The EOLAD series represents a joint venture between Laser Devices and L-3. By combining the extreme durability and performance of Steiner’ innovative aiming lasers with the speed and accuracy of the L-3 EOTech 552 HWS Optic, a single, multi-functional unit is achieved. The laser module is LDI’s new Class1 IR Laser. Class 1 IR lasers feature a 0.7mW rating which is eye safe and not restricted by the FDA. While this is a lower output than the standard 5mW+ IR lasers used by fighters and LE Professionals, it is perfectly adequate for targeting at ranges out to 450yards. This encompasses most ranges at which users will engage targets.
The IR pointer is low powered to make it eye-safe, but will perform well out to 450 yards. The pointer is easy to spot and has a good divergence/shape. The IR pointer works well with a separate LED IR Illuminator at distances, but will become a bit harder to see at close range due to the splash back from the illuminator on walls. This is especially true with light-colored walls. However, it is still easily visible for targeting. The IR pointer is more easily seen in darker conditions. Just like visible pointers, the Class1 laser will tend to wash out the closer it gets to another light source.
The laser module is mounted to the side of the EOTech 552’s aluminum hood, giving the operator the ability to deploy in many scenarios. This is a great combination for users with standard handguards installed on their system.
