Installation Notes
Wiring Notes
When wiring your lights, it is recommended that you take the following
precautions to reduce any Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).
 Keep LED modules and any radios as far away from each other as possible.
 eparate the radio wires and the LED wires.
 Any excess wires should be cut short.
 The Ground wire, Power wire, and ynchronization wire should be bound tightly
together as they run from light to light, through your switchbox, and to the battery.
 Do not g ound each unit independently to the chassis. Run the ground for each
unit in a “bus” like structure, to the negative terminal on the battery.
Note: The total wire length between the two farthest units should be no more than 40 feet.

This section applies to the default functionality of
this light. There are also several other advanced
features that can be programmed. Most
applications will not require reprogramming of the
light, but you can find these options described in
detail under the Advanced Programming section.
Standard Programming, Functionality, and Operation
The recommended first step is to identify what color is
defaulted to each input. To do this:
 Connect the BLACK wire to Ground
 Touch only one of the Enable wires to power and
note which color is activated.
 Repeat for each Enable wire.
Please Note The Following
 Enable 3 is programmed for steady burn mode by
default. If you wish to set it for one of the flash
patterns, please review the Advanced
Programming Section.
 If you have a 2-color version, Enable 2 and
Enable 3 will activate the same color.
PATTERN SELECTION
1. Connect the BLACK wire to Ground
2. Connect the corresponding Enable wire to Power
(only one at a time .
3. Touch and release the GREEN wire to Ground to
scroll through the patterns.
† - SAE approved patterns when properly
configured
‡ - SAE approved patterns when
programmed for single color only
Sho tcut 1 - Hold GREEN wi e to G ound fo
3 seconds (light flashes once)
Sho tcut 2 - Hold GREEN wi e to G ound fo
6 seconds (light flashes twice)
Mounting Instructions
DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN SCREWS!!
TORQUE TO 10 IN.-LBS.!!
MUST DRILL HOLES THE
SPECIFIED SIZES!!!
Once the wires are run, the use of a small amount of silicone or other similar sealant (not
included) is recommended to seal the wire hole and prevent your wires from becoming
damaged.
This light must be mounted on a perfectly flat surface!! Failure to do
so will result in damage to the housing and will void the warranty!
For ease of programming, we recommend using the Android app (see page 7 for
details). If you do not have access to an Android device or prefer to program the light
manually, proceed below.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTION PROGRAMMING
There are several additional functions that can be accessed through the “shortcuts” that are
listed in the chart below.
To set any of them:
1. Connect the BLACK wi e to G ound
2. Connect ONE of the Enable wi es to Powe
3. Hold the GREEN wire to Ground for the time indicated.
Each Enable wire is programmed independently.
Phase 1 / Phase 2 (Patterns 1-10 only)
By default, each Enable is set for Phase 1. If
you are synchronizing this light with another
and want the two lights to alternate, set the
second light for Phase 2.
(See Synchronization section for details
Steady Burn
et the corresponding Enable wire for this
mode if you want that color to be teady Burn.
Cruise
Low intensity version of teady Burn.
Auto-Dim
If this feature is enabled the color/function tied
to that particular Enable wire will automatically
dim in low light environments (ex. at night).
FACTORY DEFAULT ENABLE WIRE LEGEND
YELLOW w/BLACK - Enable 3 : Colo /Function 3
YELLOW w/GREEN - Enable 2 : Colo /Function 2
YELLOW w/RED - Enable 1 : Colo /Function 1
ACTIVATING MULTIPLE ENABLES
When more than one Enable line is activated at the same time, the following rules will apply:
 Enable 3 > Enable 2 > Enable 1
 If multiple Enables are activated and a the
highest priority Enable is programmed for
teady Burn, then only that teady Burn
color will activate.
 If you activate multiple flashing Enable lines at the same time the pattern of the highest
Enable wire (3 is highest) will take precedence and each activated flashing color will
cycle though that pattern one at a time with an “Off” time between colors.
 Any teady Burn Enable will be de-activated if a higher priority flashing Enable is
activated.
ADDITIONAL FUNCTION
PROGRAMMING SHORTCUTS

