Can someone give me some opinions on the Streamlight Sidewinder Military Flashlight? I don't know if the requirement for two lithium AA cells will allow me to use rechargables or not. Botach has this thing on sale for $43, but the output has me wondering how practical it would be.
There's a movie you can play on the website. Any views would be appreciated.
(BTW, this airline restriction on lithiums is a raw deal. Security concerns in this country have made survival provisions increasingly difficult to maintain. No strike-anywhere matches (bombmaking danger), no iodine more than 2 oz. (can be used in meth labs), and I wouldn't be surprised if they stopped even shipping lithium batteries at some point. Thank goodness flashlights are still fairly easy to get and keep. Just wait until the government discovers that meth manufacturers can use them to see incredients in the dark! Then we'll need perscriptions to buy the bloody things!)
Thanks!
