Top Tips for Firefighters: How to Mount Your Wearable Guardian Angel Light

GA_Content_TopTipsForFirefighters_01

When responding to roadside emergencies, from car crashes to cleanups, making sure you’re visible is crucial for the safety of you and your team. Our Elite Series lights are designed to provide safety and visibility in these critical situations, no matter the conditions.

One of the most popular ways firefighters use our White/Red Elite Series light is when they’re on scene at a crash or other type of roadside emergency. Why? Our lights are professional grade, built to withstand the worst Mother Nature can throw at them. And, with multiple flash patterns and brightness settings, they’re visible from up to 5+ miles in all directions. That means distracted drivers see you sooner. They slow down and/or move over. You stay safe.

For teams handling complex scenes, Guardian Angel lights can be used to assign different colors to each responsibility. For example, the chief could wear a green light, while hose operators might use a different color, and so on down the line, from engineers to battalion leaders. This system allows for rapid and clear identification of each team member’s role, improving coordination and efficiency during emergencies. 

Below are a few popular mounting options we’ve designed with direct input from firefighters throughout the U.S:

Fire Helmet Mount

Magnetically attaches to any GA light and locks into the helmet. Fully integrated, built-in neodymium rare Earth magnet. Optional hard mounting (screws included). **Designed to fit European Fire Helmets.

Helmet Strap with Two Magnetic Mounts

28-inch” rubber strap fits all types of hard hats, fire helmets, and safety helmets. Magnetically attaches GA devices to any helmet or hard hat. Optional hard mounting (screws included) for extra security.

Clamp On Strap Magnetic Mount

Paramedics and firefighters often will attach their light to their radio strap. With a quick-release magnet mount, these mounts clamp onto straps up to 1.5-inches wide. Foam grip surface on the inside of the clamp helps reduce slippage. Each mount features a loop to attach a device tether (sold separately). Optional hard mounting (screws included).

Universal Clip Mount

Magnetically attaches to any GA light. The Universal Clip’s strong clip tension with rubber backing securely clips to your hat, belt, bag, coat, and more. This is a great option when you need to quickly reposition your light. Optional hard mounting (screws included).
