Driving in poor weather or going off road can be risky because of low visibility. Fortunately, high-quality light bars can illuminate the space in front of—and around—you and cut through fog, mist, rain, snow, and other weather conditions to enhance your ability to safely see where you’re going.

There are multiple types of light bars to choose from, ones with different beam patterns, outputs, and more. This guide will offer information about each of them so you can make the smart choice for your specific needs.

Benefits of LED Light Bars

There are several reasons why LED bars are more advantageous than ones using halogen lighting or high-intensity discharge (HID) lighting. They include the following:

• Lifespan: They can last, on average, for 40,000 hours—which may be beyond the remaining time you’ll have your vehicle.
• Durability: They aren’t easily damaged on impact and aren’t usually affected by vehicle vibrations, which means they can handle off-road bumpiness.
• Efficiency: They’re ultra-efficient, using about a tenth of the wattage of a halogen bulb and about half of a similar HID bulb.
• Lightweight: They add very little weight to your vehicle and take up only a small amount of space.
• Flexibility: You can choose light bars with LED bulbs in a variety of styles, shapes, and sizes. These include straight light bar and curved light bar options, colored light bars, and more.
• More Environmentally Friendly: These lights are not made from mercury.

As you look at LED bar options for your vehicle, note how lighting can be designated as spot, flood, or combo. Here’s more about what that means:

• Spot lights: These have a narrow beam that can go long distances.
• Flood lights: These have a wide beam that won’t have the distance of a spot beam.
• Combo lights: These models combine the technologies of spot and flood lights, which combines lights with distance ability (usually in the center of the LED bar) and wide-range capabilities (usually on the ends of the light bar).

In general, white or clear bulbs can provide the brightest lighting while amber-hued “fog lights” can cut through rain, snow, dust, and fog more effectively.

Enthuze light bars are weatherproof and corrosion-resistant, operating well in the toughest weather conditions. Here’s more about the LED bars that are available by Enthuze.

Straight LED Light Bars

A key benefit of a straight LED light bar is how it directs the illumination towards one single point. Although you’ll have a smaller range of view, overall, the concentrated light will provide maximum illumination for the targeted area—so, if you’d like to see further ahead, a straight bar is better than a curved one.

Enthuze offers a wide range of lengths, from eight to fifty inches, in styles that include ultra spot lamps; ultra flood/spot combination lamps; and double row lamps. For example, one option is the 32” Ultra Flood/Spot Combination LED Lamp with peak beam intensity of 447500 cd and optimal penetration up to 4,380 feet.

Curved LED Light Bars

The main benefit of the curved LED light bar is the opposite of the straight version. The curved bar will disperse the illumination provided across the widest range (rather than a highly concentrated smaller area). These can be a better choice if you enjoy going off-road because the wider illumination can warn you of trail obstacles more quickly.

This style also comes in a range of lengths, from twenty-two to fifty inches, including the 50" Curved Ultra Flood/Spot Combination LED Lamp. This comes with peak beam intensity of 180000 cd and optimal penetration of up to 2,780 feet.

Multi-Color LED Light Bars

You can also choose a color changing LED light bar that offers up combinations of light patterns and color combos, which adds variety and interest to the light being emitted. Lengths range from eight to thirty-two inches in a double row, such as the 22” Multicolor LED Double Row Lamp.
