Million\' candlepower searchlight\'s - why mess about with little flashlights ? ? ?

I am a new member here and i cant find a word mentioned about searclights. I got the impression all you members have an obsession with light intensity and getting the next range of flashlight. But why when you can just out power and flashlight with a searchlight.
I am investing in a 3,000,000 candlepower searchlight (thats 3 million candlepower incase your a bit sketchy at maths), which should be able to immitate a police helicopters searhlight beam to a certain degree. Poeple shouldnt be put off by the weight of these beast's cos in the end its worth it. To be able to illuminate someones house from the 50 metres away or strike a beam through the black night sky is quite a rush, especialy when you manage to attract the attention of a police helicopter turning around (and that was with a 500,000 candlepower searchlight)

To think some of these searchlights are half the price of expensive xenon flashlights with 800,000 candlepower at the most usualy.

This isnt the specific model of the 3M candlepower seachlight i am buying but it will give you an idea of what the kind of power i am talking about: -

3 million candlepower s the max as far as handheld spotlights go in good price (-$50)

To give u an idea of the even bigger ones 6 million candlepower ($1000+) take a look at the bottom picture.

Yeow! Welcome. Sounds like you'll fit right in.

Here's what you're looking for: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=forum;f=4

After you revisit, this should probably be moved to the spotlight forum.
