for the model A3100 hand-held HID search light. The mount is a streamline
design attaching to any flat surface. It comes with an optional strap to keep
the light from vibrating in rough terrain that can be attached for either right
or left handed users.
The mount is made of heavy gauge steel material and powder coated with
a low gloss black finish.
All hardware provided is either zink plated or stainless steel for durability.
As with all of our custom products, we manufactured this mount in California.

ACRO Lights® has moved the full production of the X990 and A3100
kits to its California location. The main light assembly, batteries and car
adapter will all be completely assembled in-house rather than using
sub-assemblies from our various parts manufactures. The A3100 battery
pack will continue to be assembled for us but we plan to have it moved to
the same location by the end of this year.
Our other HID and Halogen products have been assembled in this location
for several years but the hand-held models, due to the number of
components, have been assembled from sub-assemblies in the past to
save warehouse space. We feel it is better to bring this production to the
US and help keep the labor here in the states. After a year of research we
worked out making this move without any cost increase in the product.

Did you know you can order our custom filter heads for the X990, A3100
and 70 series without glass?
Many customers are not aware of this and thought it was only available with
the 850nm glass. This is not the case. The head can be ordered as a kit
and you can install any filter glass you would like. The kit comes with the
base seal installed on the main head and the seal material needed to install
your own glass.
BMR Performance, the parent company of ACRO Lights® manufactures
this filter kit at our machine shop located near our main office. We only use
the highest quality material. The current models are now hard anodized
rather than being powder coated offering a more durable finish. These kits
ship with all stainless hardware. For support with this item, please contact
ACRO Lights® directly using our “contact us” page.

Over the past several weeks we have undergone a very painful
phone system changeover.
What should have taken just a few hours has cost several days
of business. During this time we have had lines down, no voice
mail and no DSL. This has created several delays for our
customers and slowed our productivity.
We apologize for any problem this may have caused and as of
today it looks like all the issues have been corrected.
Please remember that we will get back to you ASAP
if you leave a message or e-mail us.

Voltage loss;

Voltage loss is the number one problem we discuss with our
customers.
To better understand this problem, it may help to know some
of the common causes. Some of the most common areas are;
poor quality wire, inadequate size wire for the load, poor
quality connectors, a poor connection between the wire and
the connector terminal (dirty or bad crimp), under-rated
switches or relays, bad ground and water damage to any of
the above areas.
This situation is the same for both the ground and positive
side of your wiring.
If you encounter any problem when wiring your lights,
please contact our office so we can assist you in finding
a solution.

In answer to a common question;
We are often asked for “headlight upgrade kits” We do not offer
these kits for several reasons.
HID headlight conversions are not legal for use on most highways
and bulb conversions do not perform in a safe or efficient manner.
OEM Headlight lens/reflector assemblies are designed for a
specific light source (bulb) and it is not possible to achieve the
proper results by simply installing a converted HID bulb. The bulb
may create more light but the pattern will not be correct and in many
cases be extremely unsafe for on-coming traffic.
The HID bulb can also create more heat and has proven to cause
damage to the reflector in many cases.
Several halogen bulb manufacture’s offer improved bulbs that are
DOT compliant and produce much more light than a stock bulb.
The pattern will be correct and a quality bulb should not harm the
lens or reflector.

Notice:

It was brought to our attention that a recent article in Dirt Sports Magazine
has the wrong part number listed.
The light pictured in this article is our model A1830 (driving pattern shown).
This is an all black 6 inch HID.
The part number listed in the ad, X930, is for the chrome version of the A1830.
The article also only listed 3 of the 4 patterns options.
The 30 series HID is offered in Spot, Modified, Driving and Flood.
We have notified the publishers of this magazine and apologize for any
inconvenience their errors may cause.
