“We have been using the 40" light bar on the rear panel of our GFC camper now for several months. Its definitely one of those small upgrades we wish we would have done sooner. During the day its slim and out of the way, and at night it provides fantastic dimmable light for cooking and hanging out at the tailgate of our truck.”Christina A. · Verified buyer

The original workhorse

Slim, simple, tough

The first light we ever made, and still the workhorse. The rotation is built into the light, so there's nothing extra to buy or bolt on.

  • Turns 180° by hand and stays where you aim it.
  • Slim, low profile that stays out of the way.
  • A slightly narrower beam than the F-Series, so less light spills where you don't want it.

“I work out of the back of my truck on a daily. The swivel for this light is exactly what I needed. It looks good and does exactly what you needed to.”

★★★★★

“I have 2 of the 40” light bars and they’re perfect paired with the dimmer switches. Super bright, durable, and a breeze to install.”

Joshua Z.Verified buyer
★★★★★

“Super easy install and straight forward. I really like the color temperature of these lights, not too cool or warm. The dimmer switch will be great for camping! Another upgrade to my First Gen Tundra. Customer service was top notch too!”

Questions

Good questions, short answers

Each zone has its own dimmer. Light just the tailgate, just the inside, or both, each at its own brightness.

Yes. Each dimmer runs up to 3 amps: 2× 40", 4× 28", 8× F-12 or 6× V-12. Add up the amps in each zone.

Wire strippers, connectors for 20 AWG wire, and wire routing supplies. They aren't in the kit.

The rotation is built in. Turn it by hand up to 180° and it stays where you aim it. No Search Mounts needed.

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.

The whole kit draws 4.2 amps at full brightness.
