Kelvin Marine Searchlight
If a searchlight is to have maximum range, its beam
must be almost parallel; its field of vision is, therefore,
comparatively small.
To keep the object within the field is difficult in a rolling
boat, and is best accomplished by holding the searchlight
in the hands. When not required it should be laid face down
on a deck mat as shewn.
With the swivel column shewn, it is possible to mount
the searchlight on a wheelhouse and direct its movement
from below. This form of mounting, however, gives good
results only when the vessel is comparatively steady.
The consumption is low—4 amps, at 12 volts or 48 watts,
yet at a distance of 400 yards, on a clear night, it is possible
to read newsprint.
The searchlight is perfectly watertight. The body is
made of aluminium alloy; the front is of toughened glass
and requires no protecting gauze; the swivel column is
of brass.
Searchlight for hand use, with 4 yards of
flexible cable 23/-0076 and 10 yards of
