Xenon Searchlights – Francis FX300RC

150W xenon searchlight with remote pan/tilt control, RS485 interface, and variable speed joystick operation. Delivers full lamp brilliance on switch-on with instant re-strike capability. IP56–IP66 rated construction in marine-grade stainless steel. Effective illumination range to 2,460 m.

MAIN IMAGE

The Francis FX300RC incorporates design features for demanding marine and polar operating environments. The xenon lamp achieves full brilliance immediately upon switch-on with no warm-up delay and instant re-strike capability without cooling periods.

Remote control via joystick panel with RS485 interface enables pan rotation through 385° with independent tilt and elevation adjustment. Auto home position setting is standard. The precision electro-formed nickel reflector and toughened front glass ensure optical performance and durability in high-vibration and corrosive environments.

APPLICATIONS

Primary use cases.
