Pocket clip for Fenix E01

LED Flashlights – General Info 1 x AAA Flashlights
1

Hi guys,

This is my first post in this forum so hopefully I’m in the right sub-forum for my question:

I have a Fenix E01 flashlight… it’s not my primary EDC light, but anyway I would like to have a pocket clip for this flashlight.

So after an Internet search I learned that the pocket clip for the Fenix LD01 should fit the Fenix E01 too. In case it matters, my E01 is the one that comes in the new blister with a free AAA alkaline cell. But, unfortunately, I have not been able to find an OEM Fenix LD01 pocket clip for sale yet.

So now I have two questions for you people:

#1: Does a clip like that of the LD01 actually stay in place with repeated use? I’m only used to screw-in clips like that of the EagleTac D25A Mini which always stays in place no matter how hard I shove the light in my pocket.

#2: Where can I purchase a genuine, OEM, Fenix LD01 pocket clip?

Thanks for reading! :slight_smile:

Welcome to BLF!

My new LD01 pocket clip does fit perfectly on the head of my EO1 (just tried it). I do not know about repeated use.

But, it does NOT fit at the other more narrow base near the tail-stand side.

Thank you! :slight_smile:

Now that’s some useful information! :slight_smile: I precisely wanted to fit the pocket clip to the narrower circumference near the tail-stand side so the head of the flashlight points down my pocket. You’ve just saved me some time and money, thanks! :slight_smile:

I assume that tying a zip tie around the body of the flashlight would be enough to avoid the light rolling off the table, but the nub on the zip tie would also dig in the pocket… uhmmm… I guess that I’ll leave it as is.

About anything you put in the lanyard hole of the E01 will keep it from rolling.

I’ve got 4-5 lying around the place. Great emergency utility light, it actually needs nothing. Just grab and use it or shove in a pocket and Go.

You’re right, thank you for your suggestion. I guess that I could use the split ring that came with the E01, but then I will have to carefully position said split ring in the correct place every time that I leave the flashlight on a flat surface—this is probably a minor annoyance.

I totally agree with you there! I found out that this flashlight is good enough for navigating around the house and that’s my primary use for a flashlight. :slight_smile:

Sometimes, I prefer to EDC my EagTac D25A Mini because of the pocket clip. It’s difficult to notice the D25A Mini flashlight when it’s hanging from the pocket of my jeans. On the other hand, the E01 is easy to notice at the bottom of my pocket even despite its lower weight and smaller diameter.

Not true. I used the small split ring that came with it, and this is enough to stop any roll without any positioning needed. Gravity will position the ring to deny any roll of more than an inch.

Thank you! I’ll give it a try. :slight_smile:

Update:
I have tried the small split ring as an anti-roll device, but it hasn’t worked very for me. :frowning:

I’m thinking that an Olight i3S may be the best anti-roll device I can get… together with an additional—about—10 lumens. >)

Additional 10 lumens? Try about 50 extra lumens!

Right you are! :slight_smile:

I was thinking about the 20 lumen mode with a runtime of about 8 hours on an Eneloop. 80 lumens are nice to have though. >)
