“The 12” F series light with the brackets and dimmer is the perfect solution to the poor lighting in the Bronco. This is what I have been searching for. The red light mode is a real bonus. Well worth it.”Timothy C. · Verified buyer

The light

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 put 2 of the 12inch lights under my rtt to light up the truck bed area. Super bright lights. Love these things. Easy install, if you can run wire, you can install these.”

Christopher L.Verified buyer
★★★★★

“Mounted the 12in lights and mounting brackets on the rear doors of my van. Gives a lot of extra light inside and outside the van. Well made quality lights. Easy to mount, and work great.”

James L.Verified buyer
★★★★★

“The installation for this light was extremely easy. I have a WildTop soft topper which has an 80/20 frame, this allowed for the use of t-nuts, making the installation seamless in almost any location I wanted. I am also using a motorcycle battery that is mounted in a Decked system for power. I have run this light for hours with no issues or worries about draining the battery. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a great lighting solution almost anywhere!”

Questions

Good questions, short answers

No. Use your own fused 12V feed, or add the Power Supply Kit (from the battery) or the AC Power Supply (from an outlet or power station).

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.

The whole kit draws 0.3 amps at full brightness.

Yes. It's weatherproof (IP54): dust-protected and splash-proof from any direction. Don't submerge it.
