One of the most useful electronic tools on a warfighters rifle is a laser aiming device. This device embodies the evolution of battlefield tech. Today, Colt Optics has released its offering in this category. The LP5X-P Laser Aiming Device.
LP5X-P Laser Aiming Device – Multi-Use Device
Modern weapon systems continue to demand more capability from every accessory mounted to the rail. Professional users need visible and infrared aiming capability, effective illumination, and reliable performance. However, they also need to minimize weight, preserve rail space, and avoid unnecessary complexity. The LP5X-P was developed around a simple objective: deliver maximum capability in the smallest package possible.

Offered by Colt Optics in partnership with Brolis Defense, the LP5X-P is based on a proven laser platform fielded by NATO and allied defense organizations. Colt Optics partnered with Brolis Defense to bring this proven capability to U.S. professional customers. As a result, it delivers advanced aiming and illumination performance in a remarkably compact, lightweight package.
Solving Real World Problems
“At Colt Optics, we focus on products that solve real-world problems for professional users,” said Dennis Finnegan, Chief Operating Officer of Colt Optics. “The LP5X-P delivers an exceptional amount of capability without adding unnecessary size, weight, or complexity to the weapon system. Through our partnership with Brolis Defense, we are able to bring a proven solution to U.S. customers who demand performance, reliability, and versatility.”

LP5X-P High-Power Laser Aiming Device
Measuring just 3.7 inches in length and weighing only 5.9 ounces, the LP5X-P was engineered to require minimum rail mounting space. It also reduces overall weapon system weight without sacrificing capability.
At the heart of the LP5X-P are four independent emitters: a green visible aiming laser, an infrared aiming laser, a focusable infrared illuminator, and a speckle-free VCSEL infrared flood illuminator. Together, these systems provide users with the flexibility to adapt to a wide range of operational environments and lighting conditions.

The LP5X-P’s illumination system was designed to simplify field operations. As the illuminator is adjusted from a focused beam to a wider pattern, the system automatically transitions to the VCSEL flood illuminator at its widest setting. This provides broad, speckle-free illumination optimized for close-range observation and situational awareness. Conversely, as the illuminator is narrowed, the system automatically returns to the focusable infrared illuminator. This ensures the appropriate illumination solution is always available when needed.
Multiple Modes
The LP5X-P also features Training, Low, and High output modes, allowing users to tailor system performance to a variety of training and operational requirements. One of the system’s most valuable features is its fully co-aligned laser architecture. Once the aiming laser is zeroed, all laser and illumination systems remain aligned. Thus, there is no need to independently zero multiple emitters and this simplifies end-user setup.

An integrated flip-up front sight is incorporated directly into the housing. This provides additional capability without increasing overall system size or complexity. Built around a rugged glass fiber-reinforced polymer housing, the LP5X-P is engineered to withstand demanding real-world environments. At the same time, it maintains an exceptionally lightweight profile. It is waterproof, shock-resistant, and designed to operate reliably over a temperature range of -32°F to 159°F.
Exceptional Capability
The result is a laser-aiming and illumination device that delivers exceptional capabilities, intelligent illumination management, and professional-grade performance in an incredibly compact package.
As a true high-power laser system, the LP5X-P is available through authorized channels in accordance with applicable regulations.
