The Streamlight Sidewinder Stalk is a low-profile, hands-free lighting solution engineered for helmet and rail mounting. Its flexible stalk lets the operator precisely aim a compact multi-LED head; the unit supports visible white, multi-colour and IR LEDs plus an IR IFF beacon, and accepts multiple battery types for maximum field flexibility.
Technical Specifications
– Light sources: White LED plus multi-colour LEDs (red/blue/green) and IR LED; integrated IR IFF beacon for identification.
– Output (typical): nominal white output ~55–76 lumens depending on configuration / mode.
– Beam intensity: center candela in the hundreds to low thousands range (model/mode dependent — see manufacturer info sheet for exact candela per variant).
– Run time: very long runtime in low modes (manufacturer info sheet reports multi-hour/ multi-day runtimes in economy settings — consult datasheet for exact mode runtimes).
– Power / Multi-fuel: accepts CR123A or AA (alkaline or lithium) batteries — multi-fuel capability for logistic flexibility.
– Mounting: ARC-rail mount compatible (includes ARC mount / helmet clip options) and modular mounting assemblies for different platforms.
– Mechanical: flexible stalk for directional aiming; low-profile design to minimize snagging and point-of-aim shift.
