Lamp and Lens Replacement 

 

All Maxa Beam Searchlights have a field-replaceable Xenon short arc lamp and lens.  
The  replacement  instructions  listed  below  are  included  as  a  general  reference.    For 
complete, detailed instructions on how to replace a searchlight’s lamp or lens, please 
see the Instruction Sheet that ships with each Replacement Kit. 
 

Safety Precautions: 

 

ALWAYS wear included protective  eyewear, a long-sleeved  jacket, and gloves 
whenever the searchlight front lens is removed or the lamp is being handled. 

 

ALWAYS  disconnect  the  searchlight  from  power  when  performing 
maintenance.  Never perform maintenance on a searchlight connected to power. 

 

NEVER  touch  the  quartz  envelope  of  the  lamp.    If  accidentally  touched,  clean 
the lamp with alcohol wipes and allow it to dry completely before installing. 

 

NEVER wipe the reflector surface as this will cause scratching on the reflector.  
To remove dust or particles from the reflector, follow Step 3, below. 

 

NEVER look directly into the searchlight when it is turned on.   Due to the high 
intensity light that is emitted, serious eye injury may occur.
