horizontal rotation and 135° vertical tilt.
The Stryker® ST Includes:
• Stryker® ST Spotlight
• Hardwired Dash Remote with two built-in studs and wing nuts
• Wiring Harness – 20 foot (6 meter) long
• Rockguard (halogen units only)
• Mounting Plate
• Three #8-16 x 3/4 inch panhead stainless steel self-tapping
screws
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS – DASH REMOTE
1. Determine a location for the dash remote. Drill two holes 4.5
mm or 3/16 inch diameter for the mounting screws and one
hole 24 mm or 15/16 inch diameter for the electrical connector
to pass through. A template is attached to end of this brochure
to facilitate hole drilling- See Figure 1.
2. Route the connector on the remote through the hole in the
dash and connect to mate on the wiring harness.
OPTIONAL POSSIBILITIES
• One ST hardwired remote controlling two ST Spotlights using
the ST-3020-Y splitter
• Two ST hardwired remotes controlling one ST spotlights using
the ST-3020-X splitter
When using one remote to control two spotlights, the spotlight
selector function allow the user to control the spotlights inde-
pendently or in tandem. For more directions on the possibilities
please see golight.com/ST
MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS - SPOTLIGHT
1. Determine the location for the light on your vehicle. This
should be a flat surface. The small arrow on the base
indicates the normal forward direction of the light. The light
will rotate to the left of this arrow 185 degrees and to the
right 185 degrees. The lamp will tilt down 45 degrees and tilt
up 90 degrees. The location should take into consideration
this range of motion to maximize usability. Keep in mind the
swing diameter is 286 mm (11.3 inches) from the center of the
mounting plate – see Figure 2. This allows for clearance as
the light is rotating.
2. Remove the dog point screw from the mounting plate. Refer to
Figure 3. Save this screw for reinstallation. Remove mounting
plate from base.
3. The mounting plate is designed to be mounted with either the
supplied sheet metal screws or a combination of cap screws,
nuts and washers. You should choose hardware appropriate to
the surface to which you intend to attach the light. Drill holes
in mounting surface for either type of hardware depending upon
your preference Refer to Figure 4 for hole pattern dimensions
or use the mounting plate as a template. Drill holes and secure
mounting plate with fasteners.
4. Drill a center hole in mounting surface for passage of wiring
harness. Minimum suggested diameter is 27 mm (1 1/16 inch).
5. The red and black wire leads on the spotlight need to be
connected to a fused 12V DC power source on the vehicle. It is
critical that polarity be observed. See amp draw and recom-
mended fuse size chart below. Connect vehicle positive (+) to
spotlight positive (red) wire. Connect vehicle chassis ground (-)
to spotlight ground (black) wire. Use appropriate wire gauge
and fuse for your light and appropriate automotive wiring
connectors.
Electrical requirements are as follows:
Halogen Models – 3020ST, 3021ST, 3026ST
Max Current Draw: 5.5A @ 13.8V
Recommended Fuse: 7.5A to 10A
LED Models – 30204ST, 30214ST, 30264ST
Max Current Draw: 3.5A @ 13.8V
Recommended Fuse: 5A
6. Route the wiring harness from the remote through the vehicle
to the mounting bracket.
7. Connect electrical connector on spotlight to mating connector
on wiring harness.
8. Use silicone sealant to fill center hole around wiring harness.
IMPORTANT: Allow 75 mm (3 inches) of cord to remain under
light to ensure full 370 degrees rotation.
9. Ensure gasket is properly placed on perimeter of the base.
Silicone or other like sealants should not be used around the
gasket as it will limit the ability to drain water properly.
10. Wet the mounting surface with a small amount of water to
ease installation.
11. Tipping the front of the light down, first push it forward and
then pull backward causing the front bracket to hook into the
mounting plate. Refer to Figure 3.
12. Seat the rear bracket and base onto the mounting plate. Peel
back the tab at the rear of the mounting gasket to gain access
to the screw hole. Install dog point screw through base and
rear bracket and tighten into mounting plate.
13. Mechanical installation is now complete.