SYNCHRONIZATION
You can synchronize up to ten lights with compatibility.
DO NOT CONNECT WHITE WIRES UNTIL PROGRAMMING HAS BEEN COMPLETED
FOR ALL LIGHTS!!

to change patterns.
2. Program the second light for the
same Pattern.
3. If applicable, program the Phase
of the second light.
Lights set for the AME phase flash
together (simultaneous).
Lights set for DIFFERENT phases
flash opposite one another (alternate).
4. After programming all lights, tie off the green wires and connect the white wires
together.
5. Test lights by applying power to all of them at the same time.

Advanced Programming
CHANGING COLOR ASSIGNMENTS FOR EACH ENABLE
(applies only to Patterns 1-10, Steady Burn, and Cruise)
When shipped, each Enable wire has one color assigned to it. The table below shows the
default factory settings.
To reprogram the color assigned to each Enable, or to assign multiple colors to one Enable,
proceed as follows:
 Connect the BLACK wire to Ground.
 Connect the WHITE wire and only the Enable wire that you wish to reprogram to
Power.
 Briefly touch and release the GREEN wire to Ground to scroll through the color
combinations listed in the table below.
 Disconnect the WHITE wire from Power after 1 second.
For 2-color Models Only: Programming Color 3 will result in an OFF time in the pattern.
This section is OPTIONAL. Most applications will not require
any Advanced Programming. You should only need to
reference this section if you require specialized programming.
FACTORY DEFAULT ENABLE WIRES
◄ YELLOW w/BLACK - Enable 3
◄ YELLOW w/GREEN - Enable 2
◄ YELLOW w/RED - Enable 1

CHANGING COLOR ORDER FOR EACH ENABLE
(applies only to Patterns 11-18 / 3-Phase Patterns)
When programmed for Patterns 11-18, each Enable wire has a default “Color Order”
assigned to it (the order the colors are rotated through). By default, each Enable Wire has
only one color assigned to it.
DEFAULT ENABLE WIRE COLOR
ORDERS FOR 3-PHASE PATTERNS
◄ YELLOW w/RED - Enable 1
◄ YELLOW w/GREEN - Enable 2
◄ YELLOW w/BLACK - Enable 3
Using this programming option you can change the order and/or replace individual colors
from the 3-Phase pattern. This can be useful if you want to utilize only one or two colors for
a particular Enable, or if you have two synchronized lights and you would like a different
color flashing on different lights.
To reprogram the Color Order assigned to each Enable, proceed as follows:
 Connect the BLACK wire to Ground.
 Connect the WHITE wire and the Enable wire that you wish to reprogram to Power.
 Hold the GREEN wire to Ground to for 3 seconds until the light flashes once then
release it. The Color Order will scroll to the next combination listed in the table to the
below.
 Repeat the process with the GREEN wire until you advance to the combination you
desire.
 Disconnect the WHITE wire
from Power after 1 second.
For 2-color Models Only:
Selecting a combination that uses
color 3 will result in an “Off” time in
the pattern.

WIRELESS PROGRAMMING (OPTIONAL)
Optionally, instead of using the wires to program this light, it can be done using most
Android based phones or tablets that have a flash. ee the app store for a list of approved
devices.
1. Download the application from the play store.
2. elect the desired options in the app.
3. Power up the light using two or more Enable lines and attach the GREEN wire to
Ground.
4. Hold the android device’s flash as close as possible to the sensor in the light (shown
below).
5. Press send and the Android device’s flash will flash for approximately 6 seconds.
6. If the programming was successful, the light will blink for about 1.5 seconds.
If it does not blink, there is an error:
 Ensure the flash of the phone is as close as possible to the location shown.
 Try blocking bright sunlight from the light.
 Try closing open apps on your device and or resetting it.
