Compact but powerful, this 10-inch/254 mm LED searchlight produces a beam intensity of 2.5 million candela and projects light approximately 1581 meters. Compared to halogen lights, LED searchlights are more powerful, use less energy, are more reliable, last longer, and produce a more effective light color. LEDs produce twice the brightness of halogen lights while using 75 percent less energy. LED searchlights are more reliable and less likely to fail than halogen lights. The 10-inch/254 mm LED searchlight has seven light sources compared to a halogen searchlight that only has one. Therefore, if one goes out, there are still six emitting light. Furthermore, it will last an estimated 35,000 + hours (tested) whereas halogen lights typically last between 250 and 750 hours. LED searchlights also produce a white beam, compared the yellow tint of a halogen light, which makes it easier for you to see objects in the dark.
