The reflector is uniquely shaped and shallow, capturing and focusing the light efficiently and effectively. Combined with a convex lens and inset
lens positioning, this light optimally and efficiently captures and projects the right amount of light where the operator wants it. The position of the
bulb and the shape of reflector are different than most handheld lighting products. The difference is in how much of the emitted light is captured
and focused. In many ways, light shares the properties of the water. With many spotlights, a great deal of the light “spills” on the ground around
the light source. While a beam continues to project, much of the light “spills” out around the source, robbing the desired, projected beam of its
power. Often times, as much as 50 percent of the light is lost. In the Larson Electronics spotlight configuration, more than 90 percent of the
emitted light is captured and focused. A side benefit of this is a reduction of “casting,” a phenomenon that occurs when the light “spills” around
the light source. Often times, when surrounded by water, snow or other reflective surfaces, the light spillage will cause “casting” which effectively
prevents the human eye from adjusting and seeing the objects at distance the spotlight was used to see.
The operator can lift the locking tab behind the lamp housing and rotate the lamp head. Rotating the housing enables the operator to adjust the
beam from a wide, soft flood pattern to a tight, spot beam to goes out 750 feet. Continued rotation to the extreme disconnects the lamp head
from the handle assembly, enabling the operator to replace the bulb when necessary. A 3/8-16 inch brass nut fixture is imbedded in the base of
the handle enabling the operator to mount a magnetic base, like our MM-2 or MM-5, to the light. Alternatively, the operator can tripod mount this
spotlight as well. This Larson Electronics spotlight has a lanyard attachment at the top of the handle for users that want to secure the light in the
event they lose their grip.
This ultra-durable handheld spotlight weighs only 18 ounces, which makes it easy to carry and operate. The unit is balanced for ergonomic
comfort and handling. The ergonomic handle is 4.5 inches long, 1.5 inches deep and 5/8 inch thick, making it easy to hold, even in wet, slipper
conditions. The nylon handle has a no-slip textured surface to improve grip as well. The booted push button switch is conveniently placed so the
user can easily access the switch with their fore finger for quick on/off or even momentary use.
The materials used in the construction of the light are UV, water, impact and chemical resistant. H3 replacement bulbs are readily available at
any automotive store in the US. We do offer a spare tungsten based bulb with a H3 base, but any H3 bulb will work fine. The RL-85-RED
spotlight is designed for easy field maintenance. Simple internal connectors are accessed through the snap-in base at the bottom of the handle.
The lamp housing is easily removed to access the bulb and wiring.
This rechargeable Larson Electronics RL-85-RED model includes a rechargeable lithium ion battery and standard wall charger. While other
models on the market have sealed lead acid, nickel metal hydride or rechargeable alkaline batteries, we selected lithium ion for three reasons.
Lithium ion is lighter than any other available battery option, which is suitable for our lightweight, ergonomic design. Second, lithium ion batteries
do not have “memory” and you can recharge them fully or partially as time permits. Total recharge time is 2.5 hours and run time is 50 minutes.
Finally, lithium ion batteries can hold their charge up to 18 months, unlike Nimh or SLA batteries, which usually hold a charge less than 3
months. This is particularly important for infrequent users who rely on the light for emergency purposes. On a last note, lithium ion batteries offer
a greater number of deep cycle recharges than other battery types, which means longer battery life.
