Streamlight® Upgrades Vantage® Helmet Light for Firefighters

Upgrades Include Enhanced Performance, Improved Usability and a Modernized Design

Eagleville, PA — April 24, 2026 — Streamlight®, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting, announced an upgrade to its Vantage® helmet light, delivering higher candela, easier battery changes, and enhanced ergonomics.

Purpose-built for firefighting and industrial environments, the upgraded Vantage® produces 225 lumens and 22,000 candela, delivering a focused beam through smoke and haze while maintaining usable peripheral light. Its 297-meter beam distance and ultra-bright blue rear safety LED enhance visibility in hazardous environments.

Compact, lightweight and low-profile, the Vantage® mounts securely above or below the brim of traditional and modern fire helmets. When mounted below the brim, the redesigned battery door allows for tool-free battery replacement, without removing the light from the helmet, improving efficiency during extended incidents. The light is powered by two CR123A lithium batteries and has a 5-hour run-time.

The user-friendly, ambidextrous, dual-direction tail switch remains for fast, reliable operation. The clamp offers 360° rotation to optimize beam location.

“In smoke‑filled, high‑heat conditions, firefighters need lighting they can trust to be powerful and dependable. The Vantage® remains the proven, hands‑free solution trusted in these low‑visibility environments,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight President. “This product upgrade increases peak intensity and refines beam control for improved smoke penetration.”

Constructed from 6000 series machined aircraft aluminum with a shock-mounted BOROFLOAT® glass lens, the Vantage® is IPX7-rated, waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes and impact resistant. It meets the 500°F heat requirements of NFPA 1970 - 14.2 (2025).

The upgraded Vantage® weighs 5.08 ounces with batteries. It measures 3.08 inches long, 1.43 inches wide and 2.67 inches tall (with clamp).

The Vantage® has an MSRP of $270.91 is serialized for positive identification and backed by Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
