Offering light in both the Infra-Red and visible spectrum, the system is designed for today’s complex special mission environment and is particularly popular with Law Enforcement, Search & Rescue (SAR), Military / Defence applications, Border Protection, Oil & Gas Transportation, Emergency Services and Aerial Surveillance teaks.
With a service life of over 10,000 hours, the LS-400 LED steerable searchlight has essentially removed the need to replace a bulb or lamp over the life of a helicopter. The LS400 is so reliable that over time the operator stands to save substantial costs, minimise maintenance and significantly increase operational capability.
The LS-400 is light, efficient, and reliable, having brushless motors to eliminate electrical noise, a sealed base to protect against weather and simple operation through a cyclic-mounted controller. Specially tuned white light LEDs allow for white light to be visible under Night Vision Goggles, a first for LEDs, and has a clear, easily steered beam that allows a moving helicopter to find and stay on a moving target.
The PAR46 advanced and highly reliable LS400 LED searchlights is a direct drop-in replacement for legacy low-reliability bulb or halogen lights. The LS400 has superior LED light output to traditional bulbs, that projects a beam twice as far as previously achievable. An additional benefit of the multi-LED head array and its inherent redundancy is that the LS400 can also be used as a compliant steerable landing light. The hermetically sealed LS400 actuator base utilizes state of the art components like brushless motors and hall effect sensor technology to achieve a revolutionary improvement in reliability.
