Wiring Instructions for QH16CTS Optronics Halogen Utility Lamp
Published 11/06/2019
Question:
Hello- Do you have installation instructions you could provide for this light? I ordered the light with next-day delivery. I am replacing the same unit on my 2012 Merhow Horse trailer. THanks

Due to the multitude of installation possibilities, Optronics doesn't provide installation instructions for their # QH16CTS Halogen Utility Light. This being said, I'd be happy to explain the electrical connections for you.
The red power wire would attach to a 12-volt power source, and the lamp picks up its ground connection via it's attachment to metal that's in contact with the vehicle frame. If the lamp is mounted to a non metal surface, a ground jumper would need to be ran from the mount to the vehicle frame. You can add a switch to the circuit using part # 37212225 by installing the switch inline on the power supply circuit.
