Marine Accessories

The marine environment is very harsh and demands top quality products to withstand the rigors of salt water, u.v., heat, moisture and more. Golight® remote control searchlights are used extensively in the marine environment, because they’ve been time tested to survive these elements.

Our spotlights are commonly installed on many top boat brands across the nation. Some of the boat styles include: bass boats, aluminum fishing boats, runabouts, cruisers, small yachts, duck boats, air boats, commercial boats, tug boats, patrol boats and others. Boat manufacturers install Golight® products, because they know first hand how reliable, versatile and powerful our lights are. They also know that we stand behind every single product we sell 100%.

The redesigned Beamer Remote Control Spotlights and
Spot/Floods feature a new contemporary case design.
The new cases are made of tough UV stabilized material
that can withstand the harsh marine environment. All
Beamer lights are motorized for smooth trouble free
remote control operation. Choose from a variety of
controllers and optional dual station controls.

The difference between a boat floodlight and a boat spotlight is what the name states,  a boat floodlight floods the area with light and the boat spotlight puts light on an area that you choose.  When you are boating you must be careful when using a boat spotlight not to shine the light in someones eyes which will limit them from knowing where they are going, a floodlight should only be used to light areas on the shore or if you are in shallow water.

Boat lights are either required or a marine accessorie, running lights are required and spot lights or a marine accessorie.  Spot lights can illuminate objects up to a mile away and can be used when boating at night to look for objects in the water or where the shore line is and you should be careful not to shine a spot light in another boaters eyes.  Running boat lights are for other boaters to see you at night.

Their are some boat lights that are required to be on your boat and their are also some available that are to help you find your way in the dark, most required lights come with the boat when it is purchased, to fine the find what other lights you can use you might want to check with the Coast Guard to see if you can use floodlights or spot lights on your boat.

In the summer of 1994 Jerry Gohl boarded a plane back to his home state of Nebraska, and in the cargo hold of that 747 sat 18 Golight, model 5149s. Those 18 lights were the first ever Golights produced, but they represented more than a first production run, they carried with them the fate of a fledgling company. In December of 1992 the idea for a remote controlled boat spotlight was spawned. Jerry parlayed a connection with a design engineer, Al Gebhard, into engineering drawings and eventually a prototype and by late 1993 tooling had been completed. With 18 lights in tow, Jerry set about explaining to buyers across the country what they had been missing prior to the Golight. The task was vast as was the implication; 5000 additional Golights were being manufactured and they needed shelf space.
Since then, Golight has set the industry standard in remote lighting. Our lights are in service around the world lightning the way for everything from MATVs in Afghanistan to snow plows in Alaska. The rest, as they say, is history, or so we thought. Recently a gentleman came strolling into our offices here at Golight. The gentleman, a rancher, had a Golight. It had been in his possession for a number of years, he couldn’t be sure exactly how many. Though his light was still in good working order, he wanted to inquire about upgrading to one of our wireless models. We gladly obliged and when we took a look at the serial number on his original light it was revealed to be one of the original 18 Golights produced. Jerry persuaded the gentleman to part with his light and it is now proudly displayed in a showcase in our foyer.

A boat floodlight is completely weatherproof. They are totally sealed against moisture ingress, and the mounting hardware is stainless steel to prevent rust and corrosion. The housing is shock resistant and can withstand up to 6 G’s vibration. Both flood and spot versions are available to meet your lighting requirements. The flood pattern illuminates an area 80x wide by 30x long and the spot pattern projects a narrow beam of light up to 1000′.

The Guest M-100 halogen remote spotlight kit has a joystick control with an ABS corrosion resistant housing and sealed beam putting out 100,000 candlepower.Remote panel features a single joystick control for easy, precise aiming. Kit includes spotlight, joystick control panel and 15′ wiring harness.

• One year warranty
• Remote operation with joy stick control
• Light can be directed manually without damaging motors
• Easy to retrofit, same footprint and wiring harness as our 22040A spotlight

Whether you’re spending time on the water in a boat, raft, canoe or inner-tube it is always a good idea to have a handheld light easily accessible. You can never predict what circumstances may cause your plans to keep you out past dark. In most areas, a working light spot light  is mandatory such as Guest Spot Lights on all vessel, large boats as well as canoes and kayaks. While large ships and boats require strong, spotlights as well as handheld flashlights, a compact, portable waterproof flashlight is perfect for a smaller vessels.
