Search Lights & Flood Lights

(57 products)

Marine searchlights and floodlights are essential for safe night navigation, docking, and emergency situations.¹ While searchlights (spotlights) focus on a tight, long-range beam to identify distant markers or hazards, floodlights (spreader lights) provide a wide wash of light to illuminate the deck or cockpit for working and safety.

At Anchor Express, we carry the industry's most trusted brands, including ACR, Jabsco, Lumitec, and Marinco.
