The Sky-View Company's Searchlight Division specializes in the ability to restore, repair, rebuild and upgrade of 1940's style carbon arc searchlights. These Carbon Arc Searchlights were originally used during Wolrd War II in aircraft defense systems as Anti Aircraft Artillery Searchlights. There are many styles, sizes and methods for producing moving light beams to sweep the sky.

Today, restored searchlights are used nationwide in night time outdoor advertising to attract attention to special events, grand openings, galas, product promotions, advertising, promotional sales, parties, concerts, etc.

Carbon arc searchlights also became well known for Hollywood grand openings and celebrity appearances and have become an icon for beams of intense light attracting attention for miles around against a night sky.

SkyView can either fully restore the 1940's WWII version to it's original configuration or upgrade a pre-owned version to the new technology DOMINATOR™ style with over $500,000 in carbon arc parts inventory (many of it original and in cosmoline condition). Sky-View is able to restore these vintage searchlights to museum quality.

SkyView is the originator of retro-fitting the 1940's style with modern state of the art electronics for automated operation into the patented DOMINATOR™. Life expectancy of these rebuilt searchlights is 60+ years!

At Sky-View, you can buy, rent or lease to own for use as search lights, floodlights, spotlights.

Sky-View, headquartered in San Antonio, Texas, has searchlights distribution centers in Dallas, Houston, all over Texas and nationwide across the USA.

Searchlights and power units are mounted on portable trailers for easy movement into remote areas. The rugged construction of these weatherproof search lights also lend themselves to special uses such as assisting in rescue operations during inclement weather.
