I have seen the flyer

Your assumption is correct.  The flyer only had drawings of the new
light, no pictures.  From what I could tell, all the old heads have 
remained unchanged.  The light has battery modules that are connected
end-to-end to make more powerful packs.  Thus, the 14 amp light will
be essentially twice as long as the 7 amp.  They have a cap that goes
on the "top" which contains the cord and switch.  There is also 
another end piece which attaches to the bottom.  I assume there are
some kind of battery connectors on both ends of the modules although
the flyer did not show them.  It also did not show what kinds of seals
are used.  I guess we just have to wait until DEMA.
