Powerful Aerial Lighting for Night Operations
The DJI AL2 SpotLight helps operators illuminate areas that would otherwise be difficult to see after dark.
Its high-output lighting system provides a maximum central illuminance of 10 lux at 100 metres in Spot mode. As a result, the Matrice 5T can capture more useful visible-light images during night operations.
Furthermore, the spotlight allows operators to adjust the lighting pattern according to their needs.
For example, a search and rescue team may use a focused beam to examine a specific location. Alternatively, a wide flood beam can illuminate a larger area during an emergency response.
Therefore, the DJI AL2 SpotLight offers greater flexibility than a fixed-beam lighting system.
Spot, Flood and Combined Lighting Modes
The DJI AL2 SpotLight offers three lighting options within its standard Lighting mode.
Each option provides different illumination characteristics, allowing operators to select the most suitable setting.
Spot Mode – Focused Long-Distance Illumination
Spot mode produces a concentrated beam for viewing specific objects or locations.
At a distance of 100 metres, it delivers approximately 10 lux of central illumination. In addition, the beam covers an effective area of approximately 500 square metres.
The narrower 14.5° lighting angle directs more light towards a selected target.
For example, operators can illuminate bridge components, building structures or remote areas during detailed inspections.
As a result, Spot mode is well suited to tasks requiring focused lighting at a distance.
Flood Mode – Wide-Area Illumination
Flood mode provides a broader beam to illuminate larger areas.
At 100 metres, it offers approximately 2.5 lux of central illumination across an effective area of up to 1,500 square metres.
Furthermore, the wider 24.5° lighting angle helps operators view more of the surrounding environment.
This makes Flood mode useful for search and rescue, emergency scene assessment and general area lighting.
For example, an operator can illuminate a broad section of ground while searching for people or inspecting a worksite.
Combined Lighting Mode – Spot and Flood Together
The AL2 SpotLight also includes an All mode that activates both lighting systems.
This combines the focused Spot beam with the wider Flood beam.
As a result, operators can illuminate a central target while also lighting the surrounding area.
This mode is particularly useful when additional scene detail and wider visibility are required at the same time.
However, using higher lighting output can increase power consumption and reduce aircraft flight endurance.
Strobe Lighting for Visual Signalling
In addition to continuous lighting, the DJI AL2 SpotLight provides several strobe functions.
These modes allow operators to create flashing light patterns for authorised visual signalling.
Available Strobe Modes
- Slow Flash: Provides a slower, repeated lighting pattern.
- Fast Flash: Produces a faster flashing pattern for increased visual noticeability.
- Alternating: Uses alternating light patterns for additional signalling options.
For example, emergency response teams may use strobe lighting to help identify an aircraft’s location during an operation.
Furthermore, the lighting functions can be assigned to custom buttons on the DJI remote controller.
This allows operators to activate frequently used modes more quickly.
The AL2 SpotLight is an auxiliary lighting accessory. It does not replace approved aircraft navigation, anti-collision or other lighting required under CASA regulations.
Intelligent Gimbal Tracking
The DJI AL2 SpotLight includes a Follow Gimbal Orientation function.
When enabled, the spotlight automatically adjusts its tilt to follow the aircraft camera’s viewing direction.
As a result, the illuminated area remains aligned with the operator’s camera view.
For example, when inspecting the underside of a bridge, an operator can adjust the camera angle while the spotlight follows the movement.
Furthermore, this function reduces the need to control the spotlight and camera separately.
The spotlight supports a controllable tilt range from -90° to +90°, providing flexibility when viewing objects above or below the aircraft.
Operators can also disable gimbal following when they want the spotlight to maintain a fixed direction.
Therefore, the AL2 SpotLight supports both automatic and manual lighting control for different inspection tasks.
DJI Pilot 2 Integration and Remote Control
The DJI AL2 SpotLight integrates with the Matrice 5T through DJI Pilot 2.
Once installed and activated, operators can control lighting modes and supported functions through the remote controller.
