You can also put that clip on a ball cap to use it as a head lamp.
I've been out the military 20yrs., all the equipment and uniforms have changed. I still like the L neck flashlight.
wooooooh so awesomee and sover cute hehehe
I want one of these soooo bad!!!!
Thanks for the info.
If you buy the military version, you will notice a notch that says IR Safe on it. That is there so you know if the light is still on with the naked eye so as to prevent draining the battery.
Thanks. I think I will buy the military version as well.
Yes sir, it is available to the public. The military model has a IR led used for night vision devices.
Thanks for the update and correction. Is the Military version available to the public?
I have the military version of this light, I love it , very well made. You mentioned that it was made of aluminum, actually it is made of good quality polymer plastic material .Take care.
Your welcome. Glad to help. God bless!
Thanks for the update and clarification. Anthony.
Just fyi, this comes in three models: sportsman, aviation, and military. This is the sportsman model, not the military. Blessings!
Thanks for the info. Anthony.
The Aviation model has the green light, its not IR. The Military model has the IR instead of the green. IR is invisible to the naked eye, it can only be seen under night vision. Hope this helps. Nice review
Yes, it does. I think the green is the IR.
So does it have a red, blue, white, green and an IR light or is the green the IR?
Churs
I have not tried, but I am sure you can. Thanks for watching.
I love mine also. I carry it on my Go Bag. Very tough and reliable. Thanks for watching. Anthony.
Had mine for a year now. It's the balls! has c4 led,red,ir,blue! night fleet Mech outside very tough like me! ENJOY
Thanks. This is a great product. Anthony.
Very well done! I learned even more as usual! Thanks!
Looks like a great light!
Yes. It has a red, green and blue light along with the regular light. All adjustable brightness and beacon modes. I use mine when I go running. Thanks for watching.
I like the video review. Does it also have a red light?
Anyway, I have been wanting one for a while and I think I will take the plunge as real estate sales kick up a bit. It might have been even cooler in a pitch black setting. Thanks for the good info.
@MrSteveParsons Thanks for watching. It is a very good piece of gear. Anthony.
Thankyou for for showing this, it was really helpful.
@BerettaM9USAF I will check out Amazon and pick one up. Thanks for the info!
@biblesnbarbells Yes, amazon had the compact green [wish it came in flat black] I like the cr123 battery format and already have that size rechargables w/nano charger. It had been hovering around $50 since before the holidays. Very xcited, I'm a big time gear-junkie.
@BerettaM9USAF I love my sidewinder. Did you buy the small model?
@biblesnbarbells hope so, I just bought four compact models! found for $35 and jumped on it.
@BerettaM9USAF I am not 100% sure. I think it is water resistant. I will find out.
Is it really water-proof or just water-resistant? Anyone know or tested for sure, not just what manufacturer claims?
@douro20 I did not know it was standard issue. It is a great piece of gear. Very versatile. Thanks for watching. Anthony.
I understand that this is the new standard issue A/N flashlight…I like it.
@rainmechanic FORM FACTOR?its built this way to be able to do what it does, if you had it in hand you would see it is a very good product
@rainmechanic The Streamlight Sidewinder has some very good applications: I have one attached to the front of my CAMELBAK Delta 5 Molle Vest. I also use one when I run attached to my CamelBak MULE Hydration Pack. I use the red signal feature so vehicles can see me at night. There is also a military application where it attaches to your helmet via an adapter making hands free possible. The rotating head is useful also. Thanks for watching. Anthony.
Streamlights seem very overpriced compared to the contemporary competition like Fenix..4sevens..Olight…ect……. And besides the strange design.. this light also looks to have a freakishly large form factor for a 2 cell AA led light….
@bladegeo
It is a very good and versatile light. Thanks for watching.
@3charter
