Steiner DBAL-D2 Red/IR Dual Beam Aiming Laser Sight with IR LED Illuminator (Black)

The Steiner Optics DBAL-D2 is a premium tactical laser sight combining a 532nm red aiming laser, 850nm eye-safe IR laser, and 850nm IR illuminator for day/night precision. Co-aligned lasers allow simultaneous zeroing, with red visible up to 820 yards at night and IR laser detectable via NVDs up to 275 yards. The adjustable IR illuminator switches from a 2° spot to 30° flood beam, ideal for target designation or area lighting (1100-yard range with NVDs). Constructed from rugged 6061-T6 aluminum with MIL-STD hard anodizing, it withstands -40 to 149°F temperatures and submersion to 16 feet. Rear-facing controls (selector dial, pressure pad switch) enable one-handed operation, while dual-tap activation offers momentary or 5-minute continuous use. Powered by a CR123A battery (3-hour runtime), this 12.5oz sight mounts directly to Picatinny rails, perfect for tactical rifles, varmint hunting, and NVG-compatible operations.

Key Features

• 532nm Red Aiming Laser
• 850nm Eye-Safe IR Laser
• 850nm IR LED Illuminator
• High and Low Output Modes

Steiner Optics's DBAL-D2 RED/IR Aiming Laser Sight is a durable yet compact tactical and covert operations aiming device that combines an easy-to discern red visible and infrared aiming lasers with a powerful IR illuminator. Its 850nm infrared laser is visible with NVDs up to 273 yards away, and the red has a max range of 16' during the day or 273 yards at night. The human eye is able to see red easily and at further distances than the commonly-used red, and is virtually invisible to most species of game, making it ideal for varmint hunting. The two lasers are co-aligned to allow the operator to zero or correct the impact point of both lasers simultaneously using the shrouded windage/elevation dials. Its illuminator beam is adjustable from a tight 2° spot for target designation, or it can be opened up to 30° to flood a large area.
A rear-facing pushbutton activation switch is easy to find, even in the dark, and the included remote pressure pad switch increases the usability and operator safety by allowing them to control the DBAL-D2 while remaining in the firing position. The rotary selector switch, also rear-facing, enables the operator to quickly choose the output - red visible, IR laser, IR illuminator - and intensity to suit the targeting task. The laser system runs on a single CR123A battery with a max runtime of about 3 hours. A quick-release Picatinny rail mount is integrated into the overall design to help reduce the form-factor to make this sight ideal for use on with virtually any rifle platform. The housing is made of the strong and lightweight 6061-T6 aluminum alloy with a black corrosion and scratch-resistant MIL-STD hard-anodized finish.
