The DJI AL1 Spotlight adds steerable white-light illumination to DJI Matrice 4E and Matrice 4T drones. Its twin lamps support always-on and strobe modes for low-light search, security and inspection missions. This is a lighting accessory, not a thermal camera.
Why Choose the DJI AL1 Spotlight?
Twin-lamp illumination
Rated to a maximum power of 32 W, with always-on and strobe operating modes to suit patrol, marking and inspection tasks.
Steerable gimbal
Controllable tilt from -90° to 35° at up to 120°/s, with ±0.1° alignment accuracy for precise aiming.
Wide coverage
Up to 2,200 m² of effective illumination area at 100 m in Wide FOV Mode under laboratory reference conditions.
Light where you need it
Two lamp lenses provide an effective illumination angle of 23° at 10% relative illumination. DJI lists an effective illuminated area of 1,300 m² in Normal Mode and 2,200 m² in Wide FOV Mode at 100 m, using the measurement definitions in the specification table below.
Illuminance figures (4.3 ± 0.2 lux at 100 m and 17 ± 0.2 lux at 50 m) are laboratory measurements taken with the spotlight installed separately on the aircraft at an ambient 25°C. Real-world results vary with distance, atmosphere and surface.
Built for repeated field use
The AL1 attaches with quick-release, hand-tightened screws, so it can be fitted and removed without tools. Heat-sink fins on the lamp housings help manage thermal load during extended runs.
The gimbal has a physical structural design range of -140° to 50° in tilt. Note this is the mechanical range of the structure and not the controllable range, which is -90° to 35°.
Operations after dark
Mounted on a Matrice 4 Series aircraft, the AL1 helps teams keep eyes on the scene during low-light missions. Typical applications include search and rescue, security and public-safety support, and night-time inspection of infrastructure.
Suitability for any specific mission depends on your own operational planning and applicable local regulations and approvals.

Compatibility guidance
The DJI AL1 Spotlight is intended for the DJI Matrice 4E and DJI Matrice 4T. For other platforms, confirm the exact accessory with GoUAV before ordering, as closely named aircraft use different lighting accessories and the AL1 has not been validated against them.
- Verified for the Matrice 4E and Matrice 4T.
- Visible-light illumination only; this is not a thermal payload.
- Fits via quick-release, hand-tightened screws for fast install and removal.
- For any aircraft outside the listed models, contact GoUAV to confirm the correct accessory.
Frequently asked questions
Which aircraft does the AL1 Spotlight support?
It is intended for the DJI Matrice 4E and Matrice 4T. For any other platform, ask GoUAV to confirm the exact compatible accessory before ordering.
Is the AL1 a thermal camera?
No. The AL1 provides visible white-light illumination only. It does not perform thermal imaging.
What illumination modes are available?
Two modes: always-on and strobe. Normal Mode and Wide FOV Mode describe the beam coverage options at 100 m.
How far does the gimbal tilt?
The controllable tilt range is -90° to 35° at up to 120°/s, with ±0.1° alignment accuracy. The wider -140° to 50° figure is the physical structural range, not a controllable range.
How does it mount?
It attaches with quick-release, hand-tightened screws, so it can be fitted and removed without tools.
