Streamlight Sidewinder X

This high-output, multi-fuel, military-style light with a tilting head is perfect for hunters and home defenders looking for more than just a handheld light—the Sidewinder X User Configurable Model features high-candela (3,200), white, 275-lumen LED output—that runs up to 4.75 hours on two AA batteries or 2.75 hours on a single lithium CR123A battery.

A push-button activation switch is housed with a pull-to-turn, locking, rotary mode selector that provides options for an infrared beam, a dim red, green or blue color setting and multiple white-light modes.

The 4.4-oz. light (AA batteries included) is built of high-impact nylon, contains a rugged polycarbonate lens and comes with an IPX7 rating for dust, shock and waterproofing.

MSRP is $133. For more information, visit streamlight.com.
