This is the ACR RCL-50 LED in black as a complete set, with URP-103 Point Pad, URC-104 master controller and URH-103 wireless handheld remote. Over 100,000 candela, with return-to-home function.
The complete black set: fixed control plus a wireless handheld remote
This is the ACR RCL-50 LED in black as a complete set, supplied with the URP-103 wired Point Pad, the URC-104 master controller and the URH-103 wireless handheld remote. Everything you need is included under a single part number, so there is no need to source control components separately.
The black housing is the choice for vessels with a dark superstructure or hardtop. Additionally, it offers a practical benefit you only notice at night: a dark housing reflects less light into your field of view than a white one.
With the wireless remote included, you are not tied to the helm station. You can take it to the foredeck when mooring, or to the aft deck during a search operation. The handheld remote features backlit buttons and ridges on both sides for grip in wet or rough conditions. The master controller adds the return-to-home function and makes it possible to control two searchlights with a single remote.
Why choose the RCL-50 LED complete set in black?
Over 100,000 candela: a focused LED array of six LEDs that reaches far into the dark
Up to 50 percent less power: on 12-volt vessels, the LED version consumes significantly less than halogen
40,000 burning hours: the LEDs last for tens of thousands of hours
XRCiZ self-maintenance: the light automatically rotates every thirty days to prevent corrosion
360 degrees rotation: continuous rotation at high or low speed, without hard end stops
Wireless handheld remote included: operate the light from the foredeck or aft deck
Black housing: matches a dark superstructure and reflects less light back at night
Who is this product for?
The complete set in the dark finish, intended for vessels where the light is operated from multiple locations and where a black housing better complements the superstructure. Often chosen for sport fishing boats with a dark T-top, workboats, and yachts where the searchlight is in the skipper's line of sight from the flybridge.
What are the benefits for you?
Control wherever you are at that moment: fixed at the helm or wireless on deck
Less reflection at night: the dark housing dampens stray light in your field of view
Control two searchlights with one remote: operated independently or simultaneously
Everything in one part number: no need to gather separate components

Frequently asked questions
What does candela mean for a searchlight?
Candela is the luminous intensity in 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 therefore means seeing further, not necessarily a wider illuminated area.
What does the XRCiZ function do?
XRCiZ makes the searchlight automatically rotate every thirty days. This keeps the bearing surfaces free of corrosion and the electrical contacts working. Especially for a light that sits unused on the roof for months, this prevents it from seizing up.
Does this searchlight work on 12 or 24 volts?
On both. This series works on 12 to 24 volts, so it can be used on virtually any vessel's electrical system without a converter.
Can I operate the searchlight from multiple locations?
With the RCL-50, you can connect up to three control units to the system. Handy if you want to be able to steer from both the interior helm station and the flybridge.
What is the difference between the RCL-50 versions?
Only the color of the housing and the included controls differ. The searchlight itself is identical across all versions: the same LED array, the same housing, and the same performance. Choose based on the color that matches your vessel and the way you prefer to operate it.
Why do people choose a black searchlight?
Usually because the superstructure, hardtop, or radar mast is also dark-colored. Furthermore, a dark housing reflects less light back into the skipper's field of view at night, which is convenient when the light is within your line of sight from the flybridge.
