Sidewinder® Rescue | Hands-Free Military Flashlight | Streamlight®

Be prepared for any emergency with the Sidewinder Rescue hands-free flashlight. This light uses four colored LEDs to create distress signals visible in any direction. This versatile tool is essential for professionals who require reliable illumination in high-stakes environments. It combines high-output performance with a compact design for maximum utility.

• Four LEDs (white, blue, IR, green) provide the colors you need for a distress marker; no need to use filters. Each color serves a specific tactical or emergency purpose during field operations.
• All LEDs provide unidirectional light for general needs and omnidirectional light when using the diffuser. This flexibility allows for both focused tasks and broad area signaling in the dark.
• IPX7-rated design; waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes; meets MIL-STD-810F, Method 512.4. This ensures durability in extreme weather conditions or accidental submersion.
• Assembled in the USA. Quality craftsmanship ensures the device withstands rigorous daily use in the field.

Features of the Sidewinder Rescue hands-free flashlight

The Sidewinder Rescue is a slim, lightweight personal light and a life-saving beacon for swift water rescue operations. It is designed to be easily manipulated even when wearing heavy gloves.

• Four LEDs provide the colors you need for a distress marker:
  • White LED for bright light: 55 lumens; 69m beam distance; 1,175 candela. Ideal for general illumination and navigational tasks.
  • Blue LED (470nm peak) alerts friendly forces; 1.8 lumens; 23m beam distance. Essential for identification in tactical scenarios.
  • IR LED (880nm peak) for covert operations: 25mW/sr (min) radiant intensity. Provides visibility under night vision equipment.
  • Green LED (527nm peak) to help preserve night vision: 4.5 lumens; 16m beam distance. Useful for map reading and close-range work.
• All LEDs provide unidirectional light and omnidirectional light when using the slide-in-place diffuser.
  • Diffuser provides omni-directional light per CID A-A-59176. This allows for 360-degree visibility during critical rescue maneuvers.
• High-impact nylon cases offer exceptional durability and weather resistance; gasket-sealed polycarbonate lens protects the internal components.
• Flash rate: 120 bpm (default); push and hold button for 50 bpm. This feature allows users to adjust signaling based on tactical requirements.
• Powered by two AA alkaline batteries (included); also accepts two AA lithium batteries for enhanced performance in cold temperatures.
• IPX7-rated design; waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes. The rugged housing is built to endure the Toughest environments on earth.
• 3-meter multiple orientation impact resistance tested. The unit survives significant drops on varying surfaces without loss of function.
• Push-button on/off switch. Double-click initiates strobe mode; tactile indicator on rotary knob allows for operation in total darkness.
• Pull-to-turn rotary selector knob prevents accidental mode changes. This locking mechanism ensures the light stays in the chosen setting.
• L x W x D: 2.34 in x 1.08 in x 4.65 in. The ergonomic shape fits comfortably in the hand or attached to tactical gear.
• Weight: Lithium 4.38 oz; Alkaline 5.02 oz. This lightweight profile reduces fatigue during long deployments or rescue missions.
• Assembled in the USA. Built with components that meet or exceed stringent military and industrial standards for reliability.
