Kingpin Pro Tip
V-Series lights throw a slightly narrower light beam compared to F-Series lights. The lens is narrower. This can provide more isolation and less bleed into other areas where you may not want light.

Customer Reviews
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 484 reviews.
Easy install and excited to see it in use while exploring!
Love the ability to brighten or dim the lights for the setting I am in or the project I am trying to accomplish in the dark
Love the lights. Red keeps the bugs at bay while switching to white with a click of the button to really see in detail.
Amazing product, used this wire to finish my gfc setup for now and have enough extra for more projects in the near future!
Be careful with the plastic tabs. I have a pair of the 40" lights mounted in my truck topper. Both the plastic mount points on one of the lights have failed entirely and broken and the second light is about to fail as well (both plastic mounts are severely cracked.) I've had them installed less than 6 months. I reached out to customer service and they promptly responded to ask (thank you) about what went wrong but unfortunately said they can't do anything warranty related which is a bummer with how expensive these lights are and for how little use I got out of them before they broke.
This light bar is incredible! I was definitely hesitant at the price, but I am so glad that I purchased it. It has been a great feature to my construction cap while the video may make it look not too bright at night. It is beyond what I needed.
The rotary dimmer was as described and completely worth it. It really compliments the light bar nicely.
This is an excellent addition to my new Overland Vehicle Systems Expedition topper. I got the F series specifically for my MTB practices and hunting so we can be loading or unloading with less bugs! I put 2 40" bars and 2 28" bars all wired into a 2 position switch. This let's me run just the 40s or all 4.
Very easy install, with all the proper hardware. Went with the 40" red/white light and rotary dimmer. Super bright on high and very easy on the eyes, almost ambient on low. Super slick setup with the search mounts. I definitely feel like i will be utilizing this light bar alot on more of my camp and fishing trips.
This is a must have if you have lights in a hard to reach place or multiple lights. Dimmable option is a great add on. Just needs the ability to switch colors with the remote switch. Still 5 STARS!!!
Love these lights. Installed a total of 4 on my truck one of which has magnets and a 15' extension cord and can be put almost anywhere. Plenty of light in both red and white for drone operations.
Love the new feature to have red light also. Have mounted this one with dimmer switch on side of overlanding camper on awning side, is wired directly to solar powered battery with 12v wiring kit
Amazing upgrade so bright and convenient for camping!!! I love it!!
Man.. I was a little hesitant to drop such funds on rig lighting but then I remembered what a great man once said… “F*** IT” And, he was a great man. These lights are killer. Swivel adjustment brackets are crucial. Dimmer knobs are a must. Overall, after an afternoon of getting it fully dialed just how I wanted it (along with a custom Milwaukee drill bit box turned DIY junction box) I couldn’t be happier. For work or camping; these friggin rock!
We are a dealer for Kingpin! Excellent products and customer service! We sell a ton of their lights at our shop! Don’t hesitate making a purchase you won’t be dissappointed!
Good quality, good light, dimmable-worth the money. Easy to install.
Great light!
The 40" V-Series lights worked exceptionally well as compartment and bed lighting in our fire department command vehicle build. We were very impressed with the build quality of the lights. Our customer especially appreciated the ability to rotate the light, allowing them to illuminate either the interior of the compartment or the area outside the vehicle. This versatility creates a well-lit workspace at the tailgate whenever needed.
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!
These work great! Wiring was simple enough and the dimmer works like a charm. Would recommend, has leveled up my truck cap!
Great customer service, great product! Very bright!
I love this switch it works really well and also easy to install with your lights
Very easy to mount and the light stays where you position it to, I would recommend using these.
These lights are great paired with a dimmer switch. These fit perfectly on my teardrop galley door.
I have not got to use the lights in a real world setting yet but they seam perfect for the Adventure Trailer, . The installation was straightforward!
Light is great!!! Love the red light option. It works great as well.
Great product and great customer service. Easy installation. Will be buying more.
Awesome addition to our Unlimited Rubicon. Very fine produce easy installation.
Amazing product!!! Hands down the best lights I have bought so far. super easy install, just basic wiring knowledge is needed. Definitely will buy again.10/10 would recommend
Perfect fit for rear cage hoop. Like the swivel feature. Ready to go wheeling/camping.
Absolutely love these lights. The fact that they can swivel with the mounts helps lighting up camp or the drive way!
This is the third vehicle I've installed these lights in. These things are absolutely amazing. They are bright and very durable.
Great idea unfortunately idk if i got a bad switch but it wouldn’t work unless the cover was taken off. Sucks i cant dim the light because t got it to work. Still a nice switch but things happen
I have nothing but great things to say about Kingpin. I have purchased multiple rotary switches and a touch switch from them. I've even asked customer service questions via chat about using their switches with other companies products. They immediately provided the information needed and never questioned what I was using the product for. They've been very quick to answer any additional customer service questions I've had as well. Through no fault but my own I recently shorted out a switch, and I reached out to ask about any internal fuses, etc. they answered all my questions immediately. I ordered a replacement switch for the one I popped. I'm using a total of four switches to operate strip lighting on my turtleback trailer and my Alucab awning. I installed the touch switch in my home for under counter lighting and I'm very happy with everything purchased in the company as a whole. Thank you Kingpin
Great quality. Clean install
Very easy to install love how you can rotate it. I also like how bright it gets and not overpowering.
Can’t say enough about these lights and Kingpin as a brand. I ordered the bundle of 3 F-series lights and one of the lights arrived damaged due to the shipping carrier. It was somehow bent at about a 40 degree angle, but totally intact, so these lights are as durable as they are advertised. I reached out to Kingpin and they immediately submitted a claim and shipped out a replacement at no cost. The install was easy, even for someone like me who does not have a lot of experience with electrical wiring. They look and work great, and I’m looking forward to putting them to use.
These lights are perfect. Wo t need anything else
I can finally see my gear. Great overland light, it lights up my whole tailgate cooking area. Tom Instagram-@RDOverland Youtube-RDOverland
