK.
