Our Flagship System
HD-1 zArc – 3.3 Billion Candlepower
The HD-1 zArc delivers 3.3 billion candlepower with a 15-16 km 1-lux range. It produces approximately 138,000 lumens from a 1,500W zArc lamp, with a tight 1.5-degree beam divergence for exceptional long-range concentration.
Key specifications:
- IP66 rated (military-grade waterproofing)
- 360° continuous rotation with variable speed control
- Vertical tilt from -90° (straight down) to +90° (straight up)
- Available in stainless steel (~51 kg) or aluminum (~40 kg)
- Auto-ranging power supply (208–264V AC)
This is not a general-purpose commercial light. It is a strategic asset designed for mission-critical operations where standard LEDs cannot reach far enough.

What It Can Be Used For
The 3.3 billion candlepower system is not a general-purpose commercial light. It is a strategic asset designed for mission-critical operations where standard LEDs cannot reach far enough.
Typical applications include:
- Coastal Surveillance & Border Patrol — Detecting small vessels, smugglers, or unauthorized craft at extreme distances before they reach territorial waters.
- Naval Anti-Piracy Operations — Illuminating pirate skiffs or suspicious craft from a safe distance, providing early warning and visual identification for defensive measures.
- Search & Rescue at Extreme Range — Locating life rafts, debris fields, or distressed vessels over vast ocean areas where standard searchlights fail to penetrate.
- Maritime Domain Awareness — Providing persistent, high-intensity illumination for naval forces conducting reconnaissance or patrol missions in contested waters.
- Critical Infrastructure Protection — Defending offshore platforms, ports, and coastal facilities from asymmetric threats by providing clear, long-range visual confirmation.
- Deterrence & Non-Lethal Disorientation — The intense beam can serve as a powerful visual deterrent, signaling to approaching vessels that they have been detected and are under observation.
- Research & Observation — Supporting atmospheric research, space observation, and extreme-range documentation projects where long-distance illumination is essential.
