XKGLOW XK-NS Nite Stix Overhead LED Work Light
Mounting Instructions
-
Test all components before mounting: As shown below, connect ALL light units together and connect them to the switch wiring harness. Connect the RED battery terminal to the POSITIVE pole of 12V DC power supply.
Connect the BLACK battery terminal to the NEGATIVE pole. Power on the switch to test the lights. If the lights show any defects, please contact us and we will be happy to replace them for you.
-
Choose mounting location: Determine desired mounting location for NiteStix base. The base must be mounted to a perfectly flat surface approximately 24 inches in length. Clean mounting location so that it is free from dust and debris.
-
Mount NiteStix Base: Open the NiteStix base to about 90 degrees. Hold the NiteStix base up against the desired mounting surface and slide into the correct position. Locate the two mounting holes on the back surface of the base.
Utilizing the included self-tapping screws, secure the NiteStix base to the surface. Ensure that the base is straight and that the wiring is free and clear before tightening the screws
-
Route Wiring: Next, route the power wire from the NiteStix base. First, move the wiring out of the way to make room for drilling a hole. Using a ¼ inch drill bit, mark and drill a hole as shown below. Check behind the surface before drilling to make sure nothing can get damaged. Once the hole is drilled, feed the wiring through. Seal both the inside and the outside with RTV silicone (not included) to keep water out.
-
Install Switch: Install the switch in a dry and convenient location using the provided double sided tape. Clean mounting surface with rubbing alcohol to remove any dust or debris for proper adhesion. Following the diagram on Page 2, connect the RED wire from the NiteStix base to the BLUE wire on the switch using the provided butt connectors. Connect the RED wire from the switch to the included in-line fuse. Then, connect the other end of the in-line fuse to positive 12V. Last, connect the BLACK wire from the NiteStix base AND the switch to the ground of your power supply. If you purchased our optional 110V power supply, connect the in-line fuse to the POSITIVE terminal and connect the BLACK wire from the NiteStix base to the NEGATIVE terminal.
To use the included butt connectors, strip back about 3/8 inch of each wire. Slide one wire in each end of the connectors until the bare wires press together. Using a heat gun, heat the center section of the connector until the solder (silver) and sealant (blue) melt in place. This creates a strong and waterproof connection. Repeat for each wire connection.
Angle Adjustment
To adjust the angle of the NiteStix upward, simply open the light and lift it
into place. The adjustment tab will lock into each adjustment notch as you
move it upward. The adjustment notches allow for flexible and quick
adjustments for different applications. To move the light downward or to close
it, pull outward on the bottom of the adjustment tab WHILE securing the weight
of the light with your other hand. Failure to do this may cause the light to
fall quickly damaging the light or causing harm to you or someone else.
Expanding Instructions
If you purchased the Advanced or Pro NiteStix Kit, the 2ft lighted base is
expandable via quick snap connections. First, you will need to remove the
black rubber end cap from the NiteStix base. Next, take the 3ft NiteStix
extension and snap it into place. You may need to press down the quick snap
pin on the base to get the extension to slide on. Push until the quick snap
pin on the base snaps into the hole on the extension. If you have the Pro Kit,
repeat the steps with the second 3ft extension. Finally, reinstall the black
rubber end cap at the end of the NiteStix for a weather tight seal. Then lift
the light to your desired angle.
Storing NiteStix
When it’s time to put NiteStix away, follow the Expanding Instructions in
reverse order. Adjust the light angle down, remove the rubber cap from the
end, and remove each 3ft extension by pressing down on the quick snap pin and
pulling
away from the base. Reinstall the black rubber end cap onto the NiteStix base
for a watertight seal and close the light.
Ensure that the light is fully closed against the magnet before moving the trailer or vehicle on which it is mounted.
