Great review. A bit pricey for me but looks like a great utility light.
btw nice see a fellow ''boy from the dwarf''
Quotebtw nice see a fellow ''boy from the dwarf'' Smeghead all the way, I just finished reading all four novels again. Interesting to see how the two authors diverged from each other but still had some pretty dark ideas in the last two books. So good, it's one of the few series I really wish had continued on.

....So I see a brown blur drop from my pocket, hit the floor and bouced 6' back into the air (wow) before coming to a rest on top of our full-size wine cooler.....
Great review Spoon I'm in the same boat as Benner; I really want one but I'll be buggered if I'm paying 60 quid for it. I want one even more now I know they bounce too
I've been tempted by one of these recently. Any more thoughts Spoon?
Does anyone have any ideas why Streamlight have only given a 1 years warranty with this light? Everything else they sell, including all their new products, has the limited lifetime warranty so why doesn't the Sidewinder?I have emailed Streamlight to see what they say about it, but anyone here have any thoughts

It does seem odd though. Especially as it is supposed to be designed for ruggedness and use in the military.

Just looked again and as far as I could see every light has a lifetime warranty apart from the Sidewinder and this;http://www.streamlight.com/product/product.aspx?pid=128 and I have no idea why
