Colorlight searchlights can be programmed in different modes to make work on
the bridge more efficient. It is possible to set up systems in an Ethernet
network (LAN) where the user can control any or many searchlights from any
control station. Also the control of the searchlight can be made from external
systems – like slaving from a target tracking camera or a navigation system. It
is also possible to control many searchlights in a synchronized mode and most
recently we have added the optional integrated thermal or daylight camera making
it possible for a single fixture to use ultraviolet spectra, visible light
spectra and infrared thermal spectra in the same unit.
The CL control system
is an integrated solution with existing navigation systems – you just address
AIS, MOB, waypoint, danger zone, hostile target or any other point of interest
where you need the light. Without using the joystick the light is focused on
that point until you give a new command or upon manual override of the
joystick.
This software pack may be integrated with Colorlight Dual Lens Searchlights
(CL20/25/35 models) and allows for synchronized operation of multiple
searchlights.
