RF wireless permanently mounted searchlight

Apparatus comprising:

• a search lamp configured with driver motors for moving the search lamp;
• a wireless searchlight transmitter configured to:
• receive user inputs containing information about controlling the functionality of the search lamp, including turning the search lamp on and off, moving the search lamp left or right, moving the search lamp up or down, moving the search lamp diagonally, sweeping the search lamp with continuous movement, moving the search lamp at a fast speed or a slow speed, and initiating a learn mode, and
• provide signaling containing information about the user inputs, the signaling being transmitted using FM wireless digitally encoded modulation on a fixed frequency with an N bit digital code setting that provides 2N different digital code settings;
• and
• a wireless searchlight receiver/controller configured to:
• receive the signaling, and
• provide corresponding signaling containing information for controlling the functionality of the search lamp, based at least partly on the signaling received;
• and
• the FM wireless digitally encoded modulation being based on using an FM Frequency Shift Key (FSK) scheme at a data rate of less than a predetermined number of bits per second (BPS) with a transmitter frequency of 433.92 MHz UHF that is crystal controlled, so as to substantially minimize FM interference in relation to signals generated from another surrounding device otherwise broadcasting typically in a range of about 303-390 MHz, including garage door openers, lighting controls and ceiling fan controls,
• wherein the wireless searchlight transmitter is configured to activate a learn mode when the user inputs include slow and fast buttons being depressed.
