Custer Products 52 | GoLight

CUSTER PRODUCTS COVERS YOUR LIGHTING NEEDS

Custer Products was formed in 1993. Custer’s first products were manufactured on assembly lines in North Canton, Ohio. These products included Magnetic Work Lights, Retractable Battery Jumper Cables, Trouble Lights and Magnetic Tow Lights for RVs. Custer has had many changes since the early days in the 1990s. When we started, we were manufacturing products for large retail stores. Many of the stores we manufactured for were driven out of business or merged with even larger big box stores. Custer adapted by manufacturing and private labelling products for manufacturers that wanted to add to their product line who had presence in the larger stores. In fact, today, Custer still has products that are private labelled in larger retail stores.

Another step of the evolution was to enter the towing market. We became involved in the towing market somewhere around 1995. This was one of the best decisions that we ever made. I’m sure there are some people who remember Al. Al would attend the Tow Shows and would show our latest products and look for distributors or potential distributors to sell the products. As the sales increased, we expanded our product offerings. We went from offering only a few items to offering hundreds of items. The LED Lights and Safety Strobe lights were a great addition to the product line. This allowed us to meet and talk to many towers who were interested in updating their trucks from incandescent lighting to the new LED lighting.

In 2013, we expanded the product line again by acquiring Blades Tow Right, Inc. This allowed us to expand our line of tow lights to include the larger tow bars and wireless tow lights. We spent several years updating the technology for the wireless line and are confident in or high-quality bars. Please consider a LiteIt Wireless when making your decision on a light bar. In

2018, Custer Products moved from North Canton, OH to Massillon, OH. We still do a lot of manufacturing at the Massillon facility including all of the Lite-It Wireless and magnetic tow lights.

Custer Products is most recognized as a lighting company. All of Custer’s lights are quality made to specifications that are higher than similar products. All of our lights are warrantied.

Custer Products can be found at many of your favorite towing distributors. If your distributor does not sell the Custer or Lite-It line, contact us and we will help you find the product.

Prioritize Safety & Efficiency

with Golight.

Let’s face it, the Tow industry is dangerous business. According to NIOSH, Tow professionals are more than two times as likely to be injured on the job as workers in general. That statistic is no doubt bolstered due to the proportion of tow work done at night in low light areas. In those circumstances, perfectly positioned lighting is more than a convenience; it is a tool that greatly influences on the job safety. Golight has been designing precision remote control lighting to assist the working men and women of America for nearly 30 years, and we keep getting better!

Golight, Inc. is a privately held manufacturing company nestled in the heartland of the United States. In December of 1992, the idea of the remote control spotlight was born.

After many engineering drawings, tooling refinements, and prototypes, the first Golight was available for sale in the summer of 1994. Since then, Golight has set the industry standard in remote control lighting. Our lights are in service around the world, lighting the way for everything from military vehicles in theater to snow plows in Alaska and everywhere in between.

In the past 28 years, there have been numerous upgrades to our original product line. Each update incorporates the latest technology to bring our customers the best possible product. Our commitment to quality and durability can be found in every detail of our lights. We take great pride in the industries we serve and the products we provide. 2022 is bringing some bright new changes to Golight with the introduction of the all new Wired Stryker ST. It incorporates all of the features of our Wireless remote ST units, but in a hard wired platform. • The Stryker ST stems from the original Stryker product line. It features

• Multiple Unit Selector Function - Allows for control of 2 units with 1 remote, either independently or in tandem • Home Position Function - On-Command return to 0° home • New Control Technology Benefits - Simultaneous

Pan + Tilt – no opportunity for wireless interference • Backlit remote buttons • 2 speed rotation and tilt—fast for quick scanning, slow for precise control. • UV and Saltwater Resistance • Stainless Steel Mounting Bracket • 5 year warranty. • Optional flood lens for wide area coverage.

The Stryker ST Series are available in LED or Halogen with our LED units now providing 32% more power boasting 544,000 Candela with a Max Beam Distance of 4,839 ft. They are both available in Wireless or Hard-Wired remote configurations and Permanent Mount or Portable Magnetic Mounting with 135° x 370° directional tilt and rotation.

Don’t take our word for it, here’s what tow operators are saying. Golight Ambassador Kevin Martinez said “After a year using the Golight GT SERIES light on my wrecker, it made life so much easier. This light has come in handy looking for disabled motorists in dark areas and bad weather to providing extra scene lighting on recovery. I, 100% recommend Golight to anyone looking for a light to help in the towing and recovery industry.”

James E. Lewis, a veteran to the tow industry, said that “The remotes were big enough and the buttons were manageable enough to where I didn’t have to take off my gloves to use them. That was a blessing in 16-degee weather and blowing snow.” He went on to say “I lost count of the number of times I reached into my pocket, paired the pair of lights together, and moved them in tandem to focus more of that radical lighting on our work scene… Even though it was 2 am we lit the place up like a football stadium… No slacking the lines to reposition the truck, no running up and down a 60-degree hill in a foot of snow. With the winch remotes on the tow units and the wireless remotes for the lights, we could get a safe distance away from our recovery trucks and the unit being recovered and make all the magic happen.”
