What is a searchlight and why is it needed?

The search headlight is an extremely convenient device that allows you to illuminate distant objects with a bright beam. Noteworthy is the fact that it is able to "break through" even through the thickest fog.

A special feature of this device is the absence of a diffuser, so it directs a beam of light to the right place. It is due to the narrow focus, the search headlight is able to illuminate objects at a considerable distance under any weather conditions. The main difference from the spotlight is the presence of a rotary mechanism.

It should be noted that the headlights of this type are extremely popular among people of various professions. For example, they can be useful to police and search units, because these luminaires are best suited for finding objects and subjects that are at a considerable distance in conditions of poor visibility.

Also very popular is the searchlight among hunters and fishermen. The reason is clear - a long range of lighting and the ability to dazzle the illuminated object. Its last property is very convenient for hunting: while the stunned animal comes to its senses, the hunter will have time to shoot him.

In addition, it is very convenient to install this device on off-road vehicles, since no headlights of daylight can create a similar visibility . Another thing is that in the city and on roads roads this light is not allowed, as it can blind pedestrians and other drivers, which will lead to an accident. The searchlight can be used only for off-road driving, except for official vehicles equipped with flashing beacons and special audible signals.

Since such headlights are prohibited to free installation on personal vehicles, it is very difficult to purchase them in the store, and at a reasonable price it is not possible at all. But there is a way out - they can be done on their own.

Radical tuning of a headlamp or a large lantern allows you to get a full-fledged searcher, in no way inferior to the store. However, to make it, you need to acquire a few details and be able to connect them together. But the result is worth it.

So, in order to make the search headlamp by yourself, the following elements will be required: a xenon lamp, its corresponding ignition unit, a sealant, a body from a headlamp or a flashlight (the main thing is to have a reflector), a cigarette lighter plug, a mounting wire, glue, Melt-glue and wire 2x1.5.

In the case the ignition unit is placed , fixed with a melt-adhesive mounting wire. The spring, which used to fix the usual bulb, is adjusted for xenon, the unit is connected to the battery, the lamp is inserted, and the washers are adjusted with the help of the washers. When using a headlight on a car, it can be connected not to the battery, but to the cigarette lighter.

Now it remains to assemble the body and seal it. After that, the searchlight can be used for its intended purpose! With careful exploitation, it will serve its owner for many years.
