Overview

The Search Light
Re-Imagined

The En-Vision Series is the product of three decades of marine lighting engineering, now brought to market directly under the Arco Illumination brand. Built for coast guard, search and rescue, commercial fishing, and offshore operations — where light is life.

Gyro-Stabilized Beam

Onboard gyroscope maintains precise beam projection regardless of vessel pitch and roll. Your target stays lit even in rough seas.

AIS Rescue Module

Integrates directly with AIS data. Automatically orients the beam to the GPS position of a vessel-in-distress — hands-free search capability.

Full Azimuth Control

360° continuous horizontal rotation with 270° vertical arc. Dual-input architecture: TCP/IP (RJ45) and RS-485 (Pelco-D), firmware selectable.

A New Market — Unlocked

Professional-Grade Searchlights.
Now Accessible.

Gyro-stabilized, AIS-linked searchlights at 1+ km range have historically cost $15,000–$50,000+, placing them out of reach for small commercial and recreational vessels. The en-vision 6 changes that.

Small Commercial & Recreational Vessels

Charter boats, fishing vessels, patrol craft, and yachts — operators who previously had no viable gyro-stabilized search light option.

02

Professional Capability at Accessible Cost

1.2 km optical span · gyro-stabilized beam · AIS-linked targeting · IP67 sealed — the complete professional specification, under $5K.

03

Made Possible by Arco's Integration Expertise

30 years of ODM manufacturing depth, now ingeniously packaged for a market that has never had access to this technology — until now.

Technology

Engineering Highlights

Dual-Input Architecture

Waterproof RJ45 (TCP/IP) + RS-485 (Pelco-D). Firmware-selectable. NMEA 2000 compatible via GL Digital Joystick controller. Direct NMEA 2000 port planned for en-vision v2 (2027).

Patented Optical Design

U.S. Patent No. 12,600,445 B1 for dual-axis azimuth control and gyro-stabilized beam projection, supported by U.S. Patent No. 11,096,254 B1 for the multi-scattered light-source apparatus. Built-in zoom structure allows field-adjustment of beam concentration for target range optimisation. Backed by an 80+ patent portfolio granted and pending across the US, EU, and Asia.

Extreme Environmental Rating

IP67 sealed. IK08 impact-rated. Shock qualified to IEC 60068-2-27 (30g / 11ms). ESD Level 4 (EN 61000-4-2). Operates −40°C to +55°C. Built for the world's harshest marine environments.

30 Years of Marine Lighting Heritage

Backed by General Luminaire Ltd — three decades supplying private-label marine lighting to coast guard, commercial fishing, and offshore operators across Asia and North America. Now brought to market directly under the Arco Illumination brand.
