CORE Survival Hel-Star 5 EXO helmet mounted strobe FAQs

What is the HEL-STAR 5 EXO? 

The Hel-Star 5 EXO Helmet Strobe is a small, tough light that attaches to a helmet. It is used as a marker, which means it helps your team see and identify you, especially in the dark.

What does "three-function" mean? 

This light can do three different things. For example, one mode might be a steady green light, one might be a flashing white light, and one might be an invisible light. Each model has a different set of three functions.

How do I switch between the functions? 

The light has special sliding switches. You can feel the switches "click" when you use them. This lets you change modes or turn the light on and off in the dark, just by feel.

How does it stick to a helmet?

 It uses a strong Velcro strip to hold on tight. This design helps it from getting caught on things. If it does get snagged, it is made to break away safely.

Can I use it in the rain? 

Yes. The light is fully waterproof. It is made to work even 66 feet underwater.

What kind of battery does it use?

 It uses one C123 lithium battery. A battery is not included in the box. You can change the battery very easily without needing any tools.

What is an "IR" light? 

"IR" stands for infrared. This light is invisible to your eyes. It can only be seen with night vision goggles. This lets you signal to your team without being seen by others.

Why is this "EXO" model special? 

The hel-star 5 exo is smaller and lighter (by 20 grams) than older models, so it's more comfortable on your helmet. It is also stronger and more waterproof.
