Overview
About this product.
The AL1 is a compact spotlight for the Matrice 4 and Matrice 4D Series. It puts 4.3 lux on a target at 100 m and 17 lux at 50 m, covering 1,300 m² at 100 m in normal mode. Wide field-of-view mode trades intensity for area and covers 2,200 m² at the same height.
It runs always-on or strobe, and can be set to follow the gimbal so the light tracks where the camera is pointed. At 91 g excluding the bracket it costs very little payload capacity, and it operates from -20°C to 50°C. Fitted to a Matrice 4D Series aircraft it is rated IP55.

Questions
Questions we’re asked.
The spotlight
What can the AL1 do?
Constant and strobe modes, gimbal follow that can be switched off, and a wide-FOV mode that widens the beam with the wide camera at 1× zoom. It works alone or with the AS1 speaker stacked on top.
Which aircraft does it fit, and how?
The Matrice 4D Series and the Matrice 4 Series. Remove the bottom bracket, fit it before power-on, tighten the screws, re-tighten with the hex key on a dock, then activate online.
What changes in flight?
Upward obstacle avoidance is disabled once it is fitted, and avoidance switches off while the light is on; flight time drops; the housing gets hot. Never point it at eyes. Enable electronic defogging at altitude, and lower the brightness to save flight time.
