Marine searchlights are high intensity spotlights that can project light over great distances in a concentrated beam. The tight, focused beam of light pierces the deep darkness ahead of the vessel to help perform a range of tasks from locating buoys to identify a potential hazard. Searchlights may be of the halogen, xenon, or LED type. Xenon lamps have been the most important light sources for long throw lighting applications. A xenon arc lamp is a specialized type of gas discharge lamp with xenon gas sealed in a bulb. It emits light when electricity is passed through ionized xenon gas at high pressure. The short arc xenon filled lamps produce extremely bright white light with a color temperature of 6000 degrees Kelvin.
