    UV-light! (models -12, -21, -22) The UV-light used by ColorLight is chosen for most efficient result in marine applications. The wavelengths are below 400 nanometers, thus not visible for the human eye. An intensive radiation is generated from the high luminance of the arch inside the bulb and should not be glared into from close distance.
  • Page 5 Be sure to wipe dry the bulb surface afterwards. Reflectors The parabolic reflectors developed by ColorLight have an extremely smooth surface to focus the light in wide or narrow beam. Bare fingers should never touch the reflector surface. If inadvertently touched, the reflector surface should immediately be degreased with alcohol and a soft lint free cloth.
  • Page 6: Colorlight Searchlight System

    COLORLIGHT SEARCHLIGHT SYSTEM ColorLight has with its newly developed control system for searchlights opened for a flexible and future-proof system in which several searchlight assemblies (CL20, CL25 and CL35) and operator panels can be connected to a dedicated network and communicate via the Ethernet protocol.
