This is really just a discussion of which helmet people
prefer. The Sten Light has a standard flat blade, so it will mount
on any helmet that has a lamp bracket or other means for mounting a
caving lamp.

I put my sten on both an Ecrin Rock (I use for large and vertical
caves) and a Petzl Elios (I use for tight and crawly caves). In
both cases, I've used a metal or plastic strap mounted on the helmet
to slip the light into with an elastic band to keep it there. This
gets me that extra half inch of clearance by not using one of those
sten light mounts.
I also run my cables right back into the helmet, through the helmet
to the battery at the back to protect the wires as much as
possible. A couple of rubber grommets work nicely in the cable holes .

Yup, I second the Ecrin Roc. I've seen people trying out the newer
styles of helmets and in the end getting back to Ecrin Rocs. They're
very good helmets, and comfortable.

Ecrin Roc. You'll need to trim/sand down the angle on the plastic
mounting bracket to fit the curve on the front of the helmet. This is
true with many helmets. I like the ERoc because I can feed the wires
from the battery through the vent holes and clips and then out to the
light. It reduces the exposure of cables to snag on the outside. Very nice.

I was going to ask everyone what caving helmet to get, but I thought
that might be to vague. So, I'll ask it this way: What helmet would you
mount a Stenlight on?
Thanks,
Floyd
