Alongside the light itself, you\u2019ll find a single-button Crane port pressure switch, M-LOK and Picatinny mounts, a USB-C rechargeable 18650 battery, an Allen wrench, and a cleaning cloth. This setup ensures you can mount the RAID to most rifles right away, whether your setup uses M-LOK or Picatinny rails.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7753-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Unboxing the Holosun RAID flashlight\" class=\"wp-image-211545\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7753-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7753-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7753-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7753-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7753.jpg 1465w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">All included accessories that come with the Holosun RAID<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The inclusion of both mounting systems is particularly convenient.

The body is IP68-rated, claiming top-tier dust and water resistance. Aiming to see if the RAID lived up to this claim, I tested this by submerging the light and its pressure pad in frozen water for 30 minutes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only did the light remain powered on the entire time, but there was also no water ingress into the battery compartment when I opened it. I also didn&#8217;t notice any degraded performance and the light seemed to shine just as bright as it did right before I put it in the water. This durability builds confidence in its ability to handle harsh environments, whether you\u2019re trekking through mud, snow, or rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7789-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"weapon light submersed in cold water\" class=\"wp-image-211547\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7789-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7789-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7789-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7789-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7789.jpg 1351w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The RAID was submersed in freezing water while set on high for over 30 minutes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Measuring just 3.20 inches in length, the RAID is relatively compact and lightweight, ensuring it won\u2019t add unnecessary bulk to your rifle. Its 1,000-lumen output is paired with an impressive 80,000 candela, creating a tight beam pattern that excels at illuminating targets out to approximately 200 yards. However, the spill is minimal, meaning objects outside the central beam receive little light compared to similar weapon lights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this makes the RAID an excellent option for <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/goyojo-grl-335-thermal-rifle-scope-review-a-true-budget-friendly-thermal\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"holosun-raid-weapon-light-review\" title=\"Holosun RAID Weapon Light Review\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"518\">scoped rifles<\/a> used at longer distances, it\u2019s less ideal for close-quarters scenarios where wider illumination might be preferred. The picture below compares the RAID to two&nbsp;other&nbsp;popular weapon lights to see how they stack up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7762-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"3 different weapon-mounted-lights \" class=\"wp-image-211548\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7762-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7762-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7762-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7762-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7762.jpg 1292w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Comparing the beam patterns of the Holosun RAID, Modulate OKW, and Streamlight ProTac HL-X.

Both options are intuitive&nbsp;to use, though I noticed a slight delay when releasing the button. Activation is immediate when pressing the button, but the light takes about 1\/4 of a second to turn off upon release. While not a dealbreaker, this delay is frustrating compared to other lights with instantaneous response times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7802-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Holosun RAID buttons on green rifle\" class=\"wp-image-211549\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7802-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7802-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7802-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7802-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7802.jpg 1311w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">To activate the light, you can use either the included pressure pad, or the button on the tail cap of the RAID<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>One standout feature is the lockout mode, which prevents accidental activation. Triple-pressing the button disables the light, and repeating the sequence reactivates it. This is especially useful for situations where you want to&nbsp;prevent&nbsp;an&nbsp;accidental&nbsp;light discharge. Additionally, the RAID has both high and low brightness settings,&nbsp;easily&nbsp;toggled with a double button press. The 500-lumen low mode is a great way to extend battery life when full output isn\u2019t necessary. Also, the RAID remembers your last brightness setting and returns to it when turned back on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7801-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Holosun RAID mounted to rifle in front of snow-covered logs\" class=\"wp-image-211550\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7801-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7801-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7801-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7801-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/IMG_7801.jpg 1413w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Brightness and lockout modes are programmable on the fly utilizing the pressure pad<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-raid-battery\">RAID Battery<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The RAID\u2019s power source is versatile.&nbsp;Capable of using&nbsp;a single 18650 battery\u2014included&nbsp;in the box and rechargeable via a USB-C magnetic charging cable\u2014or&nbsp;two CR123A batteries for added flexibility.&nbsp;The rechargeable 18650 battery offers a modern and convenient approach, eliminating the need for standalone chargers while reducing long-term costs associated with disposable batteries.
