I have developed a very odd obsession with spotlights (or searchlights, or floodlights, whatever you want to call them.) after watching the NYE fireworks at Magic Kingdom last year. It amazed me how cool everything looked at night with them. I had never seen disney use them before (I has seen happily ever after before this, I just always watched it from a weird spot where you only saw fireworks.). Anyways, I eventually found out that the smaller ones are made by a company called Elation and cost around $12k a unit. There's a lot of lights there and I don't want to even think about how much money they all cost total. (or how much money it costs to run them every night). But the only thing can't find is what the bigger ones are called. I'm pretty sure they are the same lights they use during Illuminations at epcot. I have no use in this information at all but its driving me crazy.

TL;DR Does anybody know what company makes the bigger spotlights they use during Happily Ever After / Illuminations?

Bigger Lights
 
For the smaller ones, they use Elation Proteus hybrids and they use 32 in total. For the larger ones, they use AO searchlights. I don't know the exact model of the searchlights but they look a lot like the Falcon Beam 2 colour.
