MOUNTING INSTRUCTIONS 

Determine the location for the light on your vehicle or 
boat.    The  small  arrow  on  the  base  indicates  the 
normal  forward  direction  of  the  light.    The  light  will 
rotate to the left of this arrow approximately 185 and 
to the right approximately  185.  The beam will  angle 
down  about  45  and  angles  up  to  90.    The  location 
should  take  into  consideration  this  beam  movement 
to ensure optimum usability. 
 
Once  the  position  and  orientation  are  decided 
upon

—use  the  black  rubber  gasket  as  a  footprint  to 

mark  the  mounting  of  base  to vehicle.   Drill  1/4  inch 
hole  though  mounting  surface  in  the  middle  of  the 
footprint for passage of the power cord.  Use silicone 
sealant  to  fill  opening  around  power  cord.   
IMPORTANT:    Allow 

3”  of  cord  to  remain  under  the 

light to ensure full 370 rotation. 

 

You  should  choose  screw  or  bolt  fasteners 
appropriate  to  the  surface  to  which  you  intend  to 
attach  the  light.    If  you  intend  to  use  the  four  small 
plastic caps provided to cover the screw heads once 
installed, a #8 round head is recommended. 
 
The  black  gasket  should  be  installed  on  the  lamp 
base  prior  to  attachment  to  the  vehicle  surface.  
NOTE:    The  small  drain  hole  in  the  edge  of  the 
gasket  should  normally  face  opposite  the  forward 
direction  of  the  vehicle

—opposite  the  arrow  molded 

in  the  front  of  the  base.    Silicone  or  other  like 
sealants should not be used around the base gasket 
as it will  limit the light’s ability  to drain excess water 
properly. 
 

The  12  Volt  DC  power  wire  should  be  joined  to  the 
leads  under  the  lamp  with  appropriate  automotive 
wire  attachments.    It  is  critical  that  polarity  be 
observed.    Connect  vehicle  positive  (+)  to  spotlight 
positive  (+)  wire.  Connect  vehicle  ground  (-)  to 
spotlight  ground  (-)  wire.    Power  should  be  fused  at 
10 Amps and be on a dedicated circuit, or wired to an 
appropriate automotive relay system. 

PROGRAMMABLE REMOTE INSTRUCTIONS 

The GL-3100 is controlled with a programmable 
remote with 2187 different channels.  This feature 
allows you the freedom to change the channel 
selection, and the receiver relearns the new 
selection. 

PROGRAMMING THE TRANSMITTER. 

This light has been pre-programmed at the factory, it 
is not  necessary to re-program the transmitter, but is 
recommended.

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 A23 12V batteries. Be sure batteries 
have adequate charge. 

5.
