I have been a long time member of CPF, but sometimes I don't follow all of the new lights as close as I would like. With that in mind, I am looking for a small, bright LED flashlight that can be clipped onto a brim of a baseball cap. Some months back, I was pretty close to getting a Jetbeam Niteye EC-R16. Now that several months have passed, are there any other similar lights that small that have a high lumen output? I like the idea of the turbo output of 750 lumens. I am also aware that it will only run for about a half an hour at that setting with a 16340 cell.
Jetbeam Niteye EC-R16 Or Similar Sized Light With Equal Or Greater Number Of Lumens?

FWIW:
I can't recommend a flashlight but Dazed1 is running a group buy for the R16.

Don't forget you can run it on 18350 cells for better runtimes. There are several similar lights like the Fenix RC09(available in aluminum or titanium), or you could get a Nitecore EC11 and EC21 that will let you use a 16340, 18350, or swap body tubes with the EC 20 and run an 18650 for really long runtimes.
You might be able to broaden your horizons if you don't restrict yourself to lights that come with hat-friendly clips. If there is another light you like more, you may be able to get an aftermarket clip for it that will allow you to clip it to your hat.
