| FAA
COMPLIANT |
Sky-View's AD-Light has an
adjustable beam angle that allows it to be 100% compliant with FAA requirements "that
a searchlight beam does not intercept a flight path."
The inability of Skycannon/Skyblaster and other searchlights
made in China to adjust their beam angle may cause them to violate this FAA requirement in
certain locations. |
| ADJUSTABLE
BEAM ANGLE |
The Skycannon/Skyblaster's beam
angle is permanently fixed at 50°, compared to AD-Light's adjustable beam angle that can
be adjusted to fit any venue. The AD-Light's powerful beam can project straight out
horizontally or raised to any angle in between horizontal and straight up vertical. …
a major design advance developed because of our experience in the searchlight industry.
This feature alone adds $2500 more value! |
| WARRANTY |
Sky-View's AD-Light has triple (3X)
the warranty of most of it's competitors |
| AUTOMATED
ON/OFF |
With the AD-Light, you can set it
and forget it. Everything is automated. Custom program the times you want the AD-Light
searchlight to turn on and turn off. Customize the times for each day of the week. Battery back-up to retain your programming in
case of power loss. |
| VISIBILITY |
3 to 5 miles average. It's not
unusual for AD-Light beam to be seen 9 to 12 miles per customer comments & up to 10
times further than Skycannon/Skyblasters' beam under the same ambient conditions &
location. |
| ROTATES
360° |
The Skycannon/Skyblasters has no
adjustment to vary the speed of rotation. The AD-Light has a variable speed control
feature that can be set to allow the AD-Light to rotate from 1 to
8 times a minute. |
| MODULAR
DESIGN |
The AD-Light's total weight is
99lbs and if desired can easily be separated into 2-pieces weighing only 58 lbs and 41 lbs
each to facilitate placing on your rooftop. The Skycannon/Skyblasters weighs 150lbs. The
AD-Light is not only brighter, but it is also lighter than the Skycannon/Skyblasters.
Simple to place mount on the rooftop of your building or
even on top of a vehicle. |
| PORTABILITY |
Sky-view's AD-Light, with a total
height of only 38", will fit in a standard size car or even in the
front seat of a pickup. Try that with Skycannon/Skyblaster's fixed height of 48". |
| OPERATING
COSTS |
Approximately
60-cents per hour!
The 850-watt HID lamp has a pro-rata warranty of 1000 hours. Current cost for a
replacement lamp is $475, making lamp amortization only .48˘ per hour. With the entire
fixture drawing less than 10 amps @ 120-Volts, electrical operating costs are pennies per
hour. |
| COLOR
TEMPERATURE |
The technologically advanced
850-watt HID lamp used by Sky-View's AD-Light produces a high CCT (correlated color
temperature) beam of 6000°K vs. their color temperature of only 5700°K. Fact, lamps with
higher CCT values produce greater brightness perception than lamps with lower CCT values. |
| MAINTENANCE |
Automated belt tensioner and
patented conductivity transfer connector eliminate problems associated with Skycannon's/ Skyblaster's
rotation assembly. When time to change lamp…do it 8 times faster than theirs. |
