Lost for 18 months in AZ desert and still works

"I dropped mine on my land in Arizona. A year later I found it, changed the battery and turned it in. I still use it."

Decent little light

"Not a bad lil light for the ole brain bucket. I’ve used a number of these over the years and this one’s pretty solid so far. I’d recommend it."

"Gotta have one"

Highly recommend

"I'm satisfied"

Great design

"Typical Streamlight quality build. Components are stout. Very flexible design that will accommodate multiple uses including a helmet mount. The four position selector is very rugged and having this many options (visible, IR, red, and blue) in this small a footprint is amazing. Does not come with its own headband, but will easily mount on one. Great design!!!"

Great light for Molle

"This is perfect for a battle belt or plate carrier."

— Dutch (5/5)

Useful helmet light

"I really like the low profile of this light and the multiple light options. Several degrees of brightness and even Infrared light for use with night vision. It is a Streamlight product, so I'm confident in its durability, but only time will tell."

— Jacob H. (5/5)

Sidewinder compact.

"Well thought out controls allow easy selection of desired light and help prevent accidentally turning on lights. Adjustable intensity levels are very useful. Helmet mount is easy to utilize and solid."

— Eric P. (4/5)

good light

"very bright"

— Danyar (5/5)

Sidewinder Compact

"First off, brighter doesn't always mean better. There are plenty of crazy bright flashlights out there now days and many manufacturers seem to focus on brightness rather than actual function. No, this is not the bright light you've ever seen but, as a flashlight guy, if I'm completely honest, this is more than bright enough for close spaces, indoors, general purpose, camping, emergency use etc. Couple that with the extremely versatile functionality of the design itself and you have one hell of a tool. The flat shape with the articulated head means this light can be standing up, laying down, used as a candle, bent over an overhead shelf and used as a lamp, .... the possible usages are endless. Top that all off with a rugged yet weight friendly build, intuitive interfaces, and the range of light options and now you have one of my favorite illumination tools to date. Red and blue lights are great for camping or at the side of the highway or any time you just need to see without blinding yourself. The white light is plenty bright and has a nice strong central focus with a wide diffused outer periphery. The flashing capabilities, especially with the colored lights, means this would be a great emergency signal light. All around I could not be more satisfied with this light in any way."
