Francis Signalling Searchlight FSP250
The FSP250 is a 250mm pedestal or bridge wing-mounted signalling searchlight for medium and large vessels. Constructed from marine-grade anti-magnetic brass with IP56 weatherproofing, it delivers 10-mile daylight signalling range and supports morse code transmission at up to 12 words per minute. The shutter locks for searchlight operation.
The Francis FSP250 Signalling Searchlight is engineered for demanding maritime and land-based signalling applications. The 250mm (10-inch) projector mounts on pedestals or bridge wings and operates via ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore morse code signalling.
All-brass, anti-magnetic construction with IP56 weatherproofing ensures reliable operation in corrosive marine environments. The locking shutter mechanism enables dual-mode operation: signalling and searchlight functionality.
