“Love the lights. Red keeps the bugs at bay while switching to white with a click of the button to really see in detail.”
“Paired with the rotary dimmer switch and swivel brackets this thing is amazing. White light if needed i mostly keep it on red light so i dont blind the deer at night with the white light. Wish i knew how to attach photos thing is great.”
“Absolutely love this light!!! We do a lot of off-roading and camping and this light was one of the best additions to our gear! Everything from dim to super bright!!! Can rotate the light in or out of the Jeep.... and the red light helps keep the bugs at bay!”

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 28" light is 28" 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: 0.7 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.
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.
