Description
The Sidewinder Compact III Aviation Model is a compact multi-fuel flashlight in Coyote, supplied with an NVG mount for the HGU-84 rotary wing aircrew helmet.
This Aviation Model combines a white LED with green, blue and IR LEDs, selected via a pull-to-turn rotary selector knob. It runs on one AA alkaline or CR123A lithium battery, and one of each is included.
The supplied NVG mount allows easy non-permanent attachment to the NVG bracket on the HGU-84 rotary wing aircrew helmet without tools, and the light also fits existing Sidewinder mounts and adapters.
Key features
- White LED output — The white LED delivers up to 275 lumens and 113 m on CR123A, or up to 140 lumens and 85 m on an AA alkaline battery.
- Long low-mode runtime — Low mode runs for 100+ hrs on CR123A and 70+ hrs on an AA alkaline battery.
- Colour and IR LEDs — Green (8.0 lumens), blue (2.0 lumens) and IR (50mW) LEDs are available alongside the white LED.
- Multi-fuel power — Uses one AA alkaline or CR123A lithium battery and also accepts one lithium AA battery.
- Rotary selector knob — The pull-to-turn rotary selector knob prevents accidental mode changes and allows selection of LED colour.
- Waterproof and impact tested — IPX7 waterproof to 1 m for 30 minutes and 3 m impact-resistance tested.
- Tough construction — A high impact super-tough nylon case is paired with an unbreakable polycarbonate lens with scratch-resistant coating.
- Lightweight — Weighs 76.5 g with a CR123A battery or 85 g with an AA alkaline battery.
