Just curious, when you see something like a police helicopter searching at night, they have a BIG spotlight. Anybody know what they use?
Helicpoter spotlight?

Here in New York the NYPD has a small fleet of helicopters. I'm not a helicopter buff, but recall a couple of articles in the paper about them, recently because they will be deployed for the RNC next week.
Anyways, I believe the choppers use the Nightsun (30million cp) from Spectrolab:
Nightsun
The article last week also mentioned we have a new helicopter in New York, the Koala:
NYPD n315pd
That helicopter is usually paired with a different Spectrolab (15million cp) searchlight:
Starburst
but I remember the article saying it was getting a super duper searchlight, but it didn't mention which.
Well, that's all I knows,

Yah I want on with a Spctrolab CHIS mounted on front. The battery drain may be a problem. Hey if you own a Hummer, you could always mount it on it. If one of my investments flys, I get one. Its only money and you can't take it with. Chech it out: /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/buttrock.gif

Yep, NikolaTesla, that sure is one for the rear parcel shelf, aimed rearwards of course!

I was out walking in the country a year or so ago and got hit by one so far away that I could not hear the chopper.
I jumped and started counting seconds to see how far away the lightning was. I did not expect to get to 2.
Then I realized there were no clouds in the sky...
The only reason I even saw the copter was because they had the light still on.
