Zebralight: Eye Protection Lamp

by PinnacleFlashlights on Jan.02, 2010, under Information, Photos

The Zebralight line provides an innovative, versatile solution to many difficult lighting needs. Included in the package is a headband for use as a headlamp, a neck strap, and a pocket clip that we will be using in this article. Operating the Zebralight in this fashion is especially useful for healthcare professionals who need some extra lighting while maintaining eye protection. This can be used by Firefighters, Paramedics and EMTs in the field during night extrications or other low-light medical calls. Additionally Emergency Department or Urgent Care professionals may find this useful for tasks in areas with poor lighting and visibility.

We will be using safety glasses that can be found at any hardware store and the Zebralight H30 which runs on a single lithium 123A cell and puts out a broad beam of 80 lumens for over 2.5 hours.

The Zebralight will be fitted in the clip mount in the opposite direction that it is normally mounted. Insert the light into the clip holder so that the button and the opening of the clip are on the same side. The clip should then be able to be secured to the center of the safety glasses.

      

Below are some beamshots of this setup. The H30 illuminates the entire field of view without obstructing the vision of the operator.

    Wow, this one is definitely interesting. Does the Zebralight end up with any light spilling back into the user’s eyes at all? It looks like it could either be extremely useful or disastrous. Some day I hope to review one of these…
