<h3>About ACR Electronics</h3><p>When lives are on the line, professionals and adventurers around the world reach for ACR Electronics. <strong>Founded in 1956</strong>, ACR has spent nearly seven decades engineering survival and safety electronics with a singular purpose: to bring people home. From the depths of the ocean to the cockpits of aircraft, ACR's products have earned the trust of NASA, the U.S. Military, the U.S. Coast Guard, and countless everyday explorers.</p><p>ACR Electronics designs and manufactures a comprehensive range of rescue and signaling technology for the marine, aviation, outdoor, and military markets. Their lineup spans rescue beacons, communication devices, and high-powered lighting solutions — all built to perform when conditions are at their most demanding. Whether you're an offshore sailor, a backcountry hiker, a bush pilot, or a commercial fisherman, there's an ACR product engineered for your environment.</p><h3>Emergency Beacons &amp; Locating Devices</h3><p>ACR is perhaps best known for its industry-leading <a href="/7223-acr-electronics-epirbslocating-beacons-200377">EPIRBs and personal locating beacons</a>. Their GlobalFix EPIRB series combines 406 MHz satellite connectivity with Automatic Identification System (AIS) functionality, transmitting distress signals to the global Cospas-Sarsat satellite rescue network while simultaneously broadcasting AIS messages on VHF frequencies to nearby vessels. Features like Return Link Service (RLS) — which provides direct-to-beacon confirmation that a distress signal has been received — and Near Field Communication (NFC) for smartphone diagnostics represent the cutting edge of rescue beacon technology. Their ResQLink Personal Locator Beacon line brings similar technology into a compact, buoyant, subscription-free package for individual users on land or water.</p><h3>Marine Lighting &amp; Searchlights</h3><p>ACR's lighting lineup is equally impressive. Their <a href="/7223-acr-electronics-remote-control-spotlights-200861">remote control spotlights</a> are engineered for serious marine use, offering the ability to switch seamlessly between floodlight and spotlight modes with precision remote joystick control — ideal for night navigation, search and rescue, or docking in tight quarters. For boaters who prefer a handheld solution, ACR's <a href="/200510-handheld-spotlights-accessories-acr-electronics-7223">handheld spotlights and accessories</a> deliver powerful, portable illumination with the durability to handle harsh marine environments.</p><h3>Marine Communication</h3><p>Reliable communication is a cornerstone of on-water safety, and ACR's <a href="/201143-vhf-radios-handheld-acr-electronics-7223">handheld VHF radios</a> are built to meet that need. Their GMDSS-certified VHF radios are fully waterproof, IMO and SOLAS compliant, and engineered to provide clear voice communication in both routine and emergency situations. Models like the SR203 Survival Radio automatically tune to emergency Channel 16 upon activation, putting distress communication literally at your fingertips.</p><h3>Electrical Parts &amp; Accessories</h3><p>To keep your safety gear functioning at peak performance, ACR also offers a range of <a href="/7223-acr-electronics-electrical-parts-accessories-200355">electrical parts and accessories</a> — including power cables, connectors, battery replacement services, and light bulbs compatible with their searchlight and beacon product lines. These components ensure that your ACR equipment is always ready for deployment when it matters most.</p><p>From the mountains to the open ocean, ACR Electronics remains the benchmark for life-saving technology — a brand where innovation and reliability are never optional.</p>

Product Details

The ACR Electronics RCL-85 LED Searchlight (MPN: 1956) is a high-performance, wireless-controlled marine searchlight designed for small to medium-sized recreational powerboats and light commercial vessels. Delivering 240,000 candelas of output from six OSRAM High Flux 30W LEDs, the RCL-85 provides a maximum beam distance of 3,215 feet (980 meters) — over half a nautical mile — making it ideal for night-time navigation, docking maneuvers, buoy and landmark illumination, man overboard searches, and night fishing.

Installation is straightforward: simply run 12V or 24V DC power to the unit and all operations are handled wirelessly via the included handheld remote. The searchlight rotates 350° continuously and tilts 90° (45° up and 45° down from the home position) with an 8-degree spot beam angle. A built-in strobe function is available for emergency signaling.

Built to withstand harsh marine environments, the RCL-85 features an IP68-rated water-resistant light head housing all electronics — a more protective design than base-mounted alternatives. The UV- and weather-resistant ASA (Acrylonitrile Styrene Acrylate) housing and lens are fully sealed for long-term durability. The LED light source is rated for up to 50,000 operating hours, eliminating the need for bulb replacements. This unit is finished in white (SKU 1956); a black version is available as SKU 1957.

Warranty Details

Two Years

The website was easy to navigate. I found the product easy peasy. Placed order and my order was delivered within days not weeks. I would order again from them if I ever need shocks again.

Just as described. Fast service

Easy purchase

Do you have the part in stock that I needed right away with two day business delivery?

Quick &amp;amp;amp; easy

It's the information I needed for my boat motor. The only issue I had with this maintenance manual was the way the manual was finished. I've worked the the graphic arts industry for 50 years and am well versed in print finishing. The book will no doubt stay together, however there is excessive glue on the spine as the cover wraps around the front/back that distracts from the overall appearance.

Quick easy checkout

Great as long as it gets delivered by Thursday
