Solaris Pro Features
Video time stamp - 6secs
The Solaris Pro is a multifunctional search light and floodlight that is all housed in a single, lightweight unit.
- The lamp head houses the dual optic LEDS and can pan and tilt throught 180 degress on the mast.
The mast itself extends to 1.85 metres in a 4 stage telescopic boom. The mast can also tilt throughout 4 pre-determined angles too. - The triple LED spot light projects a 500-metre beam at full power.
- The flood light consists of two banks of 5 LEDs and provides a wide, diffused beam.
- The lightweight device can be easily carried and manoeuvred using the integrated carry handle.
- A two-point strap mount is built into the body to attach the supplied shoulder strap to.
- The digital display controls all of the lights functions.
- Two stabilising legs fold out from the side for additional stability when in floodlight mode on uneven terrain. Each leg features pre-drilled peg holes for increased security.
Solaris Pro Setup - Floodlight Mode
The Solaris Pro features two integrated stabilising legs which fold out from front to back. When deployed, the Solaris Pro can be extended to its full height of 1.85 metres. For additional stability and security, the Solaris can be fixed in place with pegs through the legs and base plated at the front of the unit.
With the legs extended and secured to the ground, the Solaris mast can also be tilted through the 4 preset angles. Simply lift the latch at the base of the mast, pull the mast up to disengage it from the position guide and tilt it to the desired angle. Ensure the mast is properly engaged with the position guide - the mast will lock in place when correctly positioned.
The LED lamp head being able to pan and tilt independent of the mast, to a full 180 degrees in both pan and tilt – ideal for focussing the beam and shining the light exactly where you need it.
