Streamlight Sidewinder® Rescue Hands Free Light

The Sidewinder Rescue is a slim, lightweight personal light that can be used as a life-saving beacon in times of distress or during swift water rescue operations. A 185° articulating head features a “slide-in-place” diffuser that projects omni-directional light so you can be seen from almost anywhere.

• Four LEDs provide all of the colors you need for a distress marker – no need to use filters that can get lost or broken
  • White LED for bright light: 55 lumens; 69m beam distance; 1,175 candela
  • Blue LED (470 nm peak wavelength ) alerts friendly forces; distinguishes strobe from ground fire: 1.8 lumens; 23m beam distance; 130 candela
  • IR LED (880 nm peak wavelength) for covert operations: 25mW/sr (min) radiant intensity
  • Green LED (527 nm peak wavelength ) to help preserve night vision: 4.5 lumens; 16m beam distance; 68 candela
• All LEDs provide unidirectional light for general lighting needs and omni-directional light when using the slide-in-place diffuser
• Diffuser provides omni-directional light per CID A-A-59176  (formerly MIL-SPEC MIL-L-38217D)
• Flash rate: 120 bpm (default); push and hold button to achieve 50 bpm
• Two “AA” alkaline batteries (included) provide fast replacement with readily available batteries. Also accepts two “AA” lithium for extended operation in extreme temperature environments (-40F to 150F). Tactile battery polarity indication on body facilitates battery replacement in the dark. Battery compartment cap tethered to prevent loss of cap
• IPX7-rated design; waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes. O-ring and gasket-sealed openings for waterproof operation. Meets MIL-STD-810F, Method 512.4.
• 3m multiple orientation impact resistance tested
• Aluminum plate provides flat surface to adhere Velcro^® for attaching to helmet
• Paracord lanyard provides extra security from loss of the light and also allows it to be worn around the neck. Additionally, it can enhance air-to-ground visibility when the light is turned on and spun overhead like a lasso in a circular pattern to increase the likelihood of being spotted by a search and rescue team
• Cord attachment holes provided in battery compartment cover capable of supporting 25 lb of load
• Push-button switch enables/disables selected illumination source. Double-click of push-button initiates high output strobe of selected illumination source; tactile indicator on rotary knob for IR LED position
• Pull-to-turn rotary selector knob for LED selection; prevents accidental mode changes
• Powers on at low output and progresses to high intensity in four discrete steps; double-click push button for strobe (all LED colors have a strobe function); all functions can be performed one-handed
• L x W x D: 2.34″ x 1.08″ x 4.65″ (5.94 x 2.74 x 11.81 cm)
