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 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 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 OD 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.
