Streamlight Sidewinder Compact II

The Sidewinder Compact II is a purpose-built tactical and field light with a feature set most headlamps lack: four separate LEDs, white, red, blue, and infrared, each with four brightness levels. The IR output is visible only through night-vision devices, the red preserves night-adjusted vision, and the blue aids map reading, while the 185-degree tilting body and helmet, headstrap, or MOLLE mounting adapt it to any carry. It is multi-fuel, running on CR123A or AA, and rated IPX7 waterproof with a 3-meter impact spec. A specialized light for those who need light discipline and versatility over raw lumens.
