Abstract

A searchlight system for mounting to a vehicle, for example on the A-pillar, without requiring modification to structural frame components. The system comprises a mounting assembly which is installed on the vehicle and a searchlight assembly which is mounted to the mounting assembly. Searchlight assemblies with different optical devices can be modularly exchanged with respect to the same mounting assembly installed on the vehicle. Also disclosed is a method for installing such systems. Other aspects are directed to heat dissipation and ingress protection for the searchlight assembly, as well as a pan-tilt mechanism with symmetrical drivetrains.
