Streamlight Multi Fuel Sidewinder X Flashlight

Streamlight Inc, one of America’s most popular flashlight and tactical light companies, has just unveiled the new Sidewinder X, a high-output, multi-fuel, military-grade flashlight built to provide light for a variety of illumination needs. The Streamlight Sidewinder X has four different LED color options and intensity levels. It can put out up to 275 lumens and it feeds from either AA batteries or a single lithium CR123A battery. For maximum utility, the new Streamlight Sidewinder X is also built with a 185-degree articulating head. The Sidewinder X is constructed from a high impact tough nylon polymer for increased durability and in addition to its inherent impact resistance, this material is also stands up well against the elements. All Sidewinder X lenses are made from a thick polycarbonate material with a scratch resistant coating and built-in gasket sealing.

The Sidewinder X is available in three different models:

  • Military, programmed with white, red, blue and IR outputs.
  • Aviation, programmed with white, green, blue and IR outputs.
  • A new User Configurable model that allows users to choose two colors from among red, green or blue LEDs in addition to white and IR LEDs programmed into the light.

“This is the brightest light in the Sidewinder family, while also providing battery versatility to suit individual needs or preferences,” said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. “In addition to white light, users can select the infrared (IR) or green LEDs for compatibility with night vision equipment, the blue LED to check injured personnel for bleeding, or the red LED to maintain night vision when map reading or for cockpit navigation, all in one compact, waterproof package.”
