Patrol Boats are incorporating greater speeds, and as a result, Searchlight Beams must project further, in order to provide the necessary “Response Time”, during an emergency. In addition, there is greater demand to incorporate features which are unique to Patrol Boat requirements, while also meeting the important design criteria of reduced Size, Weight and Power Consumption.  

The Carlisle & Finch Company has met these challenges with two new powerful Families of Searchlights.  The same unique C&F “Precision Optics”, used by the U.S. Navy,  is now packaged within small compact fixtures,  and combined with Light-weight, Advanced, Electronic Power Supplies.  The 200 Watt and 350 Watt Searchlights were designed for Patrol Boats, and include the following important features for the Latest Fast Patrol Boat Designs…

Important Patrol Boat Features

• High Intensity...Tremendous Candlepower (15 to 25 Million!) in compact sizes, provides Long Distance searches, and ensures the necessary "Emergency Response Time", when traveling at high speeds.

• Beam-Size Focus...Operator instantly views Larger Area, by activating remote electric switch.

• Bullet-Resistant Reflector...Indestructible Nickel helps prevent shattering if struck by Bullets.

• Detachable IR Filter...Provides covert surveillance when used with Night Vision Equipment.

• Reduced Size, Weight, and Power...200 and 350 Watt Product Families meet these important criteria for the Latest Fast Craft Designs, with compact, Light-weight, solid state ballasts.

• Low Center of Gravity...Helps product to withstand Shock and Vibration at Fast Speeds.

• Advanced Precision Optics...Deeper-dish Electroformed Reflector collects more light, and projects precision 1-Degree Beam. (Virtually indestructible nickel material lasts life of searchlight!).

• Upside Down Mounting...Dual Bearing-Race Design, allows Upside Down Mounting.

• Unrestricted Motion (200 Watt only)...Slip-rings provide continuous, uninterrupted, horizontal motion...with no stop points!

• Advanced Joystick...A Single Hand controls Beam-Speed and Direction Simultaneously, freeing up the Operator's other hand to steer Vessel, or hold Binoculars. (Move Joystick to first position for SLOW...push further in same direction to move FAST).
