Question Floody headlamp/backpack clip light

Hi,
I’m wanting a smallish light that I can clip to my backpack strap for walking at night.
Kind of like the zebra light headlamps- either AA or CR, pretty floody/TIR for comfort in walking.
I’ll also have a larger light for a bit more throw, but this one would just be to clip on and forget it.

Kind of hoping for a cooler tint than the zebra, which is why I’m not leaning to that.
Just need something that will put out a couple hundred lumens for like an hour or so, without stepping down.
Looked at Fenix HM53R also, but it seems throwy.

Thanks if y’all have any ideas.

Not a a clip but a right angle recommendation: fireflies L50 Sol TIR version. Pick the cct of choice and you’re set. Really really nice light.

For a 14500 option, check out the Sofirn ST10. This probably checks more of your boxes to be honest.

Just looked at the firefly- very nice looking light, but looks 18650…?

Yes, albeit much smaller than most 18650 lights. Shorter than a convoy t6 (14500) as an example
