Tarot TL3301 50W 8000Lux Searchlight with Stepless Dimming

The Tarot TL3301 is a drone-mounted searchlight for night patrol, power-line inspection, search and rescue and other low-light UAV work. Its dual-LED head puts out 8000 lux at the full 50 W, and brightness is driven by a standard PWM servo signal, so any receiver or flight-controller output with a spare channel can run it.

Key features

• Three-stage PWM control: 0–10% of the travel switches the light off, 11–90% dims it steplessly and 91–100% switches to flash mode.
• 35° beam: about 8.5 lux at the centre of the spot from 50 m away, lighting roughly 910 m² of ground from 50 m altitude.
• Separate lamp and controller: a 138 g lamp head with a 44 g controller, 203 g overall.
• Simple mounting: clamps to a 25 mm diameter arm or fits a tripod.
• Fan-cooled head: active cooling carries heat away during long runs at high output.

Keep the output at around 30% until the drone is airborne, then run it up to full power, and mount the head where propeller downwash flows over it. The body gets hot as power rises, so let it cool before handling.
