Trail-Ready Brightness and Performance in a Compact, Hands-Free Hat and Helmet Light

Streamlight®, Inc., a leading provider of high-performance lighting tools, announces the SL-SideSaddle® series, a new hands-free lighting solution built for outdoor adventure and recreational use. Using the hat light mounting system, it seamlessly fits baseball hats and bump caps. It also works in conjunction with athletic climbing or safety helmets using the universal mounting system. The SL-SideSaddle is available in USB rechargeable and alkaline battery-powered versions, and black or yellow color options.

The SL-SideSaddle delivers high-output spot, flood, and spot/flood combined beam options with a programmable rear-facing blue safety light for hiking, camping, climbing, and low-light trail navigation. Its push-button tail switch remembers the last beam mode and easily cycles between brightness settings for customizable control on the go.

With a maximum output of 400 lumens for 5 hours, the SL-SideSaddle USB provides ample light for outdoor tasks. On low spot, the light offers 12 hours of run time and up to 100 lumens. The alkaline version provides up to 300 lumens with a run time of up to 5 hours, on the spot/flood combo setting. The low flood setting provides up to 16 hours of run time at 60 lumens, also depending on the selected mode.

The SL-SideSaddle USB is powered by a 2000 mAh lithium polymer cell with USB-C rechargeability. The alkaline version runs on three AAA alkaline batteries.

“The SL-SideSaddle series is setting a new standard in hands-free lighting,” said Michael F. Dineen, Streamlight President. “Designed for outdoor enthusiasts who demand versatility and high performance, the SL-SideSaddle offers reliable illumination without interfering with your gear. Whether mounted on athletic helmets or clipped to a baseball cap, it’s the perfect companion for all of your outdoor adventures.”

Built for rugged use, the SL-SideSaddle series features a tough polycarbonate thermoplastic construction and an unbreakable polycarbonate lens that is impervious to shock and drop-tested to withstand a 2-meter impact. The hat light system, for mounting on a baseball hat or bump cap, includes mounting hardware to securely attach the SL-SideSaddle. The universal mounting system provides the necessary strap and mounts that allow the light to be attached to athletic climbing or safety helmets.

The USB version of the light is 3 inches long and 1.72 inches wide, with a height of 1.14 inches and a weight of 3.1 ounces. The alkaline version of the light measures 3 inches long by 2.25 inches wide and 1.14 inches tall, and weighs 3.4 ounces with batteries installed. The lights have MSRPs of $94.34 (USB) and $62.54 (alkaline) and are backed by Streamlight’s Limited Lifetime Warranty.
