In response to consumer demand, Golight inc., the leader in remote control searchlights, has announced the introduction of the High Intensity Discharge (HID) Stryker. The new HID Stryker offers Golight users tremendous intensity with minimal strain on the vehicle’s electrical system.
By comparison, the HID upgrade more than triples the light output of its incandescent counterpart. Renowned for its beam precision, Golight has been able to generate a peak beam intensity of 650,000 candela by incorporating an internally ballasted HID bulb and updated reflector into the Stryker remote control light housing and achieve a maximum beam distance of over one mile. Besides increased intensity, the HID system emits light at significantly greater color temperature—4100 k— which creates a “whiter” light, comparable to daylight.
The HID technology utilized in the new Stryker model generates almost twice as many lumens per watt as a traditional halogen light source. Therefore, the HID Stryker can generate a tremendous light profile while reducing the strain on the power source. After an initial startup surge, the HID Stryker requires only 3 amps for continuous operation. The unit reaches peak output in less than 10 seconds and reaches 70% capacity in just 4 seconds. The filament free bulb also has durability advantages, with a rated life of greater than 3000 hours.
The HID Stryker is perfect for anyone seeking Golight’s revolutionary remote technology and the utmost in lighting intensity. The HID Stryker is available through any Golight dealer. Factory installed upgrade kits are available for use with existing Stryker models as well.

Spotlight on Golight: A Pat On The Back
by admin on April 29, 2010
We don’t want to go around patting ourselves on the back, but we sure don’t mind if others do! The following is a letter that was received by one of our associates, Shawna.
…
Shawna,
I am sending you the light I called about.
This light was received as a gift approximately 10 years ago and rode on top of my patrol car (I was a State Trooper for 33 years). Afterward it rode on my truck (I am now a ranger with the Yazoo Ms Delta Levee Board). Last Sunday (3/28/10), while responding to a call, and running about 80 into a 20 MPH head wind, I met an 18 wheeler probably going just as fast the other way.
It could have been because one of the magnets came loose due to weather exposure, or it could have not been setting flush because of the ribbed roof… who knows.
But to my surprise it came loose, first striking the bar light, then flying over the left fender and striking the black top.
The power cord held the light as it bounced down the road at 80 mph. It probably took me a 100 yd or so to stop. To my surprise, it was still hooked up and just bouncing along.
I picked it up and put it in my truck. The lens was gone, the handle was gone, a large chunk was missing from the right front of the light. I, of course, figured it was a total loss but surprised it didn’t look any worse. So I decided to check if it still worked.
Was I surprised when I pressed the ON button on the remote and the light came on, then more so when I saw all features work. Other than the lens, handle and a chunk out of the housing, it worked like a charm.
Thanks for making a product that does what it said it would do, plus well beyond what anyone could ever expect.
I have purchased several of your lights in the past for my department and will continue to buy more in the future.
Again thanks for such a great product.

We were so smitten with Bobby”s kind words that we were inclined to send him a reconditioned unit to replace his original.
