Ok
1. simply hook up a 3-wire from a digital output to the spike.
2. supply 12 volts battery to the inputs of the spike.
3. Wire one side of the 12-volt light to the negative side of the battery.
4. wire the other side of the light to the M- terminal on the spike.
5. changing the digital output with software should make the light turn off and on.

(It might be the M+ terminal in step-4. I always seem to get a 50-50 decision wrong!)
