Francis Searchlight FR380

Manually controlled searchlight for large vessels, security installations, and maritime applications. IP56-rated (IP66 gearbox) with parabolic glass reflector, external lamp focus adjustment, and 450° pan rotation. Operates across 24V, 115V, and 230V configurations with lamp life of 1,000 hours and effective range to 1,300 meters.

MAIN IMAGE

The Francis FR380 searchlight is engineered for demanding maritime and terrestrial security environments. Construction uses marine-grade materials and fixings throughout, with toughened front glass and integrated light shield to minimize stray light and glare.

Key operational features include external lamp focus adjustment, parabolic glass reflector for concentrated beam output, and 450° pan rotation capability. The unit maintains IP56 sealing protection (searchlight body) and IP66 protection (gearbox assembly).

APPLICATIONS

Primary use cases.

Large Vessel Operations

Suitable for passenger ferries, cargo ferries, and container ships requiring high-intensity illumination for navigation and deck operations.

Security and Surveillance

Deployed on guard towers, perimeter security installations, and fixed-position surveillance applications requiring extended range illumination.

Maritime Search and Rescue

Effective range to 1,300 meters supports search operations and emergency response on open water.
