also, I'm a little confused while reading Surefire's description. it says "semi-permanent" mount that you screw in? does that I mean I have to mod my helmet? if someone has pictures of it with their CF helmet that'd be great!

Huang's site has them - currently out of stock - I guess i got the last two of them (one was busted in the package
) They are chinese made Surefire clones.
As such, they have no IR capability. The 'blue IR lights' are replaced with the red LED's, that you see in the photo. Both the red and white LED's operate (separately, either red or white, not both) on a 3 stage sequential brightness switch. There is also a separate "IFF" red light on it's own switch, that dimly pulses on and off on the side of the unit.. kinda useless. I bought it with airsoft and mountain-biking purely in mind - the red lights will suffice to take the place of consuming red glow-sticks, when i need to indicate "i'm dead" in night games.
The link given by Kokanee earlier in the thread gives a good run-down on what needs to be done to set them up for the FAST helmet. The Surefire clone is definitely quick removable from the helmet rail without need for screws or tools. The Surefire clones also came with additional mounts that look like they'd adapt fine to non-railed helmets like the PAGST and MICH series helmets - it'd definitely work fine with my PAGST 'costume' helmet replica, with the mounts that were provided.
