LED light bars for trucks

ECE approvals published for every bar - including R148 and R149

Auxiliary driving lights are regulated products, and the approval marking matters when your lights are checked. That's why every Strands product page lists its exact ECE approvals - from R10 (electromagnetic compatibility) to R112 and the newer R148/R149 regulations that have taken over new light-approvals in Europe. You'll also find the reference number for each bar, which you need when calculating your vehicle's combined high-beam total: under UNECE rules the sum is capped at 100. Check the specs, add it up, and you know where you stand before you buy.

Curved, Straight, and Vehicle-Specific Light Bars

Straight led light bars are the universal choice - these lights are available in every size from 8 to 50 inches, compatible with the widest range of mounting options, and straightforward to install. Most road led light bars are straight, and these lights suit the majority of truck and off road applications without modification.

Curved lights follow the contour of a roof or bumper for cleaner visual integration and a slightly wider peripheral spread. For truck owners who value aesthetics alongside performance, curved lights integrate better with a vehicle's body lines and complement the vehicle's overall appearance.

Xperience mode and E-mode - output and compliance in one bar

Siberia XP series bars run in two modes: Xperience mode, with maximum output for use away from public roads, and E-mode, which keeps the light within its E-approval. One installation, two ways to use it - you don't have to pick between brightness and staying compliant.

True 12/24V multi-voltage - made for truck electrics

A 12V-only bar connected to a truck's 24V system won't survive. Strands LED bars accept a wide input range - 10–32V DC as standard, with selected models rated 10–36V or 10–48V - so the same bar works on a car, a van or a 24V tractor unit. Larger models have a built-in relay, and Deutsch DT connectors make installation plug-and-play instead of a wiring project.

What to Look for in a LED Light Bar

The best led light bar is the one matched to your use case — not just the light bars with the biggest lumen claim on the label. Beam patterns, construction quality, mounting options, and electrical compatibility all determine whether lights perform when it matters most.

Light Output: Lumens vs. Wattage

Lumens measure the actual light output - usable, real-world illumination you can count on to light the path ahead. Wattage measures power consumption, not how efficiently light bars convert that power into brightness. The highest quality led light bars publish verified lumen output alongside 1-lux distance, beam angle, and color temperature, so you can compare these light bars like for like.

Strands publishes measured lumens, 1-lux distance, beam angle, and color temperature for every led light bar in the range - the data you need to compare lights honestly. Cool white color temperature (5,500–6,000K) produces crisp, high-contrast light that mimics natural daylight, reducing eye fatigue on night drives and improving obstacle detection on dark trails.

Position lights that give your truck a face

The signature Strands look: integrated position lights in yellow, white or amber, depending on model. The Siberia XP series carries the yellow signature position light, and models with the Hello function let you flash a greeting to oncoming drivers. Styling and function in the same housing.

Beam data you can verify - not just big lumen claims

Raw lumen figures say little about where the light actually lands. We publish measured lumen output, 1 lux distance, beam angle and colour temperature for every bar, so you can compare like for like. Choose straight or curved, single or double row, in sizes from 8″ to 50″ - and judge us on the numbers.

Compact Trucks, UTVs, and ATVs

For compact off road vehicles, 6–20 inch single row lights or light pods provide solid lumens within a manageable footprint. A led work light bar in this size range works well where full-size light bars won't fit, and compact light bars can be mounted in combination to cover the full vehicle width. These lights double as practical work lights for ATVs and utility vehicles where a slim profile is essential.

Mid-Size Trucks and Off-Road Vehicles

Mid-size trucks benefit most from 20–30 inch led light bars. A double-row combo in this size covers the lighting needs for high-speed trail use without major electrical upgrades. Off road light bars in this class are versatile work lights for operators across mixed environments, and a led work light bar in the 20–30 inch range is among the best led light bar options for most truck owners.

Heavy-Duty Trucks and Emergency Vehicles

For heavy-duty trucks and emergency vehicles, 40–60 inch lights provide the maximum coverage that large vehicles require. Emergency light bars built for emergency use must handle extended runtime and high-vibration conditions across long operational hours. Work lights in this class serve construction equipment, agricultural trucks, and mining vehicles wherever these lights need to cover the widest possible area.

A led work light bar in this range suits any large work vehicle. A relay harness and dedicated circuit at this light bar size manage the electrical load, keeping these lights efficient over time.

Built for northern winters

Strands bars are developed in Sweden for salted roads, high vibration and hard weather. Powder-coated housings protect against corrosion and rough use, and every product is rigorously tested - from light output to lens, housing and installation. That's why the warranty is 3 or 5 years, stated on each product page.

FAQ

Are Strands light bars E-approved?

Approvals vary by model and mode: each product page lists its exact ECE approvals (for example R10, R112, R148, R149), and Siberia XP bars include a dedicated E-mode. Always check the approval data on the product page for your specific bar and size.

Can I run a 12V light bar on my 24V truck?

Not a 12V-only bar. Strands bars accept 10–32V DC or wider, so the same bar works on 12V and 24V systems alike.

What do the reference numbers mean?

Every approved driving light carries a reference number indicating its intensity. Under UNECE rules, the combined reference value of a vehicle's high beams may not exceed 100 - the per-product figures on our spec sheets let you do that maths before buying.
