Yes. The problem isn't neccessarily legality but is actually functionality. The Wilcox Raptor ES Lite uses an adjustable illum that is a laser BUT per a certain guy that is here on ARF and a few other forums that has one told me that it quite frankly sucked on that optic. So I'm really curious to see what Steiner/LDI has done. I'm personally still optimistic because these guys have been putting out Class 1 IR lasers for quite some time now and despite some hate the brand gets sometimes because of a few failures is gtg. I have an ITAL and it works great. Granted I have babied it but it is going 2 years strong. Oh...just don't leave your batteries in Steiner/LDI laser and expect it to actually turn on down the road. They do drain the batteries but such is life.

So the illuminator's can be focused on these and still remain civilian legal?

I've been comparing the IR illuminator divergence, DBAL-A3: ~95-195 mrad, ATPIAL-C: 105 mrad, AN/PEQ-15: 1-105 mrad. So the DBAL-A3 has a slightly smaller focus than the ATPIAL-C. (While the ATPIAL-C is a badass laser unit, not super impressed with the illuminator)
I'd like to see a comparison between the ATPIAL-C and the DBAL-A3.
