Two different LED Lightbars with different LED emitters can consume an equal number of Watts but differ widely in light Lumen output (aka Efficacy). For example, one 3W LED may have an efficiency of 128Lm/W where another may only have 65Lm/W, therefore, deciding which LED light bar or driving light to purchase based on Watt is very misleading.

With the update to the ST3303 Pro, there will be a growing range of accessories to follow shortly down the track. On release, we have 3 additional coloured end caps available, on top of the included orange and grey. We will also have a comprehensive anti-theft kit available for the side brackets with the existing ST3303 sliding bracket anti-theft still being compatible.

My wife's motorcycle turn signals do not self cancel so quite often she would ride for miles before turning them off. I took two of these (blue) and mounted them to the windshield bracket and then ran the wires into the headlight bucket and connected them to the turn signals. They worked perfectly and no way you can forget to cancel the turn signal. Much cheaper than the canceling device for sale on the Internet and they look neat too. Going to wire some red ones to the tail light and stick them to the license plate frame.

The ST3K series provides a powerful punch in the low profile design. With identical beam geometry to the ST4K series, the ST3K light bars offer excellent beam distance and a useful wide beam. Designed for applications that are tight on clearance, or for a customer that prefers that stealth low key look. The ST3K compared to ST3301 has a longer beam distance, but less overall brightness. The flood beam of the ST3K is not as effective as the ST3301.

I'd bought two of the million color 5050 variant, & the moment I powered them on with eight AA batteries just one of these 'lil buggers was like the surface of the sun when looking at it.I had also purchased the mini micro controller for the multi-colored LEDs, and I must say that it allowed for stellar results with its many features. I plan to use these lights for my company's first cosplay/prop item that utilizes some methods known, & one combinatiin of three materials never before seen together as one.

In our buyer’s guide, you will find night shots we have spent a lot of time and effort in producing and ensuring are as accurate as possible. The night shots are there to help you get the best possible characterization of the overall beam shapes and brightness levels of the different lights within our range.

I am extremely pleased with these LEDs. I emailed the support team with my problem. I need lots of light, but I need battery life too. They recommended these, and they are amazing.Great product, great support.

Using the slider below, you are able to select 2 different lights to compare patterns, intensity, and what will suit the desired application you are looking for. For example, as every light in our range has a different build-up of reflectors, LEDs, and circuitry, the light throw down the road changes between each dramatically. We are using photos from all light bars as close together as possible for the best comparison.

Our ST3301 range has been designed to offer very strong mid-field illumination thanks to its larger diameter spot beam, and excellent visibility on the road shoulders in the nearfield. Compared to bars like our ST4K & ST3K (which have a longer beam distance but slightly less overall brightness in comparison) our ST3301 forms a larger diameter spot which blends homogeneously with its wide beam, perfectly suits the customer who is mainly concerned about wildlife running out from the road shoulders or those who need a huge amount of brightness and coverage in the mid-short and mid-range. If you have pre-existing lights and are content beam distance you already have, then the ST3301 is a great supplementary lamp to take care of near and mid-field illumination.

The ST4K series LED Light Bars are our most popular range as we often refer to it as the "jack of all trades". If you're looking for a driving light that will meet the lighting requirement of as many situations as possible the ST4K is definitely our most versatile light. The ST4K biggest strength is its relentless beam throw, thanks to it being built on the same tech as our Type-X V1.0 Spot Lights. Whilst the ST4K's claim to fame is market-leading beam distance, it still maintains a very useful flood beam. This is our 'go-to' light for a customer looking for a one-light solution. Versatile mounting systems with both sides and adjustable sliding brackets make these light bars well-suited to a wide range of vehicle makes/bullbar combinations.

A recent addition to our ST4K range is the ST4K Black Out Covers. These are optional accessories available for all sizes bar the 8 Inch and can be used as aesthetics or used when the total amount of driving lights facing forward exceeds a total of 4.

I'm using a few of the RGB 5050 units as part of the ambient lighting system I designed for my 2015 Ford Fusion. They work very well lighting the cup-holders and the forward console bay. I used 6" encapsulated flexible strips for the front foot-wells and under the seats. The problem is that the mounting tape DOES NOT hold up very well in the automotive interior environment, even when you degrease and clean the surface you are mounting them to. I was able to remove the tape from the 6" strips and replace it with the proper 3M automotive trim tape. The single 5050 units are too delicate to remove the tape, but so far just adding a same-size square of the 3M tape on top of whatever Oznium used has worked, just making it a little taller. My ambient lighting system cost a small fraction of what Ford charges for their add-on version, and is MUCH better!

