Shop LED light bars at Truckstop Group
LED light bars have become a popular choice for commercial vehicles due to their high light output, compact design and long service life. Compared to traditional auxiliary lamps, light bars deliver a broad, uniform beam pattern that enhances visibility across wide areas or at long distances, depending on configuration.
When choosing a vehicle light bar, beam pattern is a key consideration. Spot beams are designed for long-range illumination, while flood or combination beams provide wider coverage for site work or manoeuvring. Mounting position also plays an important role, as incorrect placement can cause glare, reflections or compliance issues on the road.
Road legality should always be considered when fitting light bars to trucks. Some light bars are intended strictly for off-road or site use, while others can be integrated with main beam systems for compliant on-road operation when installed correctly. Wiring and integration are equally important, particularly on modern vehicles with CANbus-controlled electrics.
Truckstop Group supplies light bars suited to a wide range of commercial applications, supporting professional installations that prioritise safety, reliability and real-world performance.
Frequently Asked Questions
Are LED light bars legal on trucks?
Some LED light bars are legal for on-road use when installed correctly and used in line with regulations, often linked to main beam operation. Others are intended for off-road or site use only.
Where should a light bar be mounted on a truck?
Common mounting locations include the roof, grille or bumper area. Placement should ensure effective illumination without causing glare or obstructing airflow or visibility.
What beam pattern should I choose?
Spot beams suit long-distance visibility, while flood beams are better for wide-area lighting. Combination beams offer a balance of both.
Do light bars require special wiring?
Yes, light bars typically require relays, fuses and correct switching. On newer trucks, integration kits help avoid electrical faults.
Are LED light bars durable enough for heavy use?
Quality LED light bars are designed to withstand vibration, moisture and harsh conditions, making them suitable for commercial and off-road use.
