Bike & Vehicle Lights
Impact Guns carries high-output LED light bars built for off-road vehicles, UTVs, and trucks. A quality light bar turns a pitch-black trail or job site into a well-lit one, and choosing the right lumen output and mounting position makes the difference between a light that actually helps and one that just blinds oncoming traffic.

LED Light Bars: Output and Beam Pattern
Light bars are rated by total lumen output and beam pattern — spot beams throw light far down a trail, flood beams light up a wide area close to the vehicle, and combo bars mix both in one housing. Higher lumen counts help on fast trail runs at night; a wide flood pattern matters more for slow-speed work like camp setup or job sites.
Side-Mount vs. Roof-Mount Placement
A side-mounted bar (like a fender or A-pillar mount) adds close-in visibility and is easier to aim manually, while roof-mounted bars throw light farther down the trail. Many builds run both — a forward-throw roof bar for speed and a side-mounted bar for turns and obstacles.
Choosing the Right Lumen Output
More lumens isn’t automatically better — a bar with far more output than you need mostly just increases glare and current draw. Match output to your use: technical trail riding benefits from a tightly focused high-lumen spot, while general visibility around camp or a job site is better served by a lower-output flood pattern.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many lumens do I need for an off-road light bar?
For most UTV and truck use, 3,000–9,000 lumens covers everything from casual trail riding to fast night runs. Go higher only if you regularly run technical trails at speed after dark.
Where should I mount a light bar on my UTV or truck?
Roof mounts throw light farthest down the trail; side or fender mounts add close-in visibility for turns and obstacles. Many builds combine both for full coverage.
Are LED light bars legal for on-road use?
Most high-output light bars are legal for off-road use only. Check your state’s vehicle lighting laws before running one on public roads — many states restrict auxiliary lighting brightness, color, and use on paved roads.
