These lights use state-of-the-art Light Emitting Diode (LED) technology. This light is
comprised of ultra-bright LEDs that are operated in a multiplexed mode to efficiently
produce light output with lifetimes up to 100,000 hours. Under normal circumstances, you
will not need to replace any LEDs in this light. If any of the LEDs in your light do fail,
please contact Star Headlight for arrangements to have them repaired.
NOTE: Most failures can be traced to wiring and battery
problems. Check "quick-connects” and wiring to insure
that correct voltage/polarity is reaching the light.

Wiring Are the wires pinched or broken anywhere?
LED's appear dim
Low battery voltage
Measure while lights are on. Voltage below 10V will result in
reduced LED output.
Power wires are too
small/long

reduced LED output.
Erratic operation
Bad routing of wires Do wires run thru bare metal holes that have damaged them?
Are the power or control wires close to:
