Zenmuse S1: Professional Long-Range 500m Aerial Spotlight

The Zenmuse S1 is DJI's first dedicated spotlight designed for flagship enterprise platforms, including the Matrice 400 and Matrice 350 RTK. Featuring Laser Excited Phosphor technology, it delivers a high-intensity beam with a maximum central illuminance of 40 lux at 100 meters (328 ft). This lightweight 0.76 kg (1.68 lbs) payload is an essential tool for public safety, emergency rescue, and industrial inspection teams. With intelligent gimbal synchronization and an IP54-rated build, the S1 offers reliable, long-distance illumination up to 500 meters (1,640 ft) for even the most demanding nighttime operational scenarios.

Zenmuse S1 overview

  • LEP technology: High-performance laser phosphor source for enhanced nighttime penetration.
  • 500m reach: Maximum effective illumination distance for long-range target identification.
  • 40 lux brightness: Exceptional central illuminance for clear viewing of dark subjects.
  • Low power draw: Only 24 W consumption in high beam lighting mode.
  • Strobe mode: High-frequency flashing capability for emergency signaling and alerting.
  • Smart synchronization: Real-time optical center alignment with primary camera payloads.
  • Ruggedized housing: IP54 dust and water resistance for varied field conditions.
  • Universal mounting: Compatible with any gimbal connector on Matrice enterprise drones.

Critical nighttime visibility for professional UAS deployments

The Zenmuse S1 empowers drone operators to maintain 24-hour operational readiness by providing superior light penetration through LEP technology. Its high beam mode offers a precise 4° field of view at 300 meters (984 ft), allowing inspection teams to see details that traditional LED lights would miss. The payload is optimized for energy efficiency, drawing only 24 W to ensure that flight times are not significantly compromised. This balance of power and efficiency makes it an indispensable asset for search and rescue teams who need to stay airborne longer while searching large areas in total darkness.

  • DJI Matrice 400: Supports dual-spotlight control and advanced software integration.
  • Matrice 350 RTK: Plug-and-play compatibility with standard DJI SkyPort connectors. 
  • Matrice 300 RTK: Fully supported for long-range nighttime illumination missions. 
  • Zenmuse H30 Series: Real-time alignment for unified camera and lighting control. 
  • DJI FlightHub 2: Integrated remote viewing for collaborative command operations.
  • MSDK/PSDK: Open developer ecosystem for custom app and hardware integration.

Operational benefits

  • Search and rescue: Rapidly locating subjects in low-light environments. 
  • Law enforcement: Tracking suspect movements with high-intensity beam overwatch. 
  • Industrial inspection: Identifying structural defects on utility towers at night. 
  • Emergency signaling: Alerting ground personnel with high-frequency strobe flashes. 
  • Public safety: Improving situational awareness during nighttime emergency response. 
  • Site security: Providing localized lighting for perimeter breaches after dark. 

Engineered for system interoperability

The Zenmuse S1 is optimized for integrated workflows, specifically when deployed on multi-gimbal aircraft like the Matrice 400. Operators can mount two S1 units simultaneously to double the illumination area for large-scale search operations, with both units controlled through a single interface. The payload's support for Payload SDK and Manifold 3 allows developers to create specialized automated routines for lighting and tracking. This open architecture, combined with the ability to sync with the Zenmuse H30 series, transforms the aircraft into a highly sophisticated platform for comprehensive nighttime situational awareness and data collection.

The Zenmuse S1 provides the necessary lighting performance to extend drone operations into the night with total safety. Its combination of LEP technology and intelligent gimbal alignment ensures that pilots can identify targets from hundreds of meters away. By delivering reliable, high-intensity illumination, the S1 solves the primary challenge of nighttime visibility in professional aerial missions.

What is LEP technology and why is it used in the S1?

LEP stands for Laser Excited Phosphor, which is a technology that uses a laser to create a highly concentrated and efficient light source. It is used in the Zenmuse S1 because it provides significantly better light penetration and distance than traditional LEDs. This allows the spotlight to illuminate targets from as far as 500 meters away.

Can I control two Zenmuse S1 spotlights at the same time?

Yes, when used with the DJI Matrice 400, you can mount and control two Zenmuse S1 units simultaneously. This includes synchronized power control, brightness adjustment, and gimbal angle movements. This configuration is particularly effective for search and rescue operations that require illuminating very large areas at once.

What is the purpose of the Strobe Mode?

The Strobe Mode produces a high-frequency flashing light that is designed to alert and draw the attention of individuals on the ground. This is specifically useful for emergency signaling or in public safety scenarios where you need to communicate your presence visually. It can be easily toggled through the DJI Pilot 2 application.

Does the Zenmuse S1 work with DJI FlightHub 2?

The Zenmuse S1 is fully compatible with DJI FlightHub 2 when used with the Matrice 400 and Zenmuse H30 series. This allows ground teams or command centers to view the spotlight's activity in real time. Remote operators can also take control of the spotlight through the cloud-based platform for collaborative missions.

Can I develop my own apps to control the spotlight?

The Zenmuse S1 supports both the DJI Mobile SDK and Payload SDK for developers. This means you can integrate the spotlight's features, such as brightness control and gimbal movement, into your own custom mobile or onboard applications. This is ideal for organizations with specialized mission requirements or automated workflows.
