The Streamlight Sidewinder Stalk is a compact tactical LED flashlight built for operators who need serious versatility without the bulk. This coyote-tan light delivers white, infrared, red, blue, and green LEDs in one low-profile package, so you're not juggling multiple illuminators on your rig. Whether you're running night vision operations, need visible-light illumination for close work, or want to mark positions with colored light, the Sidewinder Stalk handles it all from a single unit designed for minimal footprint and maximum control.

The flexible stalk lets you angle the beam where you need it, while the separate Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) switch gives you independent control of your main light and IFF beacon—critical when you need both functions operating simultaneously. Multi-fuel battery compatibility means you can run AA alkaline, AA lithium, or CR123A lithium cells depending on what's in your kit, so you're never stranded by a single battery type. With output options ranging from low to strobe modes on both visible and IR, you've got the control to match your mission: 5.6 hours of runtime on high, 95 hours on low, and a 28-meter beam distance that reaches out far enough for tactical work without over-broadcasting your position.

This is the light for hunters running night optics, tactical shooters doing low-light drills, and anyone serious enough about their gear to demand redundancy and adaptability. The Coyote finish blends into most environments, and the compact design mounts easily to rails, helmets, or pack straps without the weight penalty of traditional scout-light setups.
