The clip I found was one that I got from the Fenix store 8 years ago. Works perfectly as the top of the clip lines up with the top of the light. Will post some pics with measurements when I get a chance.
It’s all about the reflector, coupled with the emitter. In this case, you have a choice of clear or pebbled optics. I went with pebbled and it’s great. “Throw” is a nebulous term, out of context. I look at it more like short, medium, and long range. For headlamps, you want short and medium. But, you can still find long throwers too.
Keep in mind that with headlamps, the most common task is near field illumination. And you’ll want area flooding for best usage. Then use a handheld for more focused work. Also check out Nitecore’s offerings.
I have several Fenix lights, the widest being a PD30. But the diameter is still a little more narrow than the TH20, so the clip is too tight to fit (don’t want to force it and risk stripping of anodizing).
Did you all see Skilhunt uglied up the H03 ?
It’s called H04 now and it really looks disappointing…
I like angle lights too, by the way.
I have several Skilhunts, the Nitecore H30 (or what’s it called) and some others.
But i never use them as headlamps.
I just wish a warmer tint LED was available. Olight is so mainstream now, they’re not doing much to appease the flashlight enthusiast.
I have that one too, an earlier release made of ABS plastic. It’s terrific. I also have the larger metal one labeled “QUANTUM” sold @ Harbor Freight, which is nice, but not as versatile as the folding work light.
I also have the Streamlight survivor Smokecutter issued to me, very throwy but not much spill, almost annoying. I find myself carrying the legacy incandescent one for more spill also on my turnout gear. But as right angle lights go they are super handy, durable, although larger than the headlamp ones now available. My original Smokecutter got snagged off my gear and was in a burning structure for several hours and still functions. Had to replace the battery pack but how many Skillhunts or other brands can say that? Streamlight did their research with these lights.
So far my anodizing has held up fine from the clip. Couple of nicks from drops though. FWIW, I don’t really care as it is a tool first. Hope these pics will help in a search for a clip that will work for you.
