## Questions & answers
### [What is candlepower?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/carlisle-finch-q5041342#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-1959eb2cd7a3c919-a-d77abbdf407ee841ce88)
“Candlepower is the capacity of a searchlight to produce light and does not change over distance. (Note: see PDF labeled “Candlepower Distance Chart,” which translates candlepower into distance).”

### [What is Lux?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/carlisle-finch-q5041342#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-1959eb2cd7a3c919-a-f93aa3f422ca18bc28fb)
“Lux is a measurement of the intensity of the searchlight beam at a specific distance, and it changes as the distance increases or decreases.”

### [What is the difference between a xenon and halogen searchlight?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/carlisle-finch-q5041342#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-1959eb2cd7a3c919-a-a1c8f38238d335b63db6)
“Halogen searchlights use a lamp with a filament and require no separate ballast, whereas a xenon lamp has an arc between two electrodes and requires a ballast. Xenon searchlights service a much greater distance because the light source is much smaller. Therefore, the beam can be concentrated into a much smaller, narrower beam on demand.”

### [What is a metal halide searchlight?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/carlisle-finch-q5041342#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-1959eb2cd7a3c919-a-81f90df018bb0d4c63d4)
“This is a searchlight which uses an arc lamp, similar to a xenon arc lamp. However, metal halide lamps have a warm-up cycle and take anywhere from 30 seconds to 1 minute for the beam to come on.”

### [Does LED technology replace xenon technology?](https://directory.readyscan.ai/entities/carlisle-finch-q5041342#company-answer-content-native-digital-agencies-1959eb2cd7a3c919-a-1bbef9ee22b1ad014fb1)
“No. Although the development of LED technology has come a long way in recent years, it still can only service a small fraction of the great distances achieved with xenon searchlights.”
