Xenon Searchlights – Francis FX380
500W xenon searchlight with sunlight-equivalent colour temperature, designed for long-range applications in polar, marine, and security environments. IP56 weatherproof rating, operational to -50°C, with 5,290 m effective range.
The FX380 delivers 500W xenon output with colour temperature matching natural sunlight, making it suitable for polar regions and extended visibility requirements. The searchlight is engineered for marine collision avoidance, man-overboard operations, and security applications including border control and perimeter surveillance.
Constructed from marine-grade materials with IP56 weatherproof enclosure, the FX380 operates continuously in extreme cold environments. The parabolic glass reflector and toughened Optiwhite front glass provide optical clarity. Manual operation includes high-quality shutter mechanism for morse code signalling and optional remote focus capability.
