Introduction

A marine searchlight has to be capable of performing a range of tasks from locating buoys to illuminating a narrow channel and
occasionally, searching for a man overboard. Therefore it needs to be designed to offer the best combination of beam spread
(width) and intensity (length), for both shorter and longer range work. Typically, our spot beams have a 7˚ beam spread as
opposed to 40˚ on a flood beam and will consequently reach at least 3 times further.
We quote performance of our searchlight range in two ways; Candlepower and Lux. Candlepower is a useful guide to actual light
produced but does not measure the efficiency of reflector design to project that light at the target. The most relevant comparison
guide is LUX, which is the measurement of actual light available at a given distance. In order to be able to distinguish a reasonable
level of detail, a level of one Lux is generally considered to be necessary.

320°-360° Continuous
Remote Control Lights
The advantage of the Remote Control is that it allows you to direct the light in the
best location for maximum effectiveness. They are an increasingly popular addition on
power boats, helping locate buoys, moorings and channel markers. Control is by
joystick or touchpad. Secondary remote control kits can be bought for most models
which allow control from either the flybridge or main helm.
Floodlights
40°-75° Vertical Sweep
Control & 15' cable included with all Remote
Control Lights, Extension Cables also available.
Dual Station Kits also available.
Bracket mounted floodlights give good service in deck illumination, especially on small
fishing boats and commercial craft.
Flush mount floodlights provide a clean installation ideally suited for leisure craft.
Two beam shapes are available, trapezoidal for deck illumination with sharp beam
pattern edges and flood for deck illumination and transom mouting with diffused
beam pattern edges. In each case bulb adjustment allows the beam to be directed to
the required area.
