Description
The GUEST 502-1 and 502-4 Spotlights use a 100 watt halogen bulb to produce a tightly
focused beam which can illuminate objects up to 1 mile away.
The GUEST 503-1 Spot/Flood light uses a revolutionary dual-focus halogen bulb. Select
the 100 watt, narrow-beam spotlight for illuminating objects up to 1 mile away or the 55
watt wide-area floodlight for docking and deck lighting.
All Guest Beamer spotlights can rotate 355° and move up and down through an 80° arc.
Models 502-1 & 503-1 come complete with spotlight, joystick control panel, and 15 feet
(4.6m) control cable.
These units are for 12 volt DC use only

its power source)
Marine grade plywood.
Mounting the Spotlight
1. Select a flat, smooth surface to mount the light. Be sure that you will have access to
the underside of the location, and that you can drill holes there without damaging
existing wiring or structures. Avoid locations where lines, anchors, sails or other
hazards might cause damage to the light.
Installation
1
NOTE: Mounting the light as far forward or as high as possible can help to reduce
reflected glare when the light is in use.
2. Remove the foam gasket from the base of the light and use it as a template.
Note gasket orientation: Front mounting holes are further apart that the rear holes.
Mark the location of the four corner holes and the center hole squarely onto the
mounting surface with pencil.
3. Drill five 5/16" (7mm) holes through the mounting surface at the marked points.
NOTE: Always wear eye protection when using power tools.
4. Return the foam gasket to the base of the light, making sure that all of the wires exit
through the center hole in the gasket.
5. Feed the wires from the base of the light through the center hole in the mounting
surface. A small amount of a non-silicone sealant, (such as StarBrite Boat Caulk
#83801), can be applied to where the bolts and the wires penetrate the mounting
surface.
CAUTION!
Excessive use of silicone-based sealants may damage the foam gasket or the base of the
spotlight.
6. It is recommended that you use marine grade plywood for a back-plate.
7. Place the light on the mounting surface, lens facing forward, and align the 4 holes
in the light base and the foam gasket with the 4 corner holes drilled into the
mounting surface.
8. Fasten the light securely to the mounting surface using four 1/4" diameter (6mm)
bolts, flat washers, lock washers and nuts. Do not over tighten. Large flat washers
are recommended.
9. Install the gray control cable between the light and the planned location of the
control panel. Avoid running the cable across sharp edges or where it may be
exposed to extreme heat.
Mounting the Control Panel (Models 502-1 & 503-1 only)
1. Select a convenient mounting location for the control panel. Be sure that you will have
access to the area behind the location, and that you can drill holes there without
damaging existing wiring or structures. Do not place the control where it could
interfere with the safe operation of the vessel or vehicle. Avoid mounting the control
panel on a curved surface, or in a location that would be exposed to direct rain or
spray.
