The spotlight is an extremely handy device that allows you to illuminate distant objects with a bright beam. Remarkable is the fact that she is able to "break through" even through the thickest fog.
A feature of this device is the absence of a diffuser, so it directs a beam of light to the right place. It is thanks to the narrow focus that the searchlight is able to illuminate objects at a considerable distance in all weather conditions. The main difference from the spotlight is the presence of a rotary mechanism.
It should be noted that headlights of this type are extremely popular among people of various professions. For example, they can be useful for police and search teams, because these lighting devices are best suited for finding objects and subjects that are at a considerable distance in conditions of poor visibility.
The searchlight is also very popular among hunters and fishermen. The reason is clear - a large range of illumination 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 it.
In addition, installation is very convenientthis device on off-road vehicles, since no daytime running lights can create a similar visibility. Another thing is that it is forbidden to use this lighting device within the boundaries of settlements and on roads, as it can blind pedestrians and other drivers, which will lead to an accident. The searchlight can only be used when driving off-road, with the exception of official vehicles equipped with flashing beacons and special sound signals.
Because such headlights are prohibited from free installation on personal vehicles, it is very difficult to purchase them in a store, and at a reasonable price it is not at all possible. But there is a way out - you can make them yourself.
Radical tuning of a headlight or a large lantern allows you to get a full-fledged seeker that is in no way inferior to a store-bought one. True, in order to make it, you need to purchase several parts and be able to connect them together. But the result is worth it.
So, to make a searchlight headlight yourself, you will need the following items: a xenon lamp, an ignition unit corresponding to it, a sealant, a housing from a headlight or a lantern (the main thing is that it has a reflector), a cigarette lighter plug, a mounting wire, glue, adjusting washers, hot glue and wire 2x1, 5.
The ignition unit is placed in the body, the mounting wire is fixed with hot glue. The spring, which used to fix an ordinary light bulb, is adjusted to a xenon one, the unit is connected to the battery, the lamp is inserted, and the focus is adjusted with the help of washers. Usingheadlights on the car, it can be connected not to the battery, but to the cigarette lighter.
Now it remains to assemble the case and seal it. After that, the searchlight can be used for its intended purpose! With careful operation, it will serve its owner for many years.