LED's very existence is low power, high output. Big power consumption and big Watts go against the very existence of LEDs. All the high end cutting edge LEDs being released by the top tier manufacturers are consuming less and less current/Watts but produce even higher Lumens. In 2006 CREE's best LED on offer at the time was producing 131 Lumens Per Watt (LPW) - in 2014 their best emitter was producing 303 LPW.

My classic car (Triumph TR5) has no interior lights as standard, and being a convertible, it is difficult to get lights above the dash. I wanted something very small and discrete. Two of these fitted neatly underneath the interior mirror (cool white) and two in the footwells (green to match the carpets). The results are superb, and very reasonably priced too.

For the ST4K LED light bars we offer 2 options regarding anti-theft kits, side bracket, or lower sliding bracket. As the components are different between the 2 kits, you will need to ensure how you will be mounting the light bar before purchasing the kit.

I have RGB halo headlights in my Camaro and I wanted a small discreet LED inside so I could verify which color was being displayed. I installed these in my console where there are out of the way but still visible. I like them because they are just bright enough to be seen but not so bright that they are a distraction. Such a unique product, single RGB LED's that are controllable are hard to find in a ready made package.

Lux is defined as being the measure of light intensity, as perceived by the human eye. It is the measure of light at a given distance on a surface. Driving light manufacturers have pushed aside Lumens in favor of Lux (Lx) and are 2016 latest buzz word in the driving light arena. Lux distance data is definitely an important metric but is misleading if considered in isolation. A laser pointer could theoretically have a peak beam distance of 5km at 1 lux, but I think we would all agree that a pair of laser pointers will make for an awful driving light.

Shopping for the best LED Light bar or Driving Lights is a lot like shopping for a car, in that different customers have different lifestyles and therefore different requirements. Each one of our driving lights forms different beam shapes, so the best light bar really does come down to the best light bar for the given application.

BTW... these come on every night from dusk to dawn via a 12volt power adapter plugged into a photocell outdoor timer. And I actually used 50, not 40. 100% still functioning several years later. Going to replace several 12 Volt 20 watt halogen bulbs in our landscape pathway lights with two or three of these to save a lot of money on energy costs and annaul bulb replacement. Not to mention the cost associated with landscapers replacing the burnt-out bulbs. We have around 30 copper and glass pathway lights to convert. That is a huge amount of energy savings. They will pay for themselves. Direct halogen bi-pin replacement LEDs (purchased elsewhere) failed after a few short months. Knowing these 5050 last, it's a no brainer for me. I will post pics of conversion process and end result. Cheers.

Have you ever wondered why the cheapest LED driving lights seem to have the highest “Watts”, and the premium gear produced by the most respected manufacturers have far less in comparison?

It’s our most expensive light bar ever produced. The price is right up there, and so is the performance. You're going to need to spend more money to order a pair of high-end sunglasses, or welders mask so that you can safely use this bar while driving at night. If we’re being honest, no one needs a driving light with this level of performance. We only made it because the LED geeks in our team insisted that: “...it would be freakin’ cool”. The type of person that buys a driving light like this has a very strong light fetish and thinks that dropping a Cummins 6.7L in a Daihatsu Charade is adequate and appropriate. If you have ever had the privilege of witnessing the performance of our other bars in our range like the ST4K, you’d probably say “Why on earth does anyone need more light than this” – Well, the ST3303 PRO is precisely that, more.

When driving light manufacturers to carry out photometric testing to obtain ISOLUX data, the goniophotometer used to test this metric only measures the peak intensity at the center of the entire beam, which is great, but what about the rest of the beam? If 5 different driving lights all have 1 lux at 500m, which one do you buy? To obtain remarkable ISOLUX numbers, it is simply a matter of focusing down the beam, but beam focusing comes at the expense of light coverage. The very best driving lights are the ones that strike the best possible balance between brightness (Lm) and beam throw (Lx). Some of the best of the best driving light manufacturers refuse to quote lux distance numbers on their flagship products because taken in isolation is misleading in particular when customers are comparing Lux data between separate manufacturers. The best driving light isn't necessarily the one that achieves the longest beam throw. The best driving lights in our view are the ones that have a well-formed usable overall beam shape, and most importantly, the one which is best suited to the customer's application. In this regard, even the customer geographical location plays an important role. The nature of the roads in far north Queensland demands a different beam shape to that which is found in Victoria.

