Overview 

 

Characteristics 

 
Maxa  Beam  Searchlights  are  lightweight,  compact,  high  intensity  illuminators  that 
use a field replaceable Xenon short arc lamp and a precision electroformed reflector 
to  provide  the  ultimate  solution  for  long  range,  portable  and  remote-controllable 
illumination.  All Searchlights feature: 
 

 

12,000,000 Peak Beam CandlePower Output 

 

Motorized Beam Width Adjustment from 1° Spot to 40° Flood* 

 

Strobe Function with Variable Rate and Duty Cycle** 

 

Three Beam Intensity Levels** 

 

Field-Programmable Beam Settings (start-up beam width, strobe rate, etc.) 

 

Visible and Infrared Illumination Capability 

 

Flexible Mounting Options 

 

Remote Control of Intensity, Beam Size, Strobe Function and Programming 

 

Color temperature similar to daylight (5600°K) 

 

*Searchlight models used for weapon-mounted or extreme shock applications feature 1° spot to 25° flood. 
**MBS-430-W(-RS) weapon lights feature a factory-set sweep strobe and two beam intensity levels. 

 
Handheld  Searchlight  Systems  include  rechargeable  Lithium  Iron  Phosphate 
(LiFePO

4

)  batteries  that  offer  up  to  150  minutes  of  continuous  operation  from  a 

single battery.  The searchlight and battery weigh just 6.5 lbs. 
 
Remote-Controlled Searchlights feature an optional RS-232 interface that allows the 
operator  to  control  all  functions  of  the  searchlight  from  a  computer.    Remote-
controlled searchlights are  frequently integrated into  camera and sensor systems  for 
escalation of force applications. 
 
The Maxa Beam Searchlight Product Line consists of four basic searchlight models: 
 

 

MBS-410 

Handheld Searchlights with Remote Control Capability 

 

MBS-430-W  Rail-Mounted Remote-Controlled Searchlights 

 

MBS-430-Y 

Mounted Remote-Controlled Searchlights 

 

MBPKG-E 

Computer-Controlled Searchlights in Environmental Housing 

 

Applications 

 
For 30 years military, law enforcement, and private end-users around the world have 
relied on the Maxa Beam Searchlight for: 
 

 

Force Protection 

 

Perimeter Security 

 

Search and Rescue 

 

Border Protection 

 

Tactical Operations 

 

Escalation of Force / Ocular Disruption 

 

Shipboard Protection / Maritime Security 

 

Night Vision Equipment Enhancement 

 

Crew-Served Weapon Illumination 

 

Infrared / Covert Surveillance
