Operating the Blind Sider-X2™

The Blind Sider-X2™ is very simple to operate. Open the light 

housing by lifting the two (2) cam locking hasps up and forward 

towards the front of the unit. Fold open the light housing and 

install four (4) D cell batteries into the battery compartments 

located on the right hand side. Two batteries go in each tube 

and will fit snugly. All batteries should be installed with the 

negative (-) terminal of the battery pointing toward the top of 

the Blind Sider-X2™. Once batteries are installed, you are now 

ready to power the unit on. WARNING: LED is extremely bright, 

avoid looking directly into LED at all times.

Anti-Spook Technology™

When the Blind Sider-X2™ is activated, the LEDs will turn on 

in a very low power and gradually increase to full power over 

one minute time-frame. This gradual increase in brightness is 

especially effective in preventing the animal from spooking when 

the light is activated.

Brightness Control

The Blind Sider-X2™ was built to operate on a single LED 

for low power consumption, or two (2) LEDs for maximum 

brightness. You may use the Brightness Control Switch to select 

between using one or two LEDs.

Using Blind Sider-X2™ Motion Detection

Your Blind Sider-X2™ comes with a built in motion detector. 

To utilize the motion function, find the mode selector switch 

located on the panel opposite the batteries (left side). The Blind 

Sider-X2™ has a 3 position switch, OFF-ON-AUTO. To operate 

the device utilizing the motion sensor, simply slide the switch to 

the AUTO position. This will activate the motion sensor and the 

light will turn on when motion is detected, effectively illuminating 

your hunting area. If you would rather have your Blind 

Sider-X2™ remain ON for the duration of your hunt, switch the 

light to the ON position. This deactivates the motion sensor and 

provides constant power to the light until batteries are depleted.

Time Duration

When using The Blind Sider-X2™ in Motion Detection mode, 

the light will turn on when motion is detected. It will continue to 

operate as long as an animal(s) is actively moving in your area 

within range of the motion detector. Once game activity ceases, 

the light will remain on for a period of time, then power off. The 

Time Duration switch will allow you to adjust the amount of time 

(20 seconds, 90 seconds, 3 minutes, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, or 

15 minutes) the light stays on after game activity ceases before 

it powers off.

Multiple Power Options / Solar Charging

The Blind Sider-X2™ has three different options to power the 

light; using four (4) D size batteries, using an external 6 volt 

battery, and using an 18650 battery with a solar charger for 

maintenance free operation. 

 

  • To use D size batteries, move the Power Input Switch to the 

middle position labeled “4D”. Place four (4) D size batteries 

in the battery compartment with all of the positive sides 

pointing down.

  • To power with an external battery, move the Power Input 

Switch to the top position labeled “DC 6V”. Remove the 

rubber Plug in the bottom of the light, and then plug the 

optional power cord to the bottom of the light. Attach the 

other end of the power cord to a 6 volt battery.

  • To use the optional solar charger and 18650 battery, move 

the Power Input Switch to the bottom position labeled “Solar 

Charge”. Place the 18650 rechargeable battery in the “For 

Solar Charging Only” battery tray with the positive end 

facing up. Then remove the rubber plug on the bottom of 

the light, and plug the solar charger into the light. For more 

information about the optional Solar Charger, please contact

Mounting your Blind Sider-X2™

The Blind Sider-X2™ was built to mount like a trail camera. 

Included is a standard nylon web strap with cam buckle as  

well as two (2) 1/4” threaded brass inserts for use with  

various mounts.

  • To mount with included strap, simply thread the end opposite 

the cam buckle through the two vertical slotted brackets on 

the back of the light housing. Position the light on a tree, 

post or other stationary object with the front of the unit facing 

your feeder, bait pile, game trail, or other area you expect 

animals to approach. Your Blind Sider-X2™ will illuminate 

a rather large area so it is not necessary to precisely aim 

it as you would a trail camera. Once you have your light 

positioned correctly, wrap the bare end of the strap around 

the stationary object you are securing the light to. Thread the 

end of the strap through the cam buckle, tighten and secure 

the cam buckle by closing the latch. To remove the light, 

simply open the latch, pull the strap free from the buckle and 

remove your Blind Side–R™.

  • You can also mount your Blind Sider-X2™ to virtually any 

1/4” threaded trail camera mount. The Blind Sider-X2™ 

has brass mounting inserts on both the back and bottom 

of the housing. Carefully thread the unit clockwise onto 

your preferred camera mount and position the light facing 

the direction or location you expect game to approach. 

To remove, simply unscrew the mount by turning counter-

clockwise until the Blind Sider-X2™ is no longer connected 

to the camera mounting device.

Helpful Tip

Although much more forgiving than a trail camera, when 

mounting your Blind Sider-X2™ look for a tree or post that is 

somewhat straight. This will make aiming your light to the proper 

location much easier. The Blind Sider-X2™ comes with molded 

stabilizing spikes and naturally mounts at a downward angle. 

Keep this in mind when selecting your mounting location.
