SPECTROLAB SX-5 Starburst Searchlight
Sylmar, Califonia-based Spectrolab
produced its fi rst searchlights in 1969 for military use in Vietnam. They quickly caught on with police aviation units, and as EMS helicopters began to proliferate, the lights became popular in that sector as well. Today, there are an estimated 4,000 Spectrolab searchlights in operation in 195 countries.
When the sun goes down in Stanislaus
County, in addition to NVGs, the Sheriff ’s Aviation Unit utilizes the SX-5 Starburst searchlight to support patrol operations, narcotics enforcement, and SAR missions in their community.
The SX-5 Starburst encompasses the same versatility and capacity as the larger SX-16, but does so in a smaller package that is ideal for applications where weight is a factor. The smaller dimension envelope also makes this the ideal search- light for use in low-slung applications where the ground clearance is not ideal for the larger searchlight.
