DBAL D2 Class 1 IR laser - a Texas Evaluation

[SC-Texas]

I had the opportunity to evaluate the performance of the new, pre-production LDI DBAL D2 Civilian Legal Class 1 IR laser. LDI sent it to me for a NV Shoot that was rained out last week.

I took it to the Impact Zone and observed it on the 100 yard and 200 yard known distance ranges and around the property. The DBAL D2 has a LED illuminator in addition to its Class 1 aiming laser. This illuminator is the equal of the onboard illuminators that the PEQ-2a and PEQ-15 (both the insight and DBAL I2 units) have built into the units. The illuminator can be focused in to a narrow IR beam for illuminating targets at 200-300 yards (this was the limit of the range) and focused out to a flood to illuminate a wide area without blooming your PVS-14.

The eyesafe aiming laser is easily and clearly visible at 200 yards on most any surface. This equals the usable range of the PEQ-2 and 15. While the DBAL D2 doesn't have the high output laser function of the PEQ-2a and the PEQ-15s, this function is not something that is overly useful in the civilian, hog hunting world.

The DBAL D2 is perfect for most civilian, LEO and military uses. The aiming laser is powerful enough to be usefull out to 200 yards and the illuminator is powerful enough to light the darkest corners and illuminate the area under the tree canopy as you are moving around the lease at night looking for pigs

I'll post the next video when I get it put together.

Crap, I just felt my bank accout drain. I need one of these, what a great product for civilian and LEO who want to own a personal device. This really looks like it has alot of performance and more than enough capability for standard civilian and LEO operations.

Thanks guys.

Really well done video! What is the battery life?

[SC-Texas]

We don;t want to talk about battery life since the 1 CR123 battery is powering both the laser and the IR LED . . . lol

Its around an hour I think.

I might leave it on and test that theory.

I love to hear the results of the batt drain test.

Thanks for the video! This was some super footage that made me appreciate the DB2 a lot more.

Thanks.

Any test on the battery yet? Any more opinions on the overall performance on the dbal2 and it's strengths and weakness?

^^^ Also want to know this answer. I cant decide if I want this over the Dbal I2
