This lightweight hand-held searchlight uses a short arc Xenon lamp to create daylight in the night.  The lamp is positioned in a highly accurate, rhodium plated reflector and produces a very concentrated white beam, which can illuminate targets more than a mile away.

The spectral distribution of its "sun-like" light provides excellent color and target identification. The MegaBeam's portability and other design features make it ideal for long-range search and surveillance in all environments.

The body is fabricated from injection molded, high impact plastic. It is physically designed to attach on and operate with the optional battery pack. The MegaBeam can be remotely connected and operated at distances up to 100' from the battery or other appropriate sources.

The body of the MegaBeam contains the regulator and igniter electronics on a printed circuit card and is scaled against the elements. All fasteners are of stainless steal construction. Total weight of the unit is less than five pounds (2.3 Kgs.). The 75 watt Xenon lamp is coaxially positioned in a precision, deep parabolic, electroformed, rhodium reflector. The body is of black anodized aluminum housing, creating a prefocused lamp module. The beam intensity is 6,000,000 candela. Color temperature is approximately 6,000 Kelvin. Detection of the light source is approximately fifteen degrees off the center beam axis when viewed from a distance of 500' or more. The lamp has a life of 500 hours with proper maintenance.
