I don’t want to wrap the flashlight in insulating nylon cord to attach a lanyard.
If I can get a ring onto it somehow, that’d work fine, I use the little spring “lobster claw” clips a lot attached by split rings to flashlights that have the little hole drilled (or I drill the hole … hmmm ….)
The Solarforce belt clips all have little openings suitable to attach a split ring. Usually I attach glow-in-the-dark keyfobs that way (hat tip to Andygold who made them for a while).
That Nitecore clip looks close, but the arms are a little too wide and the place where the arms meet has an extra tongue thing to catch fabric on. It might be about right after some minor adjustments.
Do the fingers stick out far enough to get in the way?
I’d guess that’s a (poor) attempt to solve the problem you’d get without that extra tongue thing — the right angle connection between the legs and body parts snags fabric in my experience with Convoy’s clips.
I have one clip that makes that transition a smooth curve that feeds the fabric or belt edge into the narrower part of the gap smoothly. It came on an Orcatorch T11:
Here’s another look:
It’s solved that cloth-catching problem nicely. I wish they had several sizes and sold them seperately but, no.
That tongue-free design is the same as I’ve seen on recent Olight clips (S-Mini). Their older ones have been pretty nice too though. I’m hoping one of these might fit:
(not sure if image matches actual product; they use the same image for several different clips)
noboneshotdog: No news yet. I still need to try some ideas for better thermal regulation though, and perhaps some other little details, before I’ll consider it ready.
