<onlyinclude>{{Searchlight}} '''[[:Category:Searchlight|Searchlights]]''' are used to trigger a special [[Night Battle]] mechanic when equipped, playing a special animation and applying the following effects:
*#Special attack rate of the fleet increases.
+
*'''Attack accuracy''' and '''cut-in rates''' of the fleet are increased.
*#Special attack rate of the enemy fleet decreases.
+
*'''Cut-in rates''' of the enemy fleet are decreased.
*#Enemy fleet will target the ship that showed the searchlight animation more often.
+
*The enemy fleet will '''target''' and '''hit''' the ship that triggered the searchlight more often, see ''[[Shooting Order and Targeting#Searchlights|here]].
*#Enemy fleet will hit the ship that showed the searchlight animation more often.
+
The activation rate is 100% on ships with 2 or more HP, 0% otherwise.
*Activation rate is 100%.

*Multiple ships equipped with searchlights do not have stacking effects.</onlyinclude>
*Multiple ships equipped with searchlights do not have stacking effects.

*A few ways to use it:
+
==Listed by stats==
:*Equip on ship in the '''Flagship''' position.
+
{{EquipmentComparisonKai
::*Pros: The flagship will always open fire first (unless already in heavily damage state), therefore it does not matter if it further takes damage. Useful if it's the last battle of the sortie.
+
|iterator = equipmentByIcon|icon = 24
::*Cons: The other ships can still cover for the flagship where applicable.
+
}}
:*Equip on ship in the '''second''' position.
  −
::*Pros: This setup does not suffer from the flagship cover aspect, and ship in the second slot still opens fire early.
  −
::*Cons: May give the opponent 2 turns in a row if their flagship disables the searchlight carrier.
  −
:*Equip on ship in the '''last''' position.
  −
::*Pros: Allows ships that can't be relied on for night battle output to be useful in some ways, as the output doesn't matter if it doesn't get to them.
  −
::*Cons: Likely to lose output in situations where every little bit counts (such as event maps).
  −
*Can '''NOT''' be equipped by base [[CT]].
