LED Light Bars
When you need to turn night into day off the pavement, an LED light bar is the tool. Mounted to a bumper, roof, or grille, a good bar throws serious, wide light across trails, work sites, and open ground far beyond what your headlights reach. They’re a favorite on trucks, Jeeps, UTVs, and overlanding rigs. One note up front: light bars are generally intended for off-road use — check your local laws before running one on the street. We’ve outfitted off-road lighting since 2004.
Choosing the right bar
- Beam pattern is the big decision. A spot pattern throws a tight beam far downrange — great for speed and distance. A flood pattern spreads wide for close, peripheral coverage — great for slow technical trails and work. A combo bar mixes both and is the most versatile choice for most rigs.
- Size and output. Longer bars and higher lumen counts put out more light; match the length to where you’re mounting (a 20″ bar behind a grille, a 40–50″ across a roof).
- Build quality. Off-road is brutal — look for a solid aluminum housing, a real waterproof rating (IP67 or better), and quality diodes so it survives mud, spray, and vibration.
- Wiring. Most bars install with a relay-and-switch harness so they pull power safely from the battery and switch from inside the cab.
Every bar ships free over $75 and is backed by our warranty.
Frequently asked questions
What beam pattern should I choose: spot, flood, or combo?
Spot throws a tight beam far ahead for distance and speed. Flood spreads wide for close, technical terrain and work lighting. Combo blends both and is the most versatile for most drivers, which is why it is the popular default.
What size light bar do I need?
Match the length to your mount and goal. A 20-inch bar fits behind many grilles or on a bumper; 40 to 50 inches spans a roof for maximum spread. Longer bars and higher lumens mean more light, so balance output against your mounting space.
Are LED light bars street legal?
Generally they are intended for off-road use, and rules vary by state and country. Many drivers keep them covered or wired to only run off-highway. Check your local laws before using a light bar on public roads.
How do I wire a light bar?
Most bars use a relay-and-switch harness: the relay pulls power directly from the battery, and a switch inside the cab controls the bar. This protects your wiring and gives you clean on/off control. Kits typically include the harness.
Are LED light bars waterproof?
Quality bars are sealed and rated for it. Look for an IP67 (or higher) rating, which means the housing withstands dust and temporary submersion, along with a solid aluminum body to handle vibration and impacts off-road.
