Pentagon Light

[Wazzock]

En me balandant sur Internet j'ai trouvé ces petites loupiottes.
Sa semble sympa pour la survie du fait de la taille, ampoule LED pour l'autonomie, crochet taille 1" qui permet de passer ça dans une sangle MOLLE ou autres pour une utilisation mains libres. Puis prix pas trop cher.

Ce que je trouve sympa aussi c'est le tailcap avec boussole intégré :

"Pentagon MOLLE Light

3/30/07 - When I first saw the new MOLLE light from Pentagon Light, it looked like they had taken the old G.I. D-cell angle flashlight, and put it through a shrinking machine. It's only 3.5" tall, weighs 1.5 oz and fits in the palm of your hand. It has a single 0.5 W white LED which puts out 40 lumens. The body is metal, and contains the single AA battery which provides 3 hours of runtime. The angled head is permanently attached to the body (at least I think it is - I was unable to unscrew it). A red filter is kept at the bottom of the tailcap, and is uncrewed and installed over the lens. The tailcap also houses a small survival compass. Initially, I didn't think the compass worked, as I couldn't get it to settle down and point correctly. Then, I removed the tailcap from the body, and presto! it worked. I guess the metal body interferes with the compass. Obviously, the compass cannot be used in the dark if the light is your only illumination.

There's a spring clip on the body which can be rotated. The light can be clipped to a vest, shirt etc, or placed through MOLLE webbing, as long as there's enough slack in the webbing to accomodate the diameter of the body. The on/off switch is the little black button on top of the head. Pressing down lightly on it turn the light on momentarily. Press it harder, and a faint 'click' is heard, and the light stays on. I'd prefer more is a positive detent, but that's just me. Just behind the switch is a bungee/dummy cord loop for tethering the light.

The light puts out a wide, very even beam with a brighter spot in the center. With the red filter, the light output is much reduced - suitable for close-up tasks only. The angled head makes it natural to point, without any weird position of the hand and wrist. Attaching the light to a vest provides hands-free lighting. It's a handy, practical little light, and when bought from CountyComm, comes with a nylon MOLLE pouch to put it in."
