Light Output

The average multi-beam has 2 or 4 Xenon lights, each 2000 - 4000 watts or 150 - 332 million candle power. Our Singlebeam searchlight output is 4,675 watts and a whopping 1.4 BILLION candlepower. Most truck-mounted, Skytracker searchlights are rated at 2000 watts and only project 150 million candlepower of light.

Beam Size

Yes, size does matter. Typical searchlights have a beam size of 13-16 inches. Our searchlights sport an 18" size beam. The Four Beam Modular Trailer utilizes four HD-1 High Intensity Searchlights that project FOUR HIGH INTENSITY BEAM OF LIGHTS totaling 5.6 Billion Candlepower!

Generator Noise

A truck or trailer mounted searchlight including most multi-beam lights require the use of a gas or diesel engine generator, similar to a utility construction generator. Some of these engines run up to 3600 RPM and make a lot of noise, thus making it impractical to place these lights near your venue's front doors or by the "Red Carpet" at various events. As a result, the lights must be placed in a location away far away from your event. Our searchlights are powered by the newest technology and only require to be plugged into a standard wall outlet. Our searchlights can be placed as close to the door as you want or even on the roof-top for pure un-obstructed view.

Lower Cost

Trailer or truck mounted lights generally require that a technician be present to operate the lights thus adding additional rental cost. Our searchlights require a very easy briefing on how to operate, namely, where to plug it in and how fast do you want it to rotate? Our searchlights are super easy to use and are the brightest lights available on the market for just the right effect to attract attention to your event.
