Your pick:Set white or red as the start-up color. Press power and it comes on in that color every time.
Bright, not blinding
Every Kingpin light has a thick, diffused lens. It spreads the light out into one smooth, even glow, and protects the light from hard knocks.
- No bright hot spots. The whole bar glows evenly.
- No harsh glare, so it's comfortable to look at, even up close.
- Soft, even light on your gear, with fewer hard shadows.
“I hunt at night a lot and the red light is bright enough to get everything I need without blowing my night vision.”
“Love the lights. Went with 3 F-series 40” lights, rear hatch light on F-series search mounts, all on dimmer switches. Lights up the shell, & beyond when needed. Very happy.”
“Good quality, good light, dimmable-worth the money. Easy to install.”

Good questions, short answers
Up to 2× 40", 4× 28" or 8× 12" lights per switch. Each switch handles 3 amps, so add up the amps: F-40 is 1.1, F-28 is 0.7, F-12 is 0.3.
Yes. Kingpin lights are a universal fit, and they mount inside or outside (weatherproof, IP54). Each one comes with 3M VHB tape and screws. Measure the spot first. F-Series lights are true to length: the 40" light is 40" from end to end. The screw holes sit about ¼" to ⅜" in from each end. On Search Mounts, each bracket is 4" long, and the light is about 1" longer and 1.375" tall.
No. A thick, diffused lens spreads the light evenly, so there are no bright hot spots and no harsh glare. It's easy to work under and easy to be around at camp.
It's very efficient: 1.1 amps at full brightness. Run it for hours off your starting battery and still start up and leave.
Yes. It's weatherproof (IP54): dust-protected and splash-proof from any direction. Don't submerge it.
The light comes with 3M VHB tape and screws, so you can use either one. Search Mounts (360° rotation) are sold separately. Add them above, or get the F-Series 40" Light Kit.
No. Tape and screws come in the box. The 3M VHB tape holds on glass, topper doors and smooth panels if you prep the spot: clean it, scuff it lightly, wipe it with rubbing alcohol, then wipe on 3M Primer 94. Most toppers also have a reinforced ceiling for mounting lights. Carpet-lined caps have plywood under the carpet, so use the screws there.
No. On F-Series lights, color is set on the light. Turn the light on and pick white or red with its buttons. The dimmer then turns it on, off and dims it in that color. To switch colors, press the button on the light.
Any 12V DC source works, like a power station's 12V outlet. Most USB ports are 5V, so they won't run the light. Some higher-power USB ports may work, but we don't recommend it.
