ACR RCL-85 LED Searchlight – 240,000 Candela
A powerful, remotely controlled LED searchlight designed for small to medium recreational boats and light commercial vessels. The RCL-85 delivers a focused 240,000-candela beam with a maximum reach of 3,215 feet (980 m), giving you confident visibility for night navigation, man-overboard situations, and close-quarters maneuvering in low-light conditions.
Key Features

- Wireless handheld remote included — full pan and tilt control from anywhere on deck; sync up to 4 remotes for multi-station operation
- 350° rotation / 90° tilt — wide sweep coverage for scanning anchorages, channels, and shorelines
- Emergency strobe function — built-in strobe mode for distress signaling and assistance situations
- IP68 water-resistant light head — electronics sealed inside the head for reliable operation in spray and rain
- ASA housing and lenses — UV and weather-resistant construction for long-term outdoor exposure
- 50,000-hour LED lifespan — long-life LEDs minimize maintenance and replacement costs
- Simple installation — 12V or 24V DC power connection only; no complex wiring harness required
- Compact footprint — 5.5" x 6.3" x 7.7" fits easily on hardtops, radar arches, and cabin tops
Parts Desk Insights
Best use case: The RCL-85 is the right choice for recreational powerboats and sailboats in the 25–45 ft. range that need a capable, remotely operated searchlight without the size and cost of a commercial-grade unit. It excels at night docking, anchoring in unfamiliar locations, and scanning for crab pot buoys or debris. The wireless remote is a genuine convenience — one person can operate the light from the helm or the bow without a second crew member. For vessels requiring greater range and output, the ACR RCL-95 (460,000 candela) and ACR RCL-100 step up in power. The Point Pad wired remote is available as an optional upgrade for permanent helm-station installation: ACR Point Pad Remote Control Install Kit and Second Station Install Kit.
