Own the dark with the Holosun P.ID High Candela—a compact, mission-ready weapon-mounted light that delivers a staggering 42,000 candela of focused intensity for long-distance identification and positive threat control. Designed to fit both pistol rails and Picatinny platforms, the P.ID-HC packs elite throw, tight hotspot, and clean spill into a rugged, anodized black body that’s built for daily carry, patrol, and home defense.
Whether you’re clearing rooms, navigating low-light outdoors, or searching a large property line, the P.ID High Candela punches through photonic barriers (streetlights, windows, headlights) and gives you the reach to PID—positively identify—what matters before you press the trigger. Holosun’s reputation for duty-grade durability and smart ergonomics shines here: intuitive ambi switching, rock-solid rail interface, and dependable electronics tuned for real-world use.
Why the Holosun P.ID-HC Leads in Low Light
42,000 Candela Punch: A tight, high-candela beam reaches farther and defeats photonic barriers for superior target definition at distance.
Balanced Spill for Context: While the hotspot reaches out, controlled spill provides peripheral awareness indoors and in transitional lighting.
Pistol & Picatinny Ready: Out-of-the-box compatibility with pistol accessory rails and MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny on long guns—one light, multiple roles.
Duty-Grade Housing: Anodized aluminum body resists recoil, weather, and daily carry abuse; sealed for reliable performance in rain and dust.
Intuitive Ambidextrous Controls: Easy-to-reach paddles support momentary and constant-on—optimized for gloved or bare hands.
Clean, Modern Power System: Efficient driver electronics maintain consistent output, giving you the light you expect when you need it most.

Installation & Zero-Prep Tips
Verify Clear: Unload firearm and double-check chamber.
Mount: Slide onto pistol rail or Picatinny slot; tighten hardware to manufacturer torque spec.
Switch Check: Test momentary/constant modes and confirm ambi access from your firing grip.
Holster Fit: If carrying concealed or duty, confirm holster compatibility for your specific pistol + light combo.
Dry Practice: Run safe, light-on/light-off reps to ingrain activation during draws and reloads.
Battery & Maintenance
Battery Care: Use quality cells as specified by Holosun (follow manual). Replace or recharge at regular intervals.
Lens Protection: After range days, wipe the lens with a microfiber cloth; a thin film of neutral chapstick before shooting can ease carbon cleanup.
Fastener Checks: Periodically verify mount screws are secure; use non-permanent thread locker after final positioning.
Environmental: The anodized housing resists corrosion; rinse with fresh water after salt exposure.
Training Notes
Practice light discipline—use momentary for search, constant-on for control.
Combine with a high-contrast sighting system (red dot/bright irons) for fast confirmation.
Validate how your chosen ammo and muzzle device interact with the light (minimize splash and smoke bloom).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the advantage of 42,000 candela vs. just raw lumens?
A: Candela measures intensity—higher cd means the beam throws farther and fights through opposing light, delivering clearer detail at distance.
Q: Will it fit my pistol?
A: The P.ID-HC is designed for standard pistol accessory rails; most modern duty/EDC pistols with rails will fit. Always verify fit and holster compatibility.
Q: Can I use it on a rifle?
A: Yes—mounts to Picatinny rails on carbines/PCCs. Place near the muzzle for clean shadowing and easy switch access.
Q: Is it waterproof?
A: The light is built for weather resistance and duty conditions. Refer to Holosun’s IP rating for exact immersion specs.
Q: Does it support momentary activation?
A: Yes—ambidextrous paddles provide momentary and constant-on control.
