This became my edc also. Very compact designed. Bought a few for my coworkers also.
I'm using the skill hunt head bands with it. I leave the headband on it the whole time now.
would like to see a group buy with these type of lights . looking for more similar lights.
great review

Hi, I just swapped the stock reflector of my freshly unpacked HC30 with a 60 degrees TIR optic.
It’s now a useful headlamp for close up tasks !

I bought it from FastTech, along with some 10, 25 and 45 degrees ones.
I’ve tested them in multiple lights and found that 45° is really useful indoor !

60 degree
45 degree
25 degree
10 degree
Oh, just for the info you have to slightly grind the outside of the optic to make it fit the HC30 bezel

Is it just plug and play?

Like I said, you just have to slightly grind the outside (less than a mm on the diameter)

So, you just unscrew the bezel, then drop the o-ting, glass and reflector :
Stock reflector vs TIR :
You have to slightly areduce the TIR diamter by filing it :
You then just drop the TIR and put the o-ring, then the bezel :
Stock beam at 15cm and 1m :

Thank you
the higher degrees more open?
the spot fades with more or less degree?

Yes, the higher degree provides the more spill (more opened beam).
The spot is quite inexistent with those type of optic

I don’t think you can physically get a 100 degree TIR, the specs are for HALF the angle of spread (ie a 20 degree optic will give you a 40 degree cone).

djozz:
I bought a second-hand HC50 a while ago with the intention of swapping the led to a warm high CRI one, and I have not found a way to get into the ledboard part. My current idea is that the last part of the assembly is that the lens is glued in (with no option to get behind it to even start trying to pry it out)
I switch the led for a warmer last year, change it for a XM-L2 4D. This is how it looked inside. Maybe you have fixed it by now. There is more pics if some one needs.
Thanks for the review!
