Are you a truck owner looking for ways to improve on-road\/off-road visibility while driving at night? An LED light bar<\/a> for trucks can make that happen! These help you prevent collisions with obstacles thanks to the spread and distance coverage. Even then, the bright, high-quality work lights can make all the difference to help keep you as safe as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So continue reading to find out more!<\/p>\n\n\n

What is the purpose of an LED light bar?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"An<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

An LED light bar improves visibility. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

An LED light bar,<\/a> which mounts on a vehicle, provides illumination at night or in poorly-lit areas. For instance, these help a driver identify dangerous obstacles on the road by emitting a bright beam of light. Truck drivers will often install this lighting fixture for off-road, on-road, or other purposes!<\/p>\n\n\n

Where should I put a light bar on my truck?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"You<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

You can mount an LED light bar in certain places on your truck. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first step involves deciding where the light bar mounts on the truck. Of course, you can install it in various places, but this depends on the light bar’s size.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rear bumper:<\/h3>\n\n\n

A rear bumper <\/a>light bar provides a clear sight for anyone reverse driving their vehicle. In this case, the backup light helps with obstacle collision prevention. Truck owners install these beside the tailgate light.<\/p>\n\n\n

Cab, Grille, and Hood:<\/h3>\n\n\n

Drivers usually choose the cab, grille<\/a>, or hood as a place to install an LED light bar. Of course, this all comes down to aesthetics, even though it minimally affects the lighting’s efficiency. Truck owners install light bars within the grille’s gaps, atop the windshield, or in the hood’s frontal area.<\/p>\n\n\n

Tailgate:<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"You<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Drivers can see your truck more clearly on the road thanks to light bars on the tailgate<\/a>. These operate at the same time as your vehicle’s brake lights. Otherwise, these may also serve as running lights for those requiring continuous stops. You can mount these over the bumper.<\/p>\n\n\n

Best LED light bar for trucks<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"These<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

These light bars can help the driver with improved visibility in low-light areas.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n

40″ Rider Series Double Row Curved CREE LED <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Overall, this LED bar is an excellent solution for navigating dark and rough terrain. The 40″ Rider Series Double Row Curved CREE LED features three sets of LEDs with its spot and flood light pattern. It emits 19,200 lumens at a far and wide distance and attaches just below the grille.<\/p>\n\n\n

20″ Jet Black Series Double Row – Street Legal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

The 20″ Jet Black Series Double Row – Street Legal light bar beams 16,800 lumens from its hooded reflectors. This makes it sufficient for poorly-lit roads.<\/p>\n\n\n

13.5″ Extreme Single Series Single Row CREE LED<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n

Even with a 5,400-lumen output rating, this LED light bar still provides illumination in harsh environments. The 13.5″ Extreme Single Series Single Row CREE LED features 3D Night Spot technology. So that means it will produce a beam of light for long and short visibility. <\/p>\n\n\n

What to Consider<\/h2>\n\n\n

You should consider a few important features when shopping for an LED light bar. These will help you determine the correct type to install. Also, take the lumens <\/a>(lm), wattage (W), lux <\/a>(lx), and candela <\/a>(cd) into account.  <\/p>\n\n\n

Size<\/h3>\n\n\n

Generally, a larger-sized LED light bar guarantees more road light production due to the higher amount of bulbs. You can purchase various sizes, ranging from 4″ to 50″.<\/p>\n\n\n

Rows<\/h3>\n\n\n
\"A<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A two-row LED light bar.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Two-row options exist on the market: single row and double row. The single row provides less light and allows you to keep a low profile when driving. Meanwhile, a double row generates even more light and has a higher price tag.<\/p>\n\n\n

Beam Patterns<\/h3>\n\n\n

LED light bar beam patterns are available in three options: a flood beam pattern, a spot beam pattern, and a combination beam pattern. In this case, flood beam patterns project a wider beam, which serves as an off-road driving solution. The spot beam pattern covers a wider region, making it suitable to utilize during on-road driving. Lastly, a combination pattern beam (combo beam lights) consists of the spot and flood pattern.<\/p>\n\n\n

How do you wire a LED light bar to a truck?<\/h2>\n\n\n
\"\nA<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A bar light on the truck’s roof.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many lighting kits have a mounting bracket for installation purposes. Follow these steps to wire a light bar to your truck:<\/p>\n\n\n

Step one:<\/h3>\n\n\n

First, you must disconnect the truck’s battery. Unhook the ground terminal’s wire before removing the wire’s positive terminal. Next, add the wiring harness inside the engine slot, hooking it up to the wiring’s direction. <\/p>\n\n\n

Step two:<\/h3>\n\n\n

Use the bracket to pre-assemble the LED light bar. Afterward, place and correctly position it atop your truck roof to determine the optimal position. You can then apply duct tape, which will serve as indicators for the bracket holes and drill holes. Refer to the light bar kit’s template for assistance.<\/p>\n\n\n

Step three:<\/h3>\n\n\n

Drill holes based on where you placed the tape. Then, install the light bar via the nuts and bolts. Properly adjust the mounting before you fully fasten the bolts. Lastly, ensure you place all the nuts and bolts in the holes before tightening each one.<\/p>\n\n\n

Step four:<\/h3>\n\n\n

Hook up the harness’ black wire with the truck’s battery (negative terminal). Link the harness’ red wire with the truck battery’s positive terminal. Push the on\/off switch button to ensure the light bar illuminates. Lastly, position the light according to your preferences.<\/p>\n\n\n

Which is better, driving lights or a light bar?<\/h2>\n\n\n

An LED light bar is a better lighting solution because it covers a longer distance and consumes less power. It also projects light at a higher brightness level, allowing drivers to navigate dim areas more easily. Therefore, these serve as a suitable option for your vehicle.<\/p>\n\n\n

Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n

You can’t go wrong with road LED light bars for trucks! This provides higher light output for better visibility so you can travel safely. Not only that, but they also come with various features to suit your needs. Plus, they consume less power than standard vehicle lights, making them far more efficient. While these come in a wide range of sizes, the 50-inch light bar is the most common choice. So be sure you choose the correct size! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
