"Designed for military basic training, the Sidewinder Boot can tackle the rigors of boot camp while also providing a durable right angle flashlight for military and other tactical users at an affordable price point," said Streamlight President and Chief Executive Officer Ray Sharrah. "The tilting head is key for directing light at any angle for long periods of time, and the red slide-in-place filter eliminates the need for a filter accessory which is subject to being lost or broken."
The Sidewinder Boot includes a white LED that offers 55 lumens of bright, white light, 1,000 candela, and a 63-metre beam distance. On the low setting, the light offers 7 lumens, 140 candela, and a 24-metre beam distance. Run time ranges from 8 hours on high with an additional 20 hours at 7 lumens, to 90 hours on low.
The light uses two (2) AA alkaline batteries, or two (2) lithium AA batteries for extended operation in extreme temperatures (-40º F to 150º F). Tactile battery polarity indicators are provided to facilitate battery replacement in the dark, and the hinged battery compartment prevents cap loss. A rubber dome actuator ergonomically integrates the On-Off and intensity functions, eliminating the need to access separate switching locations, while providing easy access even with heavy gloves.
