This is the ACR RCL-100 LED in black as a complete set, featuring the URP-103 Point Pad, URC-104 master controller, and URH-103 wireless handheld remote. Over 220,000 candela from nine LEDs, for 12 to 24 volts.
The fully equipped black set, with both fixed and wireless control
This is the ACR RCL-100 LED in black as a complete set, including the URP-103 wired Point Pad, the URC-104 master controller, and the URH-103 wireless handheld remote. Everything is in one part number, so there is no need to hunt for individual components.
With a 220,000-candela light, color choice is more than just cosmetic. The more powerful the lamp, the more stray light reflects back onto the housing itself at night, entering your field of vision. A dark housing noticeably dampens this, which is pleasant when the searchlight is located in your line of sight on a flybridge or radar arch. Furthermore, black suits vessels with a dark superstructure or hardtop.
Otherwise, the technology is the same as the white version: nine LEDs with approximately 40,000 operating hours, up to fifty percent less power consumption than its halogen predecessor, XRCiZ, which automatically exercises the mechanism every thirty days, and an internal tilt mechanism protected from the elements.
Why choose the RCL-100 LED complete set in black?
-
220,000 candela: an array of nine LEDs, more than twice the light intensity of the RCL-50
-
Up to 50 percent less power: on 12-volt vessels, the LED version consumes significantly less than halogen
-
40,000 operating hours: the LEDs last for tens of thousands of hours
-
XRCiZ self-maintenance: the light automatically rotates every thirty days to prevent corrosion
-
Internal tilt mechanism: fully enclosed to protect it from the weather
-
Wireless handheld remote included: operate the light from the foredeck or aft deck
-
Black housing: dampens stray light and matches dark superstructures
Who is this product for?
The complete set in the dark finish, for vessels where the light is operated from multiple locations and where black better matches the superstructure. A popular choice for sport fishermen with dark T-tops, workboats, and yachts where the searchlight sits in the skipper's line of sight from the flybridge. The RCL-100 LED is suitable for sports yachts, mega yachts, sport fishing vessels, and light commercial craft.
What are the benefits for you?
-
Less glare on board: a dark housing dampens the stray light of a powerful lamp
-
Control from wherever you are: fixed at the helm or wireless on deck
-
Matches a dark superstructure: does not look out of place on a black T-top or mast
-
You can see significantly further: more than twice the light intensity of the RCL-50 LED

Frequently asked questions
What does candela mean for a searchlight?
Candela represents the light intensity within the beam, not the total light output. For a searchlight, this is the figure that counts, because the light is focused to reach long distances. More candela means seeing further, not a wider illuminated area.
What does the XRCiZ feature do?
XRCiZ makes the searchlight automatically perform a full rotation every thirty days. This keeps the bearing surfaces free of corrosion and the electrical contacts functional, especially for a light that may sit unused on the roof for months.
Does this searchlight work on 12 or 24 volts?
Both. The RCL-100 LED operates on 12 to 24 volts, meaning it works on virtually any vessel's electrical system without needing a converter.
Do I notice a difference between white and black with a strong searchlight?
Yes, more than with a weaker light. The more powerful the lamp, the more stray light reflects off the housing. A dark housing dampens this, which is helpful if the light is in your line of sight.
What is the difference between the RCL-50 and the RCL-100?
The RCL-100 LED provides over 220,000 candela from nine LEDs, while the RCL-50 LED provides over 100,000 candela from six LEDs. Both operate on 12 to 24 volts and feature XRCiZ. The RCL-100 is the choice if you need to be able to see further.
