I'm thinking of getting a UK Q40 for my Urban Search And Rescue helmet. The helmet is designed with a built in pod that a UK 4aa eLed fits into. Does the Q40 have the exact same body, other than lacking a switch? If not, could anybody post some pictures of them side by side? I'd like the extra waterproofing, but not if the fit is bad.
Some pictures of a helmet that is the same as mine:

My Q40 and 4AA look almost the same (with the exception of the switch). The 4AA has a gas vent on the tail which the Q40 does not. Also, the location of the O ring on the Q40 is farther forward than the 4AA. The Q40 also comes with a mask strap.

Basically they are the same. You aren't going to have any issues with fit.
