Description

Diode Dynamics SS5 CrossLink 5-Pod 31.5-Inch Stage Series LED Light Bar (Single)

The Diode Dynamics SS5 CrossLink 5-Pod 31.5-inch LED Light Bar delivers uncompromising performance by combining five premium Stage Series SS5 LED Pods into one ultra-rigid modular light bar using Diode Dynamics’ innovative CrossLink™ mounting system. Designed for serious off-road enthusiasts, overlanders, race vehicles, and work trucks, this high-output light bar provides exceptional long-range visibility, customizable beam patterns, and premium styling with a fully illuminated selectable backlight.

Built around patented Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optics, the SS5 CrossLink captures nearly all available light and focuses it precisely where it’s needed, producing significantly greater intensity with less glare than traditional reflector-style LED light bars. Available in 6000K Cool White or 3000K Selective Yellow, and in Sport or Pro power levels, the SS5 CrossLink offers outstanding performance for everything from trail riding to high-speed desert driving.

The patent-pending CrossLink™ system allows you to link up to eight SS5 LED Pods together using precision CNC-machined aluminum connectors, making it easy to create straight or curved light bar configurations that can grow with your build.

Proudly assembled in the USA and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, the SS5 CrossLink 5-Pod Light Bar is engineered for drivers who demand industry-leading performance, durability, and flexibility.
