Searchlight Programming
The Maxa Beam Searchlight’s operational characteristics can be modified using a
series of simple programming sequences. This capability allows the light to be
customized for specific applications. For example, if the searchlight will be utilized
for an extended search operation, the searchlight can be programmed to start up in
low beam mode with the beam width at full flood. Other scenarios include a
surveillance operation where the light must start up at normal power with the beam
set to the size of the area under surveillance or a tactical application where the
searchlight is programmed to start up in strobe mode with a narrow beam spread.
