800 million candlepower (are you ready?

Here is your gasoline generator that puts out in the area of 11,000 watts

The 60 inch Sperry search light, it uses a carbon arc. Built about the early 1940's used to seek air craft and blind the pilots. ( notice the ventilation blower mounted on the light)

Being in the path of the beam was very warm, there had to be spotter to look or aircraft and make sure that the beam stayed out of there way, we were less than 20 miles from new york city and several major international airports. Also we had to have the coast guards permission before turning the spotlight on.

notice the mechanism that advances and rotates the carbon rod as it is consumed, a carbon rod about 1 inch thick and 1 foot long is consumed every hour. Also notice that there was a small flame as the rod is "burned"

The rod was glowing for a good 5 minutes after being turned off and the light was hot as a pistol.

Whats the search light weigh in at?

Not sure, If I had to guess I'd say the light alone is about 800 pounds and that generator is in the area of 1500 pounds

Good question. I wonder what kind of light it is,there's some amazing throw there.

P.S assuming yours is the only Enzo in the GTA i think my wife saw you on Mcglauglin rd. awhile back.She knows nothing nor cares about cars and she told me the sound alone made the hairs on the back of her neck stand out.:twothumbsThat's an amazing ride you have there.

Take care
