Description
A Searchlight is a piece of equipment for illumination which comes in a broad range of sizes. Smaller hand-held devices can pump out a few hundred watts to produce illumination up to 270 meters and are light enough to be mounted on Battle Armor and Exoskeletons.[1] Heavier and larger searchlights mounted on vehicles and Mechs can light up targets as far away as five kilometers with thousands of watts of illumination.[2]

Construction Rules
Except for Combat Vehicles & BattleMechs all other vehicles are assumed to have three hand-held-type searchlights - two in front, one in back - representing running lights, headlights and taillights or, if so designated, as strobes for emergency/police vehicles and warning strobes. In addition, combat vehicles and 'Mechs may have a larger mounted searchlight at no cost in weight, slots or C-Bills. Additional mounted searchlights adhere to standard core construction rules, and for both vehicles and 'Mechs weigh .5 tons and take up one critical slot in 'Mechs, combat and support vehicles.Cite error: Closing </ref> missing for <ref> tag
