The complete guide to choosing a Lazer Linear light bar
A 48-inch light bar and a 6-inch light bar solve completely different problems, and the mistake buyers make with Linear is sizing on budget or looks rather than the mounting space and beam width the application actually needs. The Linear range runs from the 2,250-lumen Linear-6 up to the 34,800-lumen Linear-48 Elite, and picking the wrong end of that range either leaves a working vehicle underlit or wastes money on more bar than the roofline or grille can sensibly carry. The mid-range Linear-18 and Linear-24 cover most standard grille and roof-bar installations, while the smaller Linear-6 suits tighter mounting positions such as A-bars.
The low cross-section design is what separates Linear from a generic aftermarket bar. A slim profile reduces wind noise and drag at speed, which matters on vehicles that spend real time at motorway speeds rather than just crawling around a yard, and Lazer achieves this without dropping the advanced 3W LEDs and vacuum-metallised optics used across the rest of the range. Elite+ variants go further, adding switchable Boost, Combo and Snow/Fog/Dust modes, plus an E-Mark compliant low-output mode for road use where full output would exceed regulations. The top-spec Linear-18 Elite also carries Lazer's i-LBA Intelligent Low Beam Assist, dipping automatically when it detects oncoming traffic.
Road approval status varies across the range, so check the specific model before assuming a Linear bar can run alongside your vehicle's main beam on public roads. For HGVs and other 24V platforms, confirm voltage compatibility on the listing before ordering. If you need a rounder housing instead of a bar, the Sentinel range or the full Lazer Lamps collection cover the alternative formats and the integration kits to wire them in.

Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Lazer Linear range come in?
Linear spans from the compact 6-inch Linear-6 at 2,250 lumens up to the 48-inch Linear-48 Elite at 34,800 lumens, with multiple sizes in between including 12, 18, 24, 36 and 42-inch variants. Choosing the right size depends on your available mounting space and the beam width your application needs.
What is i-LBA on the Linear-18 Elite?
i-LBA stands for Intelligent Low Beam Assist. It uses onboard sensors to detect oncoming vehicles and automatically dips the beam to avoid dazzling other drivers, then restores full output once the road is clear. It's currently available on the Linear-18 Elite and the Triple-R 1000 and 1250 Elite-ILBA models.
Are Lazer Linear light bars road legal in the UK?
Road approval varies by model. Units carrying UNECE Reg 112 or Reg 149 approval markings are road legal when wired to the vehicle's high beam or side light circuit; others are for off-road or static use only. Check the specific product listing for its approval status before fitting.
Do Linear light bars come in 24V for HGV use?
Most Linear work lamps and light bars are available in variants suited to both 12V and 24V electrical systems. Confirm the voltage of the specific product before ordering, since most heavy commercial vehicles run 24V systems.
What does the Elite+ Combo mode do?
Combo mode on Elite+ variants combines the white LEDs with amber LEDs for a mixed beam that improves visibility in poor conditions such as snow, fog or dust, compared with running white LEDs alone, which can reflect back off airborne particles and reduce visibility.
