Heard that Pentagon is coming out with a 1xAA, right angle light designed to go on a MOLLE ladder. Anyone know anything about it?

It's called the Molle Light. The specs are:

Brightness: 25 lumens
Run-Time: 5 hours
Batteries: One AA battery
Lamp: 0.5 Watt White LED (Nichia Rigel)
Filters: Red or Blue (attaches to tailcap for storage.)
Length: 3.4"(86mm)
Weight: 1.5 oz (42 grams)
There also is an optional compass that can be put in the tailcap compartment.
 
Seems a bit gimmicy, does it have a strobe function? that would be useful.
 
It looks like it only has one power level with no strobe. What is funny is how one page claims "30 lumens of light output" with "at least 12 hours of continuous runtime" Then on the next page it says 25 lumens and 5 hr runtime.

The plastic parts look really cheap. I don't know what material they are using but they should have used something nice like glass filled nylon and at least textured the mold with a medium edm finish to try to make it look as nice as the Surefire G2.
 
The clip... has it a fixed position or can I turn it? (maybe a stupid question but better safe than sorry)
 
The clip can turn. They show it with the clip rotated to the side and also to the back.

DEAL!!! I was looking for something like the Inova 24/7, but I don't need/want all the different modes. This Pentagon Molle Light looks nicer and more versatile to me. It's smaller than it seems on the pictures? The smaller the better!
I guess I don't have to ask if it's resistant against rain...

Those would also make nice cycling taillites...
