Description
Diode Dynamics SS5 CrossLink 8-Pod 50-Inch Stage Series LED Light Bar (Single)
Maximize your off-road visibility with the Diode Dynamics SS5 CrossLink 8-Pod 50-inch LED Light Bar. Built using eight Stage Series SS5 LED Pods connected by Diode Dynamics’ innovative CrossLink™ modular mounting system, this premium light bar delivers exceptional long-range illumination, rugged durability, and customizable styling for trucks, Jeeps, SUVs, overland rigs, and race vehicles.
Engineered with patented Total Internal Reflection (TIR) optics, the SS5 CrossLink captures and projects more usable light than traditional reflector-style light bars while dramatically reducing glare. Available in 6000K Cool White or 3000K Selective Yellow, this 50-inch light bar is offered in the Sport power level (40 watts per pod), providing an excellent balance of output, efficiency, and value.
The patent-pending CrossLink™ system allows you to link up to eight SS5 LED Pods into a rigid, modular light bar using CNC-machined aluminum connectors, creating one of the most versatile and expandable lighting systems available.
Proudly assembled in the USA and backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty, the SS5 CrossLink 8-Pod LED Light Bar is built to perform in the harshest environments.
