You’ll find the 1000-Watt xenon searchlight on ships and vessels across the marine industry. Considered our flagship product, the 1000-Watt xenon searchlight is the standard among the U.S. inland waterways market, U.S. Great Lakes, U.S. Military Sealift Command (MSC) and Coast Guard. The U.S. Coast guard has installed this searchlight on all of its icebreaker vessels, buoy tenders, and three different classes of cutters. Extremely robust, it’s been engineered to withstand harsh conditions and the test of time. Similar to our other xenon searchlights, it can be upgraded with a variety of optional add-ons.
