How to Choose the Right Light Bar
Â
Now that you know where to put 'em, how do you pick the right light bars? Here's what to look for:
Â
- Brightness: More lumens mean more light. RLB's light bars range from 3,400 to over 25,000 lumens.
- Beam Pattern: Spot beams for distance, flood beams for width, or combo beams for the best of both worlds.
- Color Temperature: Cool white (6000K) is great for clarity, while amber cuts through fog and dust.
- Durability: Look for high IP ratings (like IP67 or IP68) for water and dust resistance.
Â
RLB's light bars tick all these boxes and more. They're built tough for off-road use and backed by a solid warranty.
Â
