 Streamlight Sidewinder Military Flashlight Streamlight’s newest tactical light, the versatile, hands-free Sidewinder™ -- packs twenty lights in one: four LED light colors with four intensities of light for each LED [low (5%), medium (20%), medium-high (50%), and high (100%)] plus a signaling strobe function for every LED color.
This compact, waterproof flashlight features an innovative articulating light head. The Sidewinder comes into two different models, one featuring an Infrared (IR) LED that is compatible with night vision equipment and a separate model that replaces the IR LED with a green LED, which is useful for outdoor safety and not spooking game.

The Sidewinder comes into two different models, one featuring an Infrared (IR) LED that is compatible with night vision equipment and a separate model that replaces the IR LED with a green LED, which is useful for outdoor safety and not spooking game.
The Sidewinder leverages the latest microprocessor-controlled, multi-source LED technology to allow users to select with a rotary knob switch between a Super-Bright High Flux white (20 Lumens typical at full intensity), IR (880 nm), red (630 nm) or blue (470 nm) LED. The signaling strobe function operates from the off position by pressing twice on the switch with any color LED.
The IR LED is designed to be compatible
with night vision equipment, making it ideal for night time military and
other tactical operations, while the green LED is useful for
illuminating without spooking game, as well as signaling for help or
alerting fellow outdoorsmen when hunting. The red LED maintains hunters’
or soldiers’ night vision, the blue LED can be used for multiple uses
such as checking injured personnel, emergency services applications or
for tracking. The white LED is designed for general, all- purpose use.
The articulating head design allows precise light placement within a
185-degree range, and the strong spring steel clip (with optional
integral helmet mount) securely fastens the Sidewinder to a helmet, belt
or MOLLE/PAL-equipped tactical vest.
The high-impact Nylon case and scratch-resistant, unbreakable
polycarbonate lens are O-ring sealed for exceptional durability. The
waterproof Sidewinder meets MIL-STD-810F, Method 512.4 guidelines for
waterproof operation, and runs on two “AA” size alkaline or lithium
batteries. The flashlight body is available in Coyote or green.
The Sidewinder delivers more than 100-hours of runtime with any LED
color at low intensity (5%). At full-intensity (100%), the Sidewinder
provides between seven and twelve hours of runtime, depending on LED
selection. The Sidewinder automatically shifts light intensity to the
low-power setting at the end of the rated battery runtime to maximize
battery life. |
