Not sure that carbon fiber can be used as a clip.could be wrong here but a clip needs to be a spring type material.

Carbon fiber is very strong, but also very brittle I believe. There's a good reason why you'll probably never see a CF clip on a flashlight.
As for a flashlight that uses carbon fiber, there are a couple, but the one that comes first to mind is the Atlas C57 which was a Kickstarter project a couple years back. Cool little 18650-based flashlight, although it was backed I don't think it ever really took off.
Lumintop's Prince series also uses carbon fiber? That might be what you're looking for.

Prometheus does one and Exposure UK. Clips??? Never saw one for a flashlight. Probably could be made but you'd have to do some homework and have one made.

I doubt that there is any clip for a flashlight just because of low demand and high cost, relatively speaking compared to normal steel clips.

How the heck would you make a clip out of carbon fiber? It isn't a spring material. I suppose you could wrap a piece of steel, but it would de-laminate eventually with the kind of use a pocket clip sees

As nbp pointed out, carbon fiber clip is quite common in the knife world but usually a bolt/screw in type and not the bent type with a ring for the light to go through.
They are quite durable and can be made to have high retention.
