L230 Searchlight 

 

 

Operating Instructions  

This equipment is designed for use 
out of doors, in free air. 

Never place anything on, or cover, the 
searchlight when in operation as this 
may present a hazard. 

The searchlight can be positioned 
using the elevation and baseplate 
lockwheels. When in the desired 
position the lockwheels must be 
securely fastened to prevent damage.  

The beam of the searchlight can be 
internally adjusted to give a variety of 
`spreads'.  Remove the front bezel 
assembly and using the focussing 
lever, the lampholder can now be 
moved into the desired position, 
towards the front for spot or the rear 
for flood.  When in the correct position 
Re-fit the front bezel assembly. 

The searchlight is fitted with a 
breather unit assembly. This ensures 
a steady airflow in order to prevent 
any vacuum forming within the barrel. 

Note: 

Ensure that the searchlight 

is switched off and the lamp has 
had time to cool down before 
changing the beam. 

Note: 

This product should not be 

used for any purpose other than 
for which it was designed. Any 
modifications to the product 
should not be undertaken before 
consulting the manufacturer or 
agent. 

 

 

Setting to Work 

Safe service in use necessitates 
the strict observance of the 
following precautions. 

Any article fabricated from quartz or 
glass is inherently fragile and care 
should therefore be taken at all times 
when handling lamps. 

Eye protection must be worn when 
handling lamps that have been 
removed from their packaging 
materials. The protective sleeve 
should not be removed from the lamp 
for safety reasons as there is a 
remote possibility of the lamp 
shattering violently, especially if it is 
submitted to mechanical shock or 
vibration.  

Quartz lamps should not become 
contaminated with oils, grease or 
come into contact with skin. 

When fitting the lamp: 

 

Always isolate the equipment from 
the supply before inserting a lamp; 

 

Ensure the circuit is suitably 
fused;

 

 

Ensure that the lamp is of the 
recommended type and rating;

 

 

Check the lampholder is in good 
condition. If the contacts show any 
sign of corrosion the lampholder 
should be replaced;

 

 

Check that the lampholder is in a 
good dry condition. Never allow 
water to collect in the lamp fitting 
or come into contact with the 
lamp.
