MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS - SPOTLIGHT
Portable Mount
1. Select the best location for mounting the spotlight. Make sure the metal area under the magnetic base is flat and
clean to ensure a strong bond.
2. Aluminum vehicles will require a non magnetic base. Visit our web store at https://www.larsonelectronics.com/
Permanent Mount
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. This allows for clearance as the light is rotating. Refer to golight.com/st-
swingdiameter for diagram.
2. Remove the dog point screw from the mounting plate. Refer to Figure 1. 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 appropri-ate 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 2 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 power leads. Minimum suggested diameter is 6 mm (1/4 inch).
5. The wire leads under the light 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 recommended fuse sizes below. Connect vehicle positive (+) to spotlight
posi-tive (+) wire. Connect vehicle chassis ground (-) to spotlight ground (-) wire. Use appropriate wire gauge and
fuse for your light and appropriate automotive wiring connectors.
Electrical requirements are as
follows:
Halogen Models
Max Current Draw: 5.5A @ 13.8V
Recommended Fuse: 7.5A to 10A
LED Models
Max Current Draw: 3.5A @ 13.8V
Recommended Fuse: 5A
6. Use silicone sealant to fill center hole around power cord. IMPORTANT: Allow 75 mm (3 inches) of cord to remain
under light to ensure full 370 degrees rotation.
7. Ensure gasket is mounted on the base of the spotlight. Silicone or other like sealants should not be used around the
mounting gasket as it will limit the ability to drain water properly.
8. Wet the mounting surface with a small amount of water to ease installation.
9. 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 1.
10. 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.
11. Mechanical installation is now complete.
BATTERY INSTALLATION – ST WIRELESS REMOTE
1. Remove the battery compartment cover from the rear of the handheld remote by removing the single rounded head
screw. Note that cover is hinged at the top.
2. Insert the two supplied AAA 1.5V batteries. Note batteries must be installed with proper polarity (+ and - ) as shown
inside battery compartment. See Figure 3.
3. Reinstall battery cover and screw.

Remote Features
PAIRING ST WIRELESS REMOTE TO ST SPOTLIGHT Each ST wireless remote has a unique operating code. The
Stryker ST spotlight is not paired to the remote at the factory and must be paired by the user before the spotlight will
respond to the remote. The spotlight has a learn mode for pairing that is initiated for the first six seconds after power
is applied.
To pair:
1. Disconnect power from the spotlight.
2. Set remote for spotlight #1. Depress any directional key to check. The indicator LED for spotlight #1 only should
be lit when you do this. If not, depress the spotlight selector button for five seconds to toggle to next setting. You
may have to do this twice.
3. Press and hold the on/off key + speed selector key on the remote while simultaneously reconnecting power to the
spotlight. After three seconds the lamp will flash three times to confirm the pairing process was successful.
OPTIONAL PAIRING POSSIBILITES:
It is also possible to pair:
•One ST remote to control two ST spotlights
• Two ST remotes to control one ST spotlight (transmitter replication)
When using one remote to control two spotlights, the spotlight selector function allows the user to control the
spotlights inde-pendently or in tandem.
OPERATION OF STRYKER® ST
1. Insert the cigarette plug from spotlight into the vehicle 12V DC socket on magnetic mount models. On

Quick Troubleshooting Guide Stryker ST Series- Wireless Remote, Halogen, and LED
1. My light has NO function. Potential issues:
•Programming Issue (Wireless Remotes Only)
•Insufficient Power Supply
•Defective Batteries or Defective Wireless Remote
•Defective Receiver
Programming Issue- Our new Stryker ST Series will not work out of the box. The remote MUST BE PAIRED TO THE
LIGHT before first use. The programming process for the ST Series Handheld Wireless Remote Control (Part# 30300)
is different from our previous remotes.
1. Set remote for spotlight #1. Depress any directional key to check. The indicator LED for spotlight #1 only should
be lit when you do this. If not, depress the spotlight selector button for five seconds to toggle to next setting. (You
may have to do this twice.)
2. Press and hold the on/off key and the speed selector key on the remote while simultaneously reconnecting power
to the spotlight. After three seconds the lamp will flash three times to confirm the pairing process was successful
Insufficient Power Supply- Verify your light is receiving adequate current. Halogen units draw 5.5 Amps at 13.8V /
LED units draw 3.7 Amps at 13.8V.
Defective Batteries or Defective Wireless Remote- There is a red LED light in the center of your wireless remote
control that should light up every time you depress a button. If there is no red LED light, start by replacing the batteries
in your remote control (2- AAA batteries). If this does not resolve the issue, the problem may be the remote control. If
available, use a different remote control to test the light. If a different remote is not available, please call our Customer
Service Department for assistance.
Defective Receiver- If you have done all of the above and your light still has no function; you may have a defective
receiver. Please call our Customer Service Department for further instructions.
My light will rotate left/right and up/down, but the bulb will not illuminate. Potential Issues:
•Insufficient Power Supply
•Polarity Reversed (LED Only)
•Defective Halogen Bulb
•Defective Receiver
Insufficient Power Supply- If the motors are operational, this is a sign that the unit is receiving adequate current, but
not enough current to illuminate the bulb. Verify your unit is receiving adequate current. Halogen units draw 5.5 Amps
at 13.8V / LED units draw 3.7 Amps at 13.8V.
Polarity Reversed- Our LED units are polarity sensitive (Halogens are not). If your light will rotate, but not turn on,
verify your power wires are hooked up accordingly (+) to (+).
Defective Halogen Bulb- Is there a break in the filament? If no, remove the bulb and perform a continuity test.
Defective Receiver- When pressing the power button on the remote control, do you hear a “clicking” sound? If so, this
means the receiver and the remote control are communicating, and the issue is most likely the bulb. (Please note: in
rare circumstances, a defective receiver can still produce a clicking sound.) If you do not hear anything when you
press the power button, the issue could be the receiver.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT AND DISPOSAL
1. See instructions above for battery installation in the hand-held and dash mount remotes
2. Remove old batteries by gripping the positive end of each battery and lifting.
3. Batteries must be installed with proper polarity (positive and negative) as shown inside battery compartment.
4. Properly dispose of used batteries at your local recycling center.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your Stryker ST Series wireless spotlight contains a radio transmitter and receiver operating at 2.4 GHz. Whenever
the light is on, the internally mounted antennas send out and receive 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 equip-ment.
Vehicle electronic systems may be affected by RF energy. Check with your vehicle manufacturer representative to
be sure that your Stryker ST will not affect the electronic system of your vehicle.
