DJI AL1 Spotlight

The DJI AL1 Spotlight is the dedicated mounted illumination payload for the DJI Matrice 4 Series — Matrice 4T, Matrice 4TD, and Matrice 4E. Powered directly through the aircraft, controlled through DJI Pilot 2, built for SAR night operations, wildlife recovery, public safety overwatch, and after-dark inspection work.

Ordering note on standalone accessory purchases: Customers purchasing the AL1 alongside an M4 series aircraft order receive the spotlight shipped together with the drone. Customers purchasing the AL1 standalone (without an aircraft order) are placed on a backorder queue with no firm estimated delivery date. If you need the AL1 on a guaranteed timeline and don't have an active drone order with us, call us at (863) 224-6923 before ordering so we can confirm availability.

What the AL1 Does

The AL1 mounts to the top E-Port of the Matrice 4 series and provides high-output LED illumination for night operations. Unlike a separately-gimbaled spotlight, the AL1 follows aircraft orientation — pilots aim it by positioning the drone. This is the same workflow used on the M30T's CZI spotlights, and operators familiar with M30T-class platforms transition without retraining.

Power comes from the aircraft. No separate battery to charge, no swap cycle to manage, no extra weight or balance issues. The spotlight is on when you turn it on through DJI Pilot 2 and off when you turn it off.

What It's Built For

• Search and rescue night operations illuminating subjects after thermal locates them
• Wildlife recovery for ground approach after thermal detection of downed animals
• Law enforcement overwatch illuminating subjects during foot pursuits, perimeter containment, and aerial scene support
• Public safety incident response providing scene illumination in low-light or no-light conditions
• Infrastructure inspection after dark when scheduled outages or operational requirements limit daytime access
• Maritime and waterway operations for night search, patrol, and emergency response

Compatibility Reference

If you're running an M30T or older platform, this is not the right spotlight. Call us at (863) 224-6923 if you need help selecting the correct illumination payload for your aircraft.