Lumens tell us how bright. Certainly, the lumen rating plays a part in determining the brightness of the light, but should never be the single deciding factor when choosing which LED light bar you should purchase. The reason we say this is, the ANSI standard for measuring lumens is in an integrated sphere, in other words, the lumen output is measured at close proximity to the light source.

A lot of people ask what the advantage of the ST2K LED Lightbar is and the reason behind the beam output. We designed this light for the specific purpose of adding flood beam at a distance where your traditional combo beams flood will narrow to a spot. This is hard to explain so we now provide this slider below to present the beam visually displaying a 22" ST4K LED Light Bar with the slider overlaying the advantage of the 21.5" ST2K's beam. As you can see below the flood beam further down the road is greatly increased providing a field of visibility for wildlife that may obstruct your path down the track.

I've used a few dozen 505's to light various parts of my car, including the cup holders. They are small, VERY bright, and durable. These are the best LED's I've ever used and I've been an electronic tech for over 35 years.

In addition to our existing product range, most of which we design and manufacture ourselves, Oznium also offers customized solutions for many industries.

If you are changing things up, misplaced the other brackets, or just lost a few pieces along your travels, we have all spare parts regarding mounting and installation via the link below.

Oznium sells LEDs and related accessories that light up your life. Whether it's a specific wavelength of green LED to help you catch fish at night, or a color changing effect that makes your house stand out, our products are designed to make your world a brighter place.

Aside from the fact that most Lumen numbers we encounter are totally fictitious, there are many other important metrics that should be considered.

I installed these over almost four years ago. No a single one of the 40 installed has come off or quit working. These are very high quality LEDs. The adhesive side is super strong and has survived the Seattle weather flawlessly. Click through the "action shots" to see how I used these on my deck.

Unlike any other driving light on the market, our ST2K series is designed for those who need an excellent mid to long-range light distribution. It is important to note that the ST2K only starts to become effective at 150 to 200m, and will require a minimum of 100m of clear to form its beam. For this reason, we do not recommend the ST2K for dense bush & forest tracks. Due to its unique rear-facing LED with hooded reflectors, the ST2K will produce very little light in the near field but will produce a huge amount of coverage in the critical 10 o’clock and 2 o’clock region. Excellent for high-speed applications, or applications that warrant long braking distances. Often compared with our ST4K, the 2K & 3K are almost opposites in light distribution, but at the same time they go about achieving the same thing in a different way, picking between these two ultimately depends on the customer’s application.

In driving light terms, Lumen output is not the best indicator of the performance of any particular LED light bar or driving light, given we are more concerned about our driving lights performance at 20 to 300m.  As an example, you could have two light bars side by side with equal lumen ratings, but different reflector or lens configurations with hugely varying light output at say 150m.  In short, the delivered light (lux) is the more appropriate rating. Two different light bars - both with 10,000 Lumens - can have a very different lux reading at 100m. We have seen the Lux measurement of similar spec bars vary by 50% or more at a mere 10m, despite having identical on paper Lumen output. If we remove all of the optics or reflectors from any given light bar, the delivered lumens count doesn't change (in fact it is likely to go up), but needless to say, the beam performance is affected drastically.

I made a costume for Halloween last year and wanted to incorporate and LED into the mask I was wearing. I bought 2 red surface mounts in case one of them wasn't bright enough I would use the 2nd one too. The first one was definitely bright enough and I held on to the unopened one in case the ribbon on the one ripped or broke I had another to replace it. I didn't have to worry about that at all, and it held up for the entire run of the haunted hayride I was working at. Very bright and received many compliments on it. Still have the 2nd one still in it's package and I just ordered 2 different ones for my costume this year. The one from last year is still going strong too.

A recent addition to our ST3K range is the STEDI Black Out Covers. These are optional accessories available for all sizes and can be used as aesthetics or used when the total amount of driving lights facing forward exceeds a total of 4.

In brief terms, Watts is a measure of the amount of energy consumed by any given luminaries. Thanks to older incandescent light bulbs, people are used to looking at Watts to determine light output.  With this older style technology, it is correct to assume that 100 Watt light bulb is likely to be brighter when compared to a 60 Watt bulb.  This same logic, however, cannot be applied to LED driving lights or LEDs in general. When it comes to LED, it is ok to think about Watts as a measure of input power, but it’s never ok to think of Watts as a measure of output.  There is no relationship between Watts & Lumens and no relationship between Watts & Lux when it comes to LED Driving Lights or LED Light Bars once the LED is placed inside of a circuit.
