INTRODUCTION

Congratulations on purchasing the HUSKY 1.25 million candle power spotlight, an advanced
design combination spotlight and area light. It instantly converts use from a powerful
spotlight to a soft, long-lasting area light. It uses a powerful proven-technology rechargeable,
non-spillable sealed lead acid battery that allows for years of dependable use, recharge
after recharge. It was designed from the ground up to be the most versatile and practical
light for travel, camping, picnicking, tailgate parties and boating. The spotlight gives you the
kind of light you need, when and where you need it.

Two recharge adapters are supplied with the spotlight. It is rechargeable from either a DC
cigarette lighter type 12 volt DC socket (accessory socket) or from any 110/120 volt 60 Hz
AC receptacle. This permits recharge flexibility for use around home, business or in the field.
12 volt DC power is available from most vehicles, boats, jump-starters and portable battery
packs.

2. OPERATION

Two switches (Spotlight and Area Light) control On/Off operation of both lights. The SpotLight
can be continuously lit for up to 25 minutes on a full battery charge. The Area Light can be lit for
up to 15 hours on a full battery charge. Figure 1 shows locations of the handle, handle release
button and flat area stand. Figure 2 rear view, shows Spotlight/Off/Area light switch and
area light.

The handle rotates ninety degrees and locks in two different positions. The handle is released
from either locked position by pressing on the Handle Lock Button (located near two handle
screws) and rotating the handle to the new position. When the handle is close to the body of
the light (folded) the spotlight is carried with the weight of the unit below the handle. When the
handle is rotated to be perpendicular to the body of the unit, the unit is carried pistol style with
the unit’s weight on top. It is your choice of operating positions, depending on your needs
and comfort.
