IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
This symbol is to alert you to important operating or
servicing instructions that appear in your instructions.
Always follow basic safety precautions when using
this product to reduce the risk of injury, fire or electric
shock.
This light is for off road and utility use only. It is not designed
for road use as a driving light.
The Stryker™ complies with Part. 15.105 of the FCC Rules.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device. These limits are designed
to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses,
and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause
harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be
determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different
from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.
FCC RULE Part. 15.21 - Changes or modifications made by
the user not expressly approved by Golight, Inc. for compliance
could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
For safe and efficient operation of your Golight® Stryker™,
observe these guidelines:
Your Golight® Stryker™ is a radio transmitter and receiver
operating at 433MHz. Whenever the light is on, the internally
mounted antenna sends out and receives radio frequency (RF)
energy.
• Modern electronic equipment, i.e. Personal medical devices
such as pacemakers, hearing aids, etc., are shielded from RF
energy. However, RF energy may affect some electronic
equipment.
• Vehicle electronic systems may be affected by RF energy.
Check with your vehicle manufacturer representative to be
sure that your Golight® Stryker™ will not affect the
electronic system of your vehicle.

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 (hard-wired)
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 em-
bossed on the control and should be situated accordingly. All wiring
should be undertaken with power removed from the system. First, at-
tach 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 10 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 depress-
ing the fast/slow button one time and by depressing it again to
restore the original speed.
4. The spotlight should not be turned on when the snap on lens
cover (rockguard) is attached. The hard wired dash control will be
backlit when the bulb is illuminated.
