Yes, the spotlight may be used with either charger plugged in. However, the charging function will stop until the On/Off trigger is released and the trigger lock is disengaged.

How do I replace the halogen bulb?

To replace the bulb, you need a small Phillips screwdriver and a 6V, H3 55W replacement bulb. Push the rubber bezel forward, remove two screws, lift off the retaining ring, glass lens, and O-ring. Carefully remove the reflector, disconnect the bulb wire, unsnap hairpin wires, loosen retaining screw, remove old bulb, insert new bulb (avoid touching glass), reassemble in reverse order.

What type of charger is included?

The package includes a 120V AC charger (UL Listed Class 2, 12V DC, 500mA). An optional 12V DC charger for vehicle use is available separately.

How do I lock the trigger in the on position?
