The DJI AL2 Spotlight mounts under the DJI Matrice 5T and puts light on a subject at range. It is an optional payload for the handheld Matrice 5T only: it does not fit the docked Matrice 5TD, and it does not fit Matrice 4. See the Matrice 5T category for the aircraft and the matching speaker.
In DJI’s laboratory test at 25°C, with the spotlight mounted on its own, spotlight mode reaches 10.0 ± 0.5 lux at the centre from 100 m, and flood mode about 2.5 ± 0.3 lux over a wider area. Effective illumination angles at 10% relative illuminance are 14.5° in spotlight and 24.5° in flood; at 100 m that is about 500 m² and 1,500 m² respectively. The lamp can follow the camera’s tilt from −90° to 90°, which is useful for work under a bridge or structure. The mechanical gimbal tilt range is −170° to 120°.
Lighting mode has Flood, Spotlight and All. Strobe mode has Slow Flash, Fast Flash and Alternating. It is rated IP55, draws up to 60 W, weighs 175 g, and measures 200 × 78 × 58 mm unfolded or 104 × 82 × 58 mm folded. Operating temperature is −20°C to 50°C.
It can be flown on its own or with the DJI AS2 Speaker. If both are fitted, install the spotlight first, then the speaker. When the light is on, some vision obstacle sensing is reduced, so fly with care and expect a shorter flight. Do not point it at people’s eyes.
