Description
This compact rifle light delivers 1000 lumens and 80,000 candela with dual activation options, complete mounting solutions, and USB-C rechargeable power.
Whether you’re identifying targets at 200 yards or navigating low-light environments, the Holosun RAID gives you instant access to powerful, focused illumination without adding bulk to your rifle. The complete out-of-the-box package includes both mounting systems and dual activation controls, so you can install and configure it for your specific shooting style in minutes. The USB-C rechargeable battery eliminates the ongoing cost of disposable batteries while ensuring you’re always ready when it matters most.
Key Features
- Focused High-Intensity Beam: 1000 lumens and 80,000 candela create a concentrated beam pattern that effectively illuminates targets up to 200 yards while penetrating environmental barriers like fog and ambient light pollution
- Dual Activation System: Integrated tailcap button and included compact Crane port pressure switch provide flexibility for different shooting positions and grip styles
- Complete Mounting Solution: Includes both Picatinny and M-LOK mounts for direct attachment to modern handguards without additional adapters or modifications
- Military-Grade Construction: Precision-machined 7075 T6 aluminum housing with hard-coat anodizing withstands 1000g of recoil shock and meets IP68 waterproof standards for submersion resistance
Important Compatibility Notes
- Beam Pattern Consideration: The RAID produces a tight, focused beam optimized for mid-range target identification. This beam pattern excels for scoped rifle applications at distance but provides minimal peripheral spill compared to lights designed for close-quarters use.
Why We Carry It
The Holosun RAID fills a specific gap in the weapon light market between budget options and premium lights. The compact 3.2-inch length keeps the profile slim under most handguards, while the 80,000 candela output significantly exceeds the candela ratings of similarly priced competitors. Holosun designed the RAID with programmable features, including lockout mode (activated by triple-pressing the button) and high/low brightness settings that can be toggled with a double-press, with the light remembering your last brightness selection when reactivated. The included 3500mAh 18650 battery charges via a magnetic USB-C cable, eliminating the need for separate charging devices.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the effective range for target identification with the RAID?
Field testing demonstrates reliable target illumination up to approximately 200 yards. The 80,000 candela rating creates a focused beam that maintains intensity at distance, making it well-suited for scoped rifle applications where you need to identify specific targets rather than broadly illuminating an area.
How do I activate the lockout mode to prevent accidental activation?
Triple-press the activation button to engage lockout mode, which completely disables the light. Repeat the triple-press sequence to unlock. This feature is particularly useful during transport or storage to prevent battery drain from accidental activation. The lockout function works with both the tailcap button and the remote pressure switch.
Can I use the RAID on rifles with significant recoil?
Yes. The 7075 T6 aluminum construction and 1000g shock rating make the RAID suitable for rifles with substantial recoil. The housing and mounting system are designed to maintain zero and functionality even under repeated high-recoil use. The IP68 waterproof rating also ensures the internal components remain sealed and protected during heavy use.
