4 White LED output levels with IR and Color LEDs
Power levels vary in the White LED output from 5 lumens at the lowest, 35 and 80 lumens mid level and a top rating of 275 lumens. With a range of 14-113 metres. Strobe and beacon modes are built in too for emergency use.
IR and Color LED options for Red/Blue/Green (depending on model) make these lights extremely useful for law enforcement or miliary use where a discreet light color might be needed.
A clever combination of Rotary knob (for output selection), simply pull and turn, the need to pull first prevents any issues with mode changing by accident. You can also feel where the IR mode is by hand, with a push button switch to pick the power level you need. It’s an effective and intuitive UI for operation of the Sidewinder X.
