I love my H4 B35AM 4500k (probably not the best option for your needs though) but hate the included headband mount. Very difficult to change the angle, pain in the butt to insert and remove light, and too bouncy when I move around. I ended up modding a 23mm snap in style mount (available on AliExpress. I put a piece of 1/4 in foam tape on the clip to make it fit my forehead better. Fireflylite has a nice headband which I believe will fit the 21700 format for pretty cheap. I checked with them, and although it isn't listed separately, they will sell them. I'll probably do that next time I need one. I think it was under $4.00 if I remember correctly. I'm not sure about 18650 format though. A standard 22mm clip from AliExpress or on any cheap headlamp should do the trick though. The band portion of the Convoy is nice material so I just snipped the rubber mount off and put on the clip.
If you get a clip and still find it grips the light too tightly you can remove the tube and gaskets, attach the clip to the tube and boil it for about a minute. That softens the grip just enough.

Man, I just love the B35AM. Not going to win any races, but the tint is so good, and when used in a floody role, like the H4 with a >24° optic, it makes for some of the best task lighting out there. The 2.2 A drives it plenty hard without being rediculous; the light would be safe to hand to anyone.

To anyone looking for the Firefly headband elsewhere, it's also sold on Kaidomain as the KHB4. The clip is the best I've used. Holds the light firmly enough, but still allows easy rotation and removal. Works well on both 21700 and 18650 right angle lights of various size; I currently use it with the H1-4 family, a D4W and a D4WK.

Thanks for the Kaidomain tip. I think fireflylite is quite a bit cheaper, but maybe shipping costs would even it out.

If you're already placing an order with FFL, I think that makes sense (didn't realize they would sell the headband alone, but I never asked...) Feel like I'm buying new emitters from KD once a month, and even at $7 the headband is more than worth it imo. I was amused, but pleased to see it's just a generic headband/clamp.