In addition, selected spotlight controls can be assigned to custom buttons for faster access.
For example, operators can set shortcuts to switch the light on or off or activate strobe mode.
As a result, changing lighting settings becomes easier during demanding operations.
Furthermore, the spotlight receives supported firmware updates through the aircraft’s normal update process.
IP55 Weather Protection
The DJI AL2 SpotLight features an IP55-rated housing designed for professional outdoor use.
This provides resistance against dust and water jets under specified test conditions.
In addition, the spotlight supports an operating temperature range from -20°C to 50°C.
Consequently, it is suitable for a variety of Australian operating environments, including remote industrial sites and outdoor emergency response operations.
However, IP55 protection does not make the spotlight waterproof. Operators must always follow DJI’s operating instructions and environmental limits.
Lightweight Design and Easy Installation
Weighing just 175 g, the DJI AL2 SpotLight offers powerful lighting in a compact design.
Its folding structure also makes the accessory easier to transport and store.
The spotlight mounts beneath the DJI Matrice 5T using the aircraft’s dedicated mounting and connection system.
Once installed, the spotlight can remain attached when the aircraft is stored in its compatible carrying case.
Furthermore, the AL2 SpotLight can be installed alongside the DJI AS2 Speaker for combined lighting and aerial communication.
When using both accessories, DJI specifies that the AL2 SpotLight must be installed first, followed by the AS2 Speaker.
As a result, operators can create a more versatile Matrice 5T system for demanding professional applications.
DJI AL2 SpotLight Professional Applications
Search and Rescue Operations
The DJI AL2 SpotLight provides valuable support for search and rescue missions after dark.
For example, operators can use Flood mode to illuminate a large area while searching for missing persons.
Once a possible target is located, Spot mode can provide more focused lighting.
Furthermore, gimbal tracking allows the spotlight to follow the camera as the operator examines the scene.
Consequently, search teams gain an additional tool for viewing difficult terrain during low-light operations.
Emergency Services and Incident Response
Emergency response teams often need to assess incidents in areas with limited lighting.
The AL2 SpotLight allows operators to illuminate selected locations from the air.
For example, emergency crews can use the spotlight to assess access routes, inspect structures or provide temporary lighting during an incident.
In addition, the different lighting modes allow crews to switch between broad scene lighting and focused illumination.
Bridge and Infrastructure Inspections
The DJI AL2 SpotLight is particularly useful when inspecting structures with limited natural light.
For example, bridges, industrial equipment and enclosed infrastructure areas may require additional lighting.
With its adjustable tilt and gimbal tracking, the spotlight can illuminate areas above or below the aircraft.
Furthermore, operators can use Spot mode to examine selected components from a suitable distance.
As a result, the AL2 SpotLight supports more flexible inspection workflows in dark environments.
Mining and Industrial Operations
Remote mining and industrial sites often operate around the clock.
The DJI AL2 SpotLight can assist with inspections of equipment and infrastructure when natural lighting is limited.
For example, operators may use the spotlight to examine machinery, buildings and other assets during authorised night operations.
In addition, the aircraft-mounted light provides flexibility when fixed lighting is unavailable.
Consequently, teams can gather additional visual information without relying entirely on ground-based lighting equipment.
Security and Asset Monitoring
The AL2 SpotLight can also support authorised security and asset monitoring operations.
For example, operators can illuminate selected areas during a night-time inspection of a facility.
Furthermore, the spotlight can work alongside the Matrice 5T’s thermal and optical cameras.
This combination allows operators to locate areas of interest using thermal imaging and then gather visible-light detail where appropriate.
Public Safety Operations
The DJI AL2 SpotLight provides flexible aerial lighting for authorised public safety teams.
Its focused beam, wide-area flood lighting and strobe functions support several operational needs.
In addition, compatibility with the DJI AS2 Speaker allows operators to combine lighting with aerial voice broadcasting.
Therefore, the Matrice 5T can provide both visual and audio support during suitable public safety missions.
