Atibal Illumination Introduces Ai-1 Light Head with 200,000 Candela

While the soon-to-launch Atibal Illumination Ai-1 Light Head offers just over 300 Lumens, it’s certainly no slouch, putting out a massive 200,000 Candela! In fact, to purchase the light, product it requires the submission of Atibal Illumination’s Class 3B Laser Product Liability Waiver.

Why 200,000 Candela? The new Atibal Illumination Ai-1 Light Head was designed for precision illumination. In comparison, our curently preferred weapon lights max out at just over 60,0000 Candela. Like those lights, The Atibal Illumination Ai-1 replacement light head is compatible with 18650 and 18350 light bodies that currently exist on the market. With those batteries, it is capable of providing a throwing distance of 2,900ft.

While every AR that may be used in a defensive setting should have a light on it, please keep in mind that the Atibal Illumination Ai-1 Light Head seems to be a specialty-offering designed for very specific use. You’ll certainly want to research those uses before plunking down 300 dollars to order. For most, those funds would be put to better use on a light from Cloud Defensive, Modlite, Arisaka, or Streamlight. As with any potentially piece of life-saving equipment, do your research on what works for you and your unique situation.
