Our SX-5 Starburst encompasses the same versatility and capacity as the SX-16, but does so in a smaller package that is ideal for applications wherein weight is a factor. The smaller dimension envelope also makes this the ideal Searchlight for use in low-slung applications where the ground clearance is not ideal for the larger Searchlight.
Thanks to our valued customers, the SX-5 enjoys the distinction of being the number one helicopter Searchlight for a variety of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) applications.
The Focus mechanism is now bi-directional in nature and the operator can cycle from wide to narrow focus, or vice versa, and stop anywhere in between to reverse direction. The lamp ON Hour-meter will allow for more exact lamp life metrics. The new Reflector has effectively increased the candlepower of the Searchlight to a nominal 50 Million Candlepower when not using the IFCO Hood. The lamp OFF Switch eliminates the need for the entire system to be powered down when turning off the lamp.
