MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS

Light Unit/Permanent Mount

Determine the location for the light on your vehicle or boat.
Remove the mounting plate from the light. Center the mounting
plate with the vise screw on the mounting plate to the back. Mark
the hole locations for the three mounting screws and drill a pilot
hole for each with 1/8 inch bit. Fasten the stainless steel mounting
plate with the 3 #10 – 16x3/4 type AB cross recessed pan head
tapping screws. Drill a 1/4” hole (wireless) or a 5/8” hole (hard­wired) in the center of the mounting plate opening to accommodate
the power wire or wiring harness and connector. Attach the
connector that is affixed to the underside of the light to the
corresponding connector on the wiring harness (hard-wired).
Position the connection point beneath the mounting surface, and
apply silicone sealant around wire to seal the drilled opening.

Wet the mounting surface with a small amount of water or
lubricant for easier installation, then place the light over the
mounting plate by sliding the front of the light over the front of the
mounting plate, first pull the light backwards, then seat the back of
the light on to the mounting plate. Displace the back of the gasket
and install the vise screw (provided). Tighten the vise screw using a
Phillips head screwdriver. Replace the gasket.

Light Unit/Magnetic Mount

Select the best location on your vehicle for the magnetic mount
Stryker. Make sure the metal area under the magnetic base is flat
and clean to ensure a strong bond. Route the power cord into the

vehicle through a door frame and connect to 12V power outlet. The

magnetic mount Stryker™ should be removed from vehicle’s exterior
while traveling at excessive speeds and in strong wind conditions.

Dash Control/Permanent Mount

Determine the appropriate location for the dash mount control and
create a 2 inch opening to accommodate the cylinder on the rear
of the remote. Remove the outer rubber cover and affix the control
to the dash with the four screws provided. The word ”TOP” is
embossed on the control and should be situated accordingly. All
wiring should be undertaken with power removed from the system.
First, attach the connector that is affixed to the control to the
corresponding connector on the wiring harness. Next, join the leads
at the remote to 12volt DC power with appropriate automotive wire
attachments; the red wire is the positive lead and the black wire
is the negative lead--the unit is polarity sensitive and care must be
taken to observe this. Note: Once power is applied to the system
the light will pan and tilt prior to bulb illumination. As a safety
feature, the control is backlit to indicate bulb illumination only.

Each spotlight needs to be wired on a single dedicated circuit and
the power fused at 5 amps. With the power connected, your light is
ready for operation.

Wireless Dash Control

If you have a wireless dash control, please note that it is vital for
this to be attached to a flat / smooth surface with the 4 mounting
screws included. The arrow under the rubber cover should point up.

BATTERY INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL FOR TRANSMITTER

Remove battery cover: for wireless hand-held transmitter, remove
phillips head screw to remove cover. For wireless dash mount
remote, simply remove the exterior rubber cover. With battery
compartment now exposed, insert batteries according to the correct
polarity or gently remove batteries by grabbing the positive end and
lifting up.

PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS

The Golight® Stryker™ is controlled with a programmable
remote with 2187 different channels. This feature allows you
the freedom to change the channel selection, and the receiver
re-learns the new selection. This light has been pre-programmed
at the factory, and it is not necessary to re-program the transmitter,
unless you experience outside interference. To program transmitter:

1. IMPORTANT: Disconnect power.

2. Remove battery cover from remote control.

3. Set the 7 dip switches to a selection of your choice. There are 3
positions on each; positive, negative and neutral. Use a small
screwdriver and select a position for each dip switch. *Please
note that the orientation of the +/- switch positions may vary
among different models of wireless remote controls.

4. Insert both GP 23A 12V batteries. Be sure batteries have
adequate charge.

5. Replace battery cover.
a. Depress the on/off button and hold it down. Red LED will

light.
b. While holding the on/off button down, reinstall the power
(replace fuse or connect vehicle battery).
c. Keep on/off button depressed for 5-6 seconds, and

then release. The light should now be programmed.

OPERATION OF STRYKER™

1. Using the remote control, turn on the light by depressing the on/
off button.

2. With the joystick on the dash control, rotate your light to the
desired location.

3. The speed of the light rotation can be controlled by depressing
the fast/slow button one time and by depressing it again to
restore the original speed.

4. The hard wired dash control will be backlit when the bulb is
illuminated.
