2020 LED LIGHTING GUIDE Give your off-road vehicle a brighter future with a variety of the latest in LED lighting technology By Mike Vieria Off-road lighting is a key element on any vehicle, but deciding which light to use and where to place it can be confusing. With so many sizes and specific purposes for adding lights to any four and two-wheeled off-road vehicle, we asked various lighting manufacturers to showcase their latest designs and what areas or zones they illuminate. We’ve helped make the decision process easier by categorizing them into the various types of lights that can help you decide on what might work best on your truck, SUV, motorcycle or UTV. Perhaps one of the most popular sets of lights for any four-wheeled off-road vehicle is a light bar. These single or double rows of LED lights come in a variety of lengths and can fit on the roof-line, front bumper or anywhere forward facing on the vehicle. Light bars improve forward vision but the latest designs can include spot and wide angle illumination. RIGID INDUSTRIES www.rigidindustries.com ADAPT MULTI-FUNCTION LED LIGHT BAR The Adapt LED Light Bar can change beam patterns instantly according to conditions using patented Active View LED Technology to offer 8 selectable options, ranging from a 90-degree short distance beam to a tightly focused 15-degree long distance spot beam, which automatically changes with vehicle speed, or by the driver. Additionally, Adapt bars have built-in accent lighting that can be set to any color. Available in 10”, 30”, 40”, and 50” lengths. MSRP for a 20-inch bar is $1469.99.
