Auxiliary Lights for Off-Road Vehicles
Auxiliary lights are an important safety accessory for any off-road vehicle. They help you see dips, rocks, wildlife and other obstacles before they become a problem.
The automotive aftermarket is flooded with LED lights for off road trucks, Jeeps, SUV’s, four wheelers, and more. RealTruck carries a wide variety of off road light bars, cubes and pods in different wattages, outputs and beam patterns to fit your needs.
Customization
Whether you are navigating curvy roads in an off-road vehicle or rock climbing, the proper lighting makes all the difference. While stock lights are adequate for paved highways, they simply led flood lights don’t cut it on rough terrain. Fortunately, there are a number of different customization options to improve visibility on any trail.
Fog lights – also known as floodlights – are ideal for lower visibility conditions. Typically embedded in the front bumper of your truck, these lights provide a wide range of illumination around your vehicle. Driving lights serve as a middle ground between fog and spotlights, providing a dimmer beam with a broader range of coverage.
Spotlights deliver a focused beam of light that can be directed anywhere needed on the trail. These lights are a common upgrade for off-road trucks. They come in a variety of lengths and form factors, allowing you to choose a model that is perfect for your specific needs. Many of these lights come with a switch, making it easy to turn them on and off as necessary.
Beam Patterns
There are a variety of different beam patterns available for off road lights. The pattern you choose depends on the type of environment and application where your vehicle will be used, as well as your level of expertise with installation and wiring.
Flood lights offer a wide, evenly dispersed light pattern perfect for work and illuminating the immediate area around your vehicle. These are great for hood range mounts, front areas of roof racks or in-stock bumpers on your off-road vehicle. Spot lights offer a narrower, more focused beam that can reach further distances but sacrifices side illumination. They are ideal for illuminating obstacles on the trail, but they’re also right at home as a cab marker light or as part of a spot and flood combination.
Our Stage Series LED Light Bars are available in the SAE driving pattern, fog pattern, or a combo pattern that combines two of these pattern spreads. The driving pattern is optimized for use at driving speeds and meets all requirements for DOT road legal lighting when mounted properly.
Color Temperatures
Having quality off road lights on your truck, Jeep, SUV or ATV is key to conquering dark and treacherous environments. Premium lights turn night into day, allowing you to see obstacles, terrain and more with ease. They inspire confidence behind the wheel and can illuminate treacherous conditions, providing visibility for repairs or recovery, signaling for help or just illuminating tight trails.
White lights are typically recommended for off-road use, with a color temperature between 5000K and 6000K being the ideal choice as it best resembles natural sunlight. Lower color temperatures tend to appear yellow or amber, while higher colors are more blue/violet and can be less helpful in dark or inclement weather as they cause more light refraction from airborne particles.
Lights that feature a Wide-40 beam are great for off-road use, as they offer an increased range of brightness and distance compared to fog lights but do not require street legal requirements. They are the perfect compromise between a fog and driving beam light. Many of these lights also have a clear lens to allow you to customize your lighting setup.
