I'm looking for a MOLLE mounted hands-free flashlight to go on my FLC, but I have no idea what all is out there and whats decent or crap.
I don't want one of those tiny little "task lights" that only puts out a couple lumens for reading maps and stuff, I want a light poweful enough to walk through the woods with. I'm guessing the angle-head style is what I seek, but like I said I don't know much about my options with this style of light. I'd prefer USA made (not a requirement, but definitely prefered) and I'm willing to buy surplus as long as it isn't too beat up. Don't need IR capability as I have no NODS and won't for a long, long time. So, what are my options? |

Not sure about the use you are describing. Just about any MOLLE mount is going to bounce around while moving and make you a huge target in non permissive situations. Based on walking in the woods situations, I would strongly recommend a head mounted flashlight if not trying to be sneaky. Head lamps illuminate where you look.
I do have a several of the County Comm task lights that fit onto MOLLE web straps. |

I have one of these:
QUAD TACTICAL MPLS I just use it as a headlamp but the strap comes right off to attach it to molle. Looks like all the Princeton Tec tactical headlamps are like that. I also have a Petzl Tikka and it doesn't look like it can mount the same way. |

It's a 1080 lumen light that converts between straight and 90 degrees. It also comes with a metal belt clip that you could hook over the molle, in theory. I don't run it up front but it does fit into a taco real well:
