Stremlght Sidewinder X User Mdl Coy

The Streamlight Sidewinder X is a compact, right-angle tactical flashlight built for hands-free operation in challenging environments. This user-configurable model gives you the flexibility to choose between white light and one of three color options—red, green, or blue—plus infrared capability, making it equally at home in a tactical kit, on a search-and-rescue mission, or mounted on patrol gear where a conventional handheld light won't cut it.

The signature tilting head articulates through 185 degrees, letting you angle the beam exactly where you need it without repositioning your body or hands. A sturdy gear clip secures the light to a hat brim, pack strap, or rifle rail, positioning output where your eyes naturally look. Operators can dial white LED output between high (275 lumens, 113-meter beam, 3,200 candela) and lower settings, adjusting both brightness and runtime to match the mission—push hard when you need maximum reach, or dial back to extend battery life on longer operations.

Power flexibility is built in: the light runs on either AA or CR123A batteries, giving you options depending on what's in your kit. The compact form factor and angle-head design make it practical for tight spaces, vehicle interiors, or hands-free scanning without the bulk of a traditional flashlight. If you're outfitting a tactical loadout, managing a night operation, or simply need a light that adapts to unconventional mounting, the Sidewinder X delivers the configurability and durability that serious users demand.
