AFI Remote Control Spotlights: Precision Lighting from the Helm
When navigating after dark, few pieces of equipment matter more than a reliable, well-aimed spotlight. AFI — a long-established name in the marine electrical hardware industry closely aligned with the Marinco family of brands — brings that same commitment to durability and performance to its line of remote control spotlights. Designed specifically for the demands of boating, these units allow skippers to illuminate the water ahead without ever leaving the helm, a critical safety advantage in confined channels, anchorages, or open water at night.
Dual Spot/Flood Capability in One Fixture
The flagship of AFI's remote spotlight lineup is the 22040A Remote Combo Spot/Flood Light, a 5" stainless steel kit that combines two independently controlled beam modes in a single compact housing. The 22040A uses a high-powered, dual focus sealed beam bulb; its penetrating 72,000 candlepower beam can illuminate objects up to a quarter mile away, while its 30,000 CP floodlight is ideal for docking or picking up a mooring. That range of flexibility — from a tight, long-distance search beam to a broad, close-range flood — makes this unit genuinely versatile for a wide variety of on-water scenarios.
Full-Range Motion and Joystick Control
The stainless steel light kit includes a 15' wiring cable and joystick control, with 350° horizontal sweep and 70° vertical movement. That near-full-circle rotation means virtually no blind spots around the vessel. The light beam can also be directed manually without harm to the motor — a practical detail that reflects thoughtful engineering for real-world use. A single switch controls spot or flood , keeping operation simple even in demanding conditions.
Marine-Grade Construction Built to Last
AFI is a reliable marine brand from the USA, best known for its innovative marine hardware, and with decades of experience it delivers quality and durability that boaters trust. The 22040A carries that reputation forward: the unit features a 316 stainless steel base and 304 stainless steel head for long-term durability , making it well suited to the corrosive saltwater environment. Industry involvement ensures products meet ABYC, NMMA, and Coast Guard standards — an important assurance for boaters who depend on their lighting equipment for safety compliance as well as visibility.
Standards Compliance and Warranty
The 22040A comes with a full one-year warranty , backing AFI's confidence in the product's build quality. Optional second control station installation is also supported via an add-on kit, allowing dual-helm setups on larger vessels. Whether you're running a sportfisher, a cruiser, or a center console, AFI's remote control spotlight delivers the illumination range and helm-side convenience that serious boaters require.
