Promethean LP-1.

The Promethean LP-1 was developed under the L&S Central Ohio Research Division [CORD] to meet the uncompromising reliability standards of professional end user teams. An overbuilt 7075-T6 housing is paired with a user-replaceable crumple hood that surrounds crystal-clear Japanese glass and patent-pending AuraWake circuitry.

AURAWAKE.

AuraWake™ is CORD’s patented, reliable utilization of shake-to-wake technology. Competitor shake-to-wake optics will auto shut-off after a set number of hours to conserve runtime, and a motion sensor reactivates the reticle once movement is detected. However, motion sensors may exhibit unreliability if damaged during impact, fostering a subsequent equipment failure upon weapon deployment.

To prevent catastrophic aiming system failure, CORD Instruments is proud to implement AuraWake™, a new partial shake-to-wake system that ties the motion sensor only to the circuit of the 65-MOA ring.

Following 5 minutes of non use, the LP-1’s outer CQB ring will “sleep,” yet maintain the 2-MOA dot on at all times. This provides a constant, action-ready aiming reference that cannot be interfered with upon motion sensor failure, while significantly increasing runtime.

    So far, I have only put a few hundred rounds through the optic but it was a breeze to zero, holds zero at least out to a hundred, and has worked well in all lighting conditions. the field of view is great and optically clear. If it continues to perform as well as it has, I would definitely purchase another.

    Could use a way to retain the battery cap to the optic. Pretty good so far.

    I just got my Promethean LP-1 yesterday. So far so good. Build quality seems to be great, glass clarity is great, and the reticle brightness can be anywhere from barely visible to burning your corneas out (in the best way possible, not a negative I promise). I have yet zero it, so that part is still unknown, but it sure does look great sitting on top of my Vector SBR. So far I am quite pleased with it.

    Great dot, I’ve got an EOtech 512 and a EXPS3 this is about the same weight but a bit more robust. It’s a red dot not a holographic so the battery life is significantly longer plus with the aruawake it’s always on but doesn’t burn like an EOtech does, works great through a magnifier, I use a sig 3x and a holosun. Works fine through both. Holds zero well, and like 95% holds across other AR’s with the QD Mount. I’d buy this over the comparable holosun any day, and about on par with the vortex AMG

    Product seems to be of good quality and craftsmanship, wish I could say the same for the communication from L&S. I understand that things happen to push timelines out but not making that point public can erode confidence in consumers. Communication will make or break business.

      Riley, thank you for your feedback. Can you double check that our emails are not ending up in your spam? We’ve also individually called each backorder customer that experienced a delay, just in case. You may have a voicemail from us.
