Streamlight Sidewinder Stalk® Helmet Light - ARC Rail model

Sidewinder Stalk® Military Helmet Light – Flexible Multi-Fuel Tactical System

The Sidewinder Stalk® is the ultimate low-profile tactical illumination solution, engineered to streamline an operator’s kit by combining multiple light sources into a single, high-performance unit. Featuring a flexible 14cm stalk, this system provides unmatched maneuverability, allowing you to precision-aim your beam for hands-free tasks, map reading, or signaling.

Designed for the modern battlefield, the Sidewinder Stalk® is a multi-fuel powerhouse, compatible with CR123A, AA Lithium, or AA Alkaline batteries, ensuring operational readiness regardless of supply chain availability.

Advanced Multi-Spectrum LED Head

The Stalk system integrates five distinct light sources into a single flexible head, each with four output modes (Low, Medium, High, and Strobe):

• White LED: High-performance beam for maximum clarity (up to 76 lumens).
• IR LED (940nm): Essential for covert operations and night vision compatibility.
• Red LED: Ideal for preserving natural night vision during low-light maneuvers.
• Blue LED: Specialized utility for medical triage and forensic identification.
• Green LED: Optimized for map reading and tracking in outdoor terrain.

Integrated IFF Beacon (Identification Friend or Foe)

Safety and coordination are paramount. The Sidewinder Stalk® features a dedicated Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) strobe, operated by a separate three-position switch. This allows the operator to run the main illumination and the IFF beacon simultaneously when required.

Built for Mission-Critical Environments

Housed in a rugged, impact-resistant body, this light meets the most demanding military specifications:

• Military Grade Construction: Fully compliant with MIL-STD-810H, Method 512.6.
• IP67 Waterproof: Dust-tight and waterproof up to 1 meter for 30 minutes; O-ring and gasket sealed.
• Impact Resistance: Tested for 3-meter multiple orientation drops.
• Tactical Controls: A rotary selector knob and push-button power switch are designed to prevent accidental mode changes, even when wearing heavy tactical gloves.

Universal Mounting & Ergonomics

The Sidewinder Stalk® includes a durable, high-tension clip that attaches seamlessly to tactical helmets or MOLLE vests, providing a rock-solid hands-free lighting platform that won't snag on gear. 

Package also includes a durable, high-tension ARC Rail™ Clip, allowing for a secure and seamless attachment to tactical helmet rails. This ensures the light remains stable and easy to operate even during high-intensity movement.

For additional versatility, the kit features a dedicated ARC Rail Mount designed for Velcro® attachment. This allows the operator to mount the light directly onto the loop panels of a helmet or tactical vest, providing a reliable hands-free lighting platform that won't snag on gear and can be repositioned in seconds.
