Francis High Power LED Searchlights are the very best available world-wide. The company has been at the forefront of LED searchlight product development and is now considered the market leader. The range continues to expand, and through innovation and expertise, the performance is now comparable to that of Xenon.
Using the highest grade of the world class Osram LED and a series of precision made glass lenses, this range offers a high power light output with low power consumption, while providing the ability to identify objects and potential dangers from a far greater distance. The high power LED Chips have up to 30,000 life hours.
As with all Francis products, the construction is robust and of the highest quality. To dissipate the heat generated by the high power LED, the Francis High Power LED searchlights are fitted with an internal fan-cooled heatsink to optimise the chip output, ensuring the highest efficiency, with the lowest maintenance cost.
Francis searchlights are used in both maritime and land sectors, and for a variety of purposes such as:
- Navigation safety
- Search and rescue
- Oil spill detection
- Light signaling
- Survey and exploration
- Border patrol
- Anti piracy
- Incident response
Francis Searchlights Range
The High Power LED Searchlights are part of Francis range of Maritime Searchlights, Signalling Projectors, and Defence and Security Searchlights, among other high power lighting products.
Francis Searchlights have further developed and improved all remote controlled searchlights across the range by adding full variable speed, a new modern and sleek joystick control panel, using membrane and LED technology, offering Bus Control and auto home position setting, all at no extra cost, with optional controls available on request.
Francis have recently completed the design of their new Laser LED searchlights, which are available in 250w & 500w output, in both manual and remote-control options.
These new Laser LED searchlights offer significant advancements over traditional Xenon lamps, combining the power of laser/LED technology.
Key features and benefits:
High Output Power: Available in 250w and 500w outputs, offering exceptional brightness comparable to higher wattage Xenon lamps.
Xenon Equivalent Performance:
- The 250w version delivers illumination similar to a 2.5Kw Xenon lamp.
- The 500w model boasts an output comparable to a 3.5Kw Xenon lamp.
Integrated Design: Eliminates the need for external driver boxes, making installation simpler and more compact. Simply connect the mains supply and data cable for control panels.
Enhanced Features:
- Longer lifespan (12,000 hours for both models) compared to Xenon lamps.
- Lower energy consumption than Xenon lamps.
- Reduced heat generation, potentially increasing the lifespan of nearby components.
- Potentially greater range and illumination due to optimized and collimated light output using precision glass lenses.
IR LED array combines high-quality components and customizable strobe functionality to offer powerful and versatile infrared illumination for a variety of applications. It leverages a combination of Osram IR LED chips and a Ledil 4° Lens Assy to ensure efficient and focused infrared illumination. These are fitted around the Front Lens Assy as shown on the drawing C30527-1 attached.
Strobe Capability, with frequency and Duty Cycle parameters adjustment via the control panel see drawing C30513-1 attached.
