Featuring a powerful magnet, rimmed by a silicone gasket, the searchlight can be placed on any metal surface of a vehicle without damaging paint. the 55 watt light casts a powerful spot beam, that can be set to a flashing mode with the push of a bottom. The Searchlight has mounting holes and can be permanently attached to any surface. Encased in a durable, hard plastic, UV and saltwater, weatherproof housing, the light is a reliable accessory for marine and land use. The Remote Searchlight is not designed to be used as a driving light.

Review: Good buy - Great light works well for security work
Review: Works. - Put this on my Nissan Rogue hood and it didn't stick - disappointed in the magnet until I figured out that my hood is PLASTIC! Put it on my roof and it sticks fine. I love it for night driving, which I hate. It is especially good on country roads, where I can't see the side roads, street signs, driveways, and mailboxes ... until I turn this light on. This works. I also used one of the programable buttons on the rearview mirror for on and off; the programable button only turns it on and off, so I still need the fob to rotate the light. For driving, I leave it turned to the right to give me the best light for that side and use the fob only if I need to rotate it - no fishing for the fob to turn it on just hit the button. It looks like it belongs on a boat or service vehicle, but I'm not fussy, and the price is right. I love it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How do you turn it on??**
A: The power button on the remote, I had to get a good quality battery before mine would work

**Q: How strong is the magnet? Like if i do 45mph will it fly off?**
A: The magnets are good but designed for low speeds. I would say 35 to 40mph. If you are off-road or on rough terrain, slower would be better. I added some magnets to mine, and I can hit 48-50mph but I am on a boat.

**Q: How long is the cord?**
A: 10 to 12ft

**Q: Upgrade Bulb replacement  or replacements what styles will work and do y’all sell a red or green lens**
A: I purchased an led replacement for mine off of Amazon

### ⭐ 2 units received not working
*by J***B on March 5, 2025*

I’ve received 2 of these and so far each unit has not worked. Both problems are with the remote. The remote arrived dead both times and once new batteries are in, the remote does not work. I noticed that the red light on the remote stays on constantly and while this is on the remote doesn’t work, it also drains the batteries within 24 hours. I reprogrammed and even got the light to work for about 5 minutes but then the problem came back as soon as possible. There is no way I can fix this problem and I’m really disappointed that this issue has occurred twice and was really looking forward to a simple light. I would highly recommend not ordering this light. There is no clear route to get replacement parts and based off other reviews I am not the only one with this sort of issue. I also found with both of the remotes the controllers have damaged circuit boards. The replacement I received is rusted.
