You can slide on different directions to change the side and angle in which the mini light will come off the adapter. There was a slight color variance, but I'm fairly sure that's due to 8 years of Arizona sun beating down on my tools as I work.

They've outlasted and out performed any other brand of cordless tools I've owned by several years, leaving me a bit of a fan-boy. Brands like Ridgid/AEG have integrated the battery monitor and sensor within the battery, while other brands have placed these components in the tool itself.

When DeWalt gave me an early-bird chance to try out their new battery adapter and bring modern battery technology to my older tools, I couldn't wait to put it in action. This adapter comes with the battery base to allow you to slide the light on one side and your battery on the other.
