Just a little over a year ago I wrote about some accessories for helmets. That article focused on safety-oriented accessories. In it, I mentioned helmet illumination but those accessories were for safety and identification. This week on Friday Night Lights we will take a look at three options for a different type of helmet illumination. We will focus on lights that help you see in the dark and attach to your helmet.

As an aid to the Ukrainian Armed Forces, the United States transferred 2,500 night vision helmet mounted monoculars to Ukraine. The ceremony was held in the US embassy in Kiev, Ukraine. The US side was represented by Marie Yovanovitch, the United States ambassador to Ukraine and the representative of Ukraine in this event was Viktor Muzhenko, Chief of the General Staff and Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The mentioned number of the night vision devices is enough to arm ten battalions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The sum of transfer is $5.8M.
