## Description

The Streamlight 14516 Sidewinder III is an ultra-compact, high-output, multi-fuel flashlight built for hands-free use in the field. A 185-degree tilting body and integrated belt/gear clip let you position the beam exactly where you need it, and the light runs on one AA alkaline battery or 1 x non-rechargeable battery (both included), with a lithium AA option for extended operation from -40 degrees F to 150 degrees F. On the included non-rechargeable battery, the white LED delivers up to 275 lumens, 3,200 candela, and a 113-meter beam on high, stepping down to a Survival Mode that runs over 100 hours on low. On AA alkaline, output is 140 lumens and 1,800 candela with 70+ hours on low. This Military model is equipped with fixed white, red, blue, and IR LEDs, each offering 4 brightness levels plus strobe. Built from high-impact, super-tough nylon with O-ring-sealed openings and a scratch-resistant polycarbonate lens, this light is IPX7 waterproof to 1 meter for 30 minutes, 3-meter impact-resistance tested, and meets MIL-STD-810H, Method 512.6. It fits existing Sidewinder mounts and adapters, and Streamlight backs the light itself with a 12-month limited warranty against manufacturing defects (batteries excluded).

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's the difference between the military model and the aviation model? From what I can tell they're both the same except the aviation model pricier.**
A: One has a red light the other has a green light. Also the mounting hardware for the helmet might be different since military aviation typically use ANVIS style mounts for their NVGs. Whereas the troops on the ground use the norotos mount for their NVGs.

**Q: does this come with the headband?**
A: Yes, mine came with a really nice handband and another mounting clip.

**Q: Is there an attachment to make it more secure on my molle vest?**
A: The clip it has on it is molle compatible.
