What to Know About Buying Searchlights

Novalight Single Max
Seen from 6-9 Miles Away!

Are you thinking about buying a searchlight for your business, attraction, or entertainment venue?  Whether you refer to them as searchlights, Hollywood lights, sky canons, sky beams, or sky tracers, these big bright moving lights are sure to attract attention to your location!

Step 1

Does your area allow searchlights?

While not very many, some cities/towns have restrictions on searchlights and flashy billboards (i.e. signs can’t be above a certain height). Check your local commercial planning guide or email the town office!

Step 2

Are you near an airport?

Most cities and towns have ordinances against using large moving lights within 5 miles of an airport.

Step 3

Determine a Budget

Searchlights from DNJ Pro range in price from $1,800 to $8,000. But do remember- DNJ Pro’s searchlights are weatherproof and highly durable, so an investment will last you quite a long time.

Step 4

Do Your Homework on Products

-  Check the IP Rating (Ingress Protection: a two-digit number established by the International Electro Technical Commission, is used to provide an Ingress Protection rating to a piece of electronic equipment or to an enclosure for electronic equipment).

- Lamp Life: Check how long the lamp lasts (usually measured in hours)

- Production Materials: Is the unit made out of plastic or steel?  Steel or metal is more durable and weather resistant than plastic.

-Electricity Requirements: Some searchlights (like DNJ Pro’sNovalight Single 1.2KW) can be plugged into a standard 110V outlet, other larger searchlights require 3 Phase Electricity (in more industrial buildings) or 230V electricity OR a large generator. Make sure you have ample power supply for the sky tracer unit(s) you are interested in.

Step 5

Request a demo, demonstration videos and pictures or visit the location.

If possible, request a demo from the company or visit the company personally (schedule an appointment first!) to see the searchlights in action!

Step 6

Re-Evaluate

After seeing the lights you may have to reevaluate your budget- but still remember to keep your finances in mind. Don’t commit to something that could potentially cause a financial burden!

Good luck!
