Description

Steiner DBAL-D2 — Dual Beam Aiming Laser with LED IR Illuminator (Model 9001)

The Steiner DBAL-D2 (Model 9001) is the civilian-available Dual Beam Aiming Laser built around a high-output aspherical LED IR illuminator. Where the DBAL-A3 uses a laser-based illuminator, the D2 uses an LED illuminator with a 2°–30° adjustable beam — eye-safe, effective beyond 1000m, and significantly larger in flood coverage at close range. Aircraft aluminum, MIL-SPEC Type III hardcoat anodize. ITAR controlled.

Key Features

High-output LED IR illuminator — 2°–30° adjustable

The D2’s defining feature. High-definition aspherical telescopic lens technology produces a highly collimated beam adjustable from a tight 2° spot for long-range target designation to a wide 30° flood for close-quarters area illumination. Eye-safe. Effective range beyond 1000m. This is a meaningfully different illuminator than the laser-based illuminator on the A3 — wider coverage at close range, longer range in flood mode.

Green visible laser — Class 3R

<5mW green visible laser. Co-aligned with the IR laser — zero visible in daylight and IR is automatically zeroed to the same point of impact.

Eye-safe IR laser pointer — Class 1

<0.7mW IR laser pointer. Eye-safe. Range <2500m with night vision.

Co-aligned visible and IR aiming lasers

Zero one, zero both. Sight in the visible laser during the day — the IR laser is on the same point of impact.

Activation / mode selector switch

Tap and release for momentary activation. Double-tap for 5 minutes continuous. Integrated push button plus included remote cable pressure pad switch.

Aircraft aluminum housing

MIL-SPEC Type III hardcoat anodized 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum. Submersible to 5m.

QD HT Mount included

Patented self-adjusting quick-release Picatinny mount. Attaches to any MIL-SPEC 1913 rail.

About the Steiner DBAL-D2

The Steiner DBAL D2 is the civilian-legal version of the dual beam aiming laser used by U.S. military and law enforcement units. The DBAL-D2 features a visible red or green laser paired with an infrared (IR) laser, plus an adjustable IR illuminator that lets the operator flood an area with invisible IR light visible only through night vision devices. This combination gives the shooter both daytime and nighttime aiming capability in a single unit.

Key DBAL-D2 features include high and low power output modes (selectable to comply with civilian power restrictions), an activation switch on the rear of the unit for momentary or constant-on operation, and remote cable ports that accept a tape switch for weapon-mounted use without taking the firing hand off the grip. The housing is mil-spec aluminum with hard-anodized finish and mounts to any standard Picatinny rail.

The Steiner DBAL is available in multiple configurations — visible green laser, visible red laser, and class 1 / class 3R variants — to match the user’s specific role and legal jurisdiction. Call (888) 330-7057 for help selecting the right configuration for your application.

Common Questions

How does the DBAL-D2 differ from the DBAL-A3?
The key difference is the illuminator. The D2 uses an LED IR illuminator with a 2°–30° adjustable beam — eye-safe, highly collimated, >1000m effective range. The A3 uses a laser-based illuminator, which is more covert but has a narrower beam and shorter range. The D2 is larger and heavier than the A3 but provides significantly greater flood illumination for area coverage.

Is credentials verification required?
No — the DBAL-D2 9001 is the civilian model and is available without restricted credentials. It is ITAR controlled and can only be sold to U.S. persons.

How fast does it ship?
Most orders ship within 1–2 business days.
