6. To Activate Strobe, rock and hold the 4-way switch to the left. The default setting is momentary strobe, which means that the searchlight will strobe when the 4-way switch is held to the left. Please consult the Operation Manual for instructions on how to program the left button function to continuous strobe or low beam mode.

Exposure of the eye to either the direct searchlight beam or a beam reflected from a flat mirror-like surface can cause permanent eye injury to the unprotected eye. Follow the same precaution even when an Infrared Filter is installed on the searchlight.
  • Nominal Ocular Hazard Distance (NOHD), Visible Light: 10 meters
  • NOHD, Infrared Light: 30 meters for exposures greater than 10 seconds
• Do not operate searchlight if the front lens is damaged or removed. Ultraviolet injury to skin and cornea can occur if the searchlight is operated with a damaged front lens or if the lens is removed.
• Do not allow the concentrated beam of light to be focused on flammable materials at close distances for prolonged periods of time.
• Do not operate light in an explosive environment.
• Do not touch lamp connections during operation as high voltage is present.
• Do not touch the quartz envelope of the lamp. If the lamp is accidentally touched, clean with alcohol or the solution supplied in the replacement lamp kit.
