Holosun P.ID HC Weapon Light 800 Lumens 42,000 Candela High Candela – P.ID-HC

The Holosun P.ID HC Weapon Light (P.ID-HC) is a rail-mounted pistol weapon light producing 800 lumens output and 42,000 candela peak beam intensity on high, with a 400 lumens and 21,000 candela low mode, from a rechargeable 18350 cell on a MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny mount.

HC stands for high candela, and that is the whole design brief. At 42,000 candela this is a markedly tighter, harder-reaching beam than the standard P.ID despite putting out fewer lumens — the light is concentrated into the hotspot rather than spread across the near field. That is what you want when you need to identify something at the far end of a dark yard or a long barn, and less what you want in a confined space. Magnetic USB charging keeps the 18350 in the light, and the 7075-T6 aluminium body is rated IP68 at roughly 3.2 in (81 mm) and 5 oz (142 g).

How It Compares

For a more balanced flood-and-throw beam, the P.ID weapon light gives 1000 lumens at 23,000 candela. For a smaller light on a compact frame, see the P.ID-K compact weapon light. To add an aiming laser, the P.ID Plus with a green laser and the P.ID Dual with green and IR lasers use the same body. On a rifle, the RAID high-throw weapon light pushes to 80,000 candela.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does 42,000 candela mean on the Holosun P.ID HC?
Candela measures the intensity of the beam's hotspot, which is what sets how far the light reaches. At 42,000 candela the Holosun P.ID HC Weapon Light has a tightly focused beam with long reach for identifying targets at distance, which is high for a pistol-sized light.

How bright is the Holosun P.ID HC?
The Holosun P.ID HC produces 800 lumens output on high and 400 lumens output on low, with peak beam intensity of 42,000 candela on high and 21,000 candela on low.

What is the difference between the Holosun P.ID HC and the standard P.ID?
The Holosun P.ID HC concentrates its output into a tighter, longer-reaching beam at 42,000 candela from 800 lumens. The standard P.ID produces more total light, 1000 lumens, at a lower 23,000 candela, giving a broader beam with more close-range spill.

What rail does the Holosun P.ID HC fit?
The Holosun P.ID HC mounts to standard MIL-STD 1913 Picatinny accessory rails, as fitted to full-size and many compact handguns.

How is the Holosun P.ID HC charged?
The Holosun P.ID HC uses a rechargeable 18350 cell charged through a magnetic USB connector on the light, so the battery stays in place while charging.

Is the Holosun P.ID HC waterproof?
Yes. The Holosun P.ID HC is rated IP68 in a 7075-T6 aluminium body, covering dust ingress and immersion in water.
