The complete guide to choosing a Lazer Carbon Series driving light
Weight matters more in motorsport than almost any other vehicle application, and it's the reason the Lazer Carbon Series exists. A standard aluminium-bodied driving light adds mass exactly where a competition vehicle can least afford it, at the front, and the Carbon Series addresses this with a housing built from PC-ABS composite material rather than metal, cutting weight without giving up the build standard Lazer applies across the rest of its range.
The range scales by LED count rather than a single fixed size: Carbon-2 at 3,120 lumens, Carbon-4 at 6,240 lumens, and Carbon-6 at 7,884 lumens, each available in Drive or Spot beam optics depending on whether you need a wider spread or a longer, more concentrated throw. The Carbon-2 is also available in a yellow dip beam option, useful in snow, fog or dust where a white beam can scatter back and reduce visibility rather than improve it. Multiple lighting modes, including High Beam, Dip Beam and combined High and Low Output, are achieved through the same dual-output functionality found on Lazer's Triple-R range, switched via a momentary or latching switch.
Every unit ships with a built-in DT04-4P Deutsch connector for a secure, weatherproof electrical connection, and mounting uses aluminium side brackets with front-fix or side-fix options depending on the model. If you're building a rally car specifically, Lazer also produces dedicated 4-lamp rally pods pre-configured for the Carbon-6, and the full Lazer Lamps collection covers the wider range if Carbon's output doesn't suit your build.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Lazer Carbon Series different from other Lazer driving lights?
The Carbon Series uses a housing built from PC-ABS composite material rather than the aluminium used across most of the Lazer range, significantly reducing weight. This makes it suited to motorsport applications where every kilogram at the front of the vehicle affects handling and performance.
What is the difference between Carbon-2, Carbon-4 and Carbon-6?
The numbers refer to the LED count and correspond to output: Carbon-2 produces 3,120 lumens, Carbon-4 produces 6,240 lumens, and Carbon-6 produces 7,884 lumens. Each is available in Drive or Spot beam optics, so the choice depends on both the output level and beam pattern your application needs.
Is the Lazer Carbon Series road legal in the UK?
The Carbon Series carries UNECE Reg 112/149 road-legal certification, obtained through dual-output functionality that allows the light to switch from off-road to road-legal dip beam via a momentary or latching switch. Check the specific product listing to confirm the approval applies to your chosen configuration.
What is the yellow dip beam option on the Carbon-2?
The Carbon-2 Drive and Carbon-2 Spot are available with a yellow dip beam, which reduces the backscatter that a white beam produces in snow, fog or dust. This is a dip-mode-only feature and doesn't apply to the light's high beam output.
Are vehicle-specific mounting kits available for the Carbon Series?
Carbon Series lights use aluminium side brackets, available in front-fix or side-fix configurations depending on the model. Lazer also produces carbon-fibre 4-lamp rally pods pre-configured for the Carbon-6 for specific rally platforms. Call our team to confirm the correct mounting option for your build.
