Seematz Searchlight Spare Parts
Simplicity and reliability
Replacing the lamp or other parts in a Seematz searchlight is very simple thanks to the construction with a removable unit. This removable unit integrates the back plate, mirror, electrical foundation, socket, lamp, and optional heating. To gain access to the unit and all the mentioned parts, only a series of stainless quick-release spanners should be opened. This can all be done without using tools.
