The Streamlight Sidewinder is a versatile flashlight designed to meet various hands-free task illumination requirements. It offers multiple color LEDs with adjustable outputs and runtimes, making it suitable for a wide range of applications. Here are the key features and specifications of the Streamlight Sidewinder:
1. Hands-Free Operation: The flashlight is designed for hands-free use and features a 185˚ tilting head, allowing you to position the illumination source precisely where it’s needed. It also includes a belt or web clip for easy attachment to your work area.
2. Model and LED Configurations: The Streamlight Sidewinder is available in different models and light configurations to cater to different needs. The Military Model includes White, Red, IR-IFF (Infrared Identification Friend or Foe), and Blue LEDs, while the Aviation Model features White, Green, IR-IFF, and Blue LEDs.
3. LED Technology: It utilizes C4® LED technology for the white LED, which is shockproof and has a 50,000-hour lifetime. Additionally, it includes 5mm LEDs in various colors, all impervious to shock with 100,000-hour lifetimes.
4. Durable Construction: The flashlight is built to last with an unbreakable polycarbonate lens that has a scratch-resistant coating. It is gasket-sealed to ensure water resistance.
5. Battery Options: The Streamlight Sidewinder operates on two “AA” size alkaline cells, which are readily available for easy replacement. It also supports lithium “AA” cells for extended operation in extreme temperature environments (-40F to 150F). The flashlight has tactile battery polarity indicators on the body to facilitate battery replacement in the dark, and the battery compartment cap is tethered to prevent loss.
6. Rotary Knob and Controls: The flashlight features a rotary knob with a tactile indicator for selecting the IR LED position (or Green LED position for the Sportsman model). A push-button switch enables you to turn the selected illumination source on or off, and a double-click of the push-button activates a high-output strobe for the selected illumination source.
7. Power Modes: Depending on the model, the flashlight may power on at low output and progress to the highest output in four discrete steps, or it may power on at high output and step down to low.
8. Impact Resistance: The Streamlight Sidewinder is tested for multiple orientation impact resistance at 3 meters.
9. Waterproof Design: It is IPX7-rated, making it waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes. O-ring and gasket-sealed openings ensure waterproof operation. It also meets MIL-STD-810F, Method 512.4 for durability.
10. Attachment Options: The flashlight features cord attachment holes in the battery compartment cover capable of supporting 25 pounds of load. It also includes a durable belt/clothing clip with an integral helmet mount, and the attachment screw can withstand 30 inch-pounds of average torque without failure or stripping.
11. Dimensions and Weight: The flashlight’s dimensions are approximately 2.34″ x 1.08″ x 4.65″ (5.94 x 2.74 x 11.81 cm), and its weight varies depending on the type of batteries used: 4.38 oz (124 g) for lithium batteries and 5.02 oz (142 g) for alkaline batteries.
12. Color Options: The Streamlight Sidewinder is available in Coyote Tan.
13. Included Batteries: Alkaline batteries are included with the purchase.
14. Case: The flashlight comes with a high-impact, super-tough nylon case that offers exceptional durability and weather resistance.
15. Assembled in USA: The Streamlight Sidewinder is proudly assembled in the United States.
