Italian term or phrase: i fasci dei riflettori
Contesto:

Fin dalle 4 della notte eravamo in piedi perchè fra i nubi sopra di noi si udivano rumori di velivoli austriaci: in tutte le direzioni, in alto, verso Palmanova, verso Tricesimo, verso Casasa sparavano e nella notte brillavano i lampi degli shrapnels e i fasci dei riflettori.

Molte Grazie,

Barbara

the search beams
Explanation:
Somewhat of a literal translation would be "the reflector beams". They are referring to the strong reflector lights used in anti-aircraft guns.
