The silhouettes you describe are made of metal, usually stainless steel for the type of lights used by photographers and movie industry. I'd bet the searchlights they use are Carbon-arc lights which can give you a sunburn if you stand NEAR them for even brief periods of time. I've never heard of silhouettes for a Carbon -arc lamp, though.

Would be worth checking ARRI's website or Mole-Richardson to see what's available. I've been out of the industry too long.
