Description

Diode Dynamics SS40 Dual-Color LED Light Bar | SmartSelect TIR Optics, RGB Backlight, Sport & Pro Models

 

Take your off-road lighting to the next level with the Diode Dynamics SS40 Dual-Color LED Light Bar. Engineered with patented TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optics, innovative SmartSelect™ technology, and a fully customizable RGB backlight, the SS40 delivers unmatched performance, versatility, and style. Available in Sport and Pro power levels, this premium LED light bar provides exceptional illumination for off-road adventures, overlanding, work trucks, UTVs, and high-performance builds.

Superior TIR Optics for Maximum Visibility

Unlike traditional reflector-style light bars, the SS40 uses patented TIR optics to capture and direct nearly all available LED output exactly where it’s needed. The result is a brighter, more focused beam with minimal glare, greater efficiency, and significantly improved visibility both on and off the road.

High-performance thermal management—including copper circuit boards on Pro models, premium thermal materials, and optimized aluminum heatsinks—allows the LEDs to operate at peak performance while maintaining long-term reliability.

Dual-Color Beam Patterns for Any Driving Condition

The SS40 Dual-Color Light Bar combines two optimized beam patterns into one versatile lighting system:

  • Outer Yellow Combo/Driving Optics: Wide 60° x 30° beam provides excellent foreground illumination and broad peripheral coverage while reducing glare in rain, snow, dust, and fog.
  • Inner White SAE Driving Optic: Focused 20° x 12° beam projects powerful light farther down the trail, perfectly complementing your factory high beams.

This unique combination delivers outstanding performance whether you’re crawling rocky trails, driving backroads, or covering ground at higher speeds.

SmartSelect™ Dual-Function Main Beam

Exclusive SmartSelect™ Technology gives you three lighting modes without adding extra switches, controllers, or complicated wiring.

Simply cycle power to select:

  • Inner white SAE Driving beam only
  • Outer yellow Combo/Driving beams only
  • Full light bar with all segments illuminated

This patented feature allows you to instantly adapt your lighting output to changing terrain and weather conditions with nothing more than your existing switch.

Customizable RGB Backlight with Welcome Sequence

Stand out both day and night with the integrated illuminated backlight.

The SS40 features:

  • Brilliant amber backlighting in the outer segments
  • Selectable 8-color RGBWA backlight in the center segment
  • True amber output using dedicated amber LED chips
  • Easy color selection without controllers or apps

Each time the backlight powers on (except in amber mode), the center section performs a premium animated startup sequence before illuminating fully, adding a distinctive modern appearance to your vehicle.

Choose Sport or Pro Performance

The SS40 is available in two output levels to match your needs:

  • Sport: Outstanding brightness and value for everyday off-road driving.
  • Pro: Maximum output with upgraded components for drivers demanding the highest performance available.

Both models utilize premium automotive-grade LEDs and Diode Dynamics’ advanced TIR optics for industry-leading beam control and efficiency.

Swappable Optics & Snap-On Lens Covers

Customize your lighting even further with interchangeable Stage Series optics and lens colors. Because all Stage Series light bars utilize 6000K Cool White LED emitters, switching between white and yellow optics requires only a simple lens replacement—without color inconsistency.

Protect your investment with optional Snap-On Lens Covers, available in:

  • Clear
  • Smoked
  • Yellow
  • Amber
  • Black

Installation takes just seconds with no tools required.

Built for Extreme Conditions

Designed to withstand the harshest environments, the SS40 features:

  • Heavy-duty aluminum housing
  • Durable ASTM-standard powder-coated finish
  • IP69K waterproof and dustproof construction
  • Automotive-grade LED electronics
  • Extensive SAE-standard testing for vibration, moisture, corrosion, and extreme temperatures (-40°F to 185°F)

Whether you’re tackling rugged trails, desert racing, snow-covered roads, or demanding work environments, the SS40 is built to perform.
