Description

Diode Dynamics SS5 CrossLink 3-Pod 18.5-Inch Stage Series LED Light Bar (Single)

The Diode Dynamics SS5 CrossLink 3-Pod 18.5-inch LED Light Bar combines three high-performance Stage Series SS5 LED Pods into one rigid, modular light bar using Diode Dynamics’ innovative CrossLink™ mounting system. Designed for maximum output and versatility, this compact LED light bar delivers exceptional long-range illumination, customizable beam patterns, and premium styling with a fully illuminated 8-color selectable backlight.

Built around patented Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optics, the SS5 CrossLink captures nearly all available light and focuses it exactly where it’s needed, producing greater intensity with less glare than traditional reflector-style lights. Available in 6000K Cool White or 3000K Selective Yellow, and in Sport or Pro power levels, this modular light bar is ideal for trucks, Jeeps, SUVs, UTVs, overland rigs, and off-road builds.

The patent-pending CrossLink™ system allows you to link up to eight SS5 pods into straight or curved configurations using precision CNC-machined aluminum connectors, giving you the flexibility to expand your lighting system as your build evolves.

Proudly assembled in the USA and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, the SS5 CrossLink delivers premium performance, durability, and customization for serious enthusiasts.

Patented TIR Optics

Unlike traditional reflector-based LED lights, the SS5 uses patented Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optics that capture nearly all available light and direct it exactly where it’s needed.

Benefits include:

  • Higher optical efficiency
  • Reduced glare
  • Longer beam distance
  • More usable light output
  • Smooth, controlled beam pattern

The result is one of the highest-output 5-inch LED pods available, capable of projecting light nearly a mile downrange in the appropriate configuration.


Choose Your Beam Pattern

Select the beam pattern that best matches your driving style.

Driving Beam

Designed for high-speed visibility with a controlled 30° x 20° pattern that projects light far down the road without excessive foreground glare.

Ideal for:

  • Highway driving
  • Desert racing
  • Off-road trails
  • High-speed overlanding

Combo Beam

Combines Driving and Flood optics into a balanced 70° x 30° beam that delivers excellent forward distance while illuminating the surrounding terrain.

Perfect for:

  • Overlanding
  • Trail riding
  • Off-road adventures
  • General-purpose auxiliary lighting


White or Selective Yellow

Choose the output that best fits your environment.

6000K Cool White

Produces crisp, daylight-like illumination that matches most factory LED headlights and delivers outstanding nighttime visibility.

3000K Selective Yellow

Improves contrast while reducing glare in:

  • Fog
  • Rain
  • Snow
  • Dust
  • Smoke

Yellow models include a dedicated amber backlight for a clean, factory-inspired appearance.


Sport or Pro Performance

Choose the performance level that matches your needs.

  • Sport: 40 watts of total output using nine high-intensity LEDs per pod for excellent performance and value.
  • Pro: 90 watts of total output per pod for significantly increased brightness and maximum long-range performance.

Both versions utilize premium LED emitters and Diode Dynamics’ patented TIR optics for outstanding beam control.
