When I purchased the Imalent holster I had a pretty specific job in mind for it as I thought it would very nicely fit in a space I have in the back of the car and would make a pretty smoking part of an emergency kit. I did have in mind for it the extra Olight S30 I recently got from Gearbest but it literally just falls out of it as the gripper ring is way to wide for it. I have now gone through all my 18650 lights and the only one that even remotely fits is my Convoy S2+ and that is pretty darn ratly and falls out if held upside down. I kind of assumed this was designed to fit most 18650 tube lights and don’t know how I missed the fact that it clearly does not fit most of the classic lights that many of us who use this forum have to hand?
Now that I have it I still have that job in mind so can anyone recommend me a tube light under $20? Would any of the Convoy lights have a slightly thicker body for instance?
I got one of these as well. I like the ability to easily carry some spare power.
To be fair, I don’t think the holster was intended to be a “fits every tube light” holster. It was designed for a specific Imalent light. My BLF A6 is loose as well. As I pulled it out to look at it while replying to you, a thought occurred to me that might make it work. Use some paracord to wrap around the ears (? fingers? sticky outty bits?) of the holster to make it grasp better. This may require that you remove the screws at the back of this area to allow the light to fit deeper into the grasp. I will try to play with this over Thanksgiving break to see what I can come up with. It may not be pretty, but as part of an emergency kit, I personally am more concerned with function.
