Magnalight.com Expands Range of Remote Control Spotlights for Boats

Larson Electronics Magnalight announced the addition of 3 HID remote controlled spotlights for small and large boats, including the GL-3067H, the RCL360-HID and the HID-35-RC models.

The GL-3067H features a 3200 lumen upgrade to the original Golight remote control spotlight. In addition, the GL-3067H HID Golight Stryker offers 2 wireless remote controls, one for the dash and one for handheld operation. The operator brings power and ground to the searchlight, typically borrowing the harness used for the running lights on the front of the boat, making the GL-3067H a very simple installation. RCL360-HID-RF offers the same simplicity in the installation, but offers a more elevated spotlight configuration for operators looking to project a 3200 lumen beam over the windlass or bow rail. While the RF designation denotes wireless operation, the standard RCL360-HID is also a permanent mount marine spotlight with a wired joystick style controller that enables the operator to move the light not just elevate and rotate the light, but also move the beam at 45 degree angles. Finally, the HID-35-RC spotlight is a powerful High Intensity Discharge model that projects a 5000 foot beam and is constructed from chrome plated brass. The HID-35-RC is a large, powerful HID powered searchlight that offers a dash mounted, wired controller that includes automated sweep functions, SOS beam patterns, fast/slow modes, etc.

Rob Bresnahan, with Larson Electronics, explained, “Now that most of the country has warmed up, boaters are searching for searchlights that enable them to navigate a growing variety of obstacles in the water. Here in Texas, are manmade lakes are full of stumps, floating logs and rocks. Along the east coast, boaters have to contend with the proliferation of crab pots and related fishing gear in the waterways leading to the ocean. In the ocean, boaters are looking for buoys, markers and other objects that improve or hinder nighttime navigation. High Intensity Discharge (HID) lights generate much more light than high wattage incandescent lights for a fraction of the current draw. Plus the light output is very white and clear as opposed to the yellowish light produced by incandescent lighting.

“For boat operators with significant radar equipment, high powered radios and other equipment that could disrupt the wireless control of the searchlights, we offer the GL-3020H for wired HID Golight with HID power, the RCL360-HID and the standard HID-35-RC. These models have wired controllers which means the operator will need to run a wiring harness from the location of the spotlight to the location of the controller. “
