What’s So Good About Rigid Industries Lights?

Offroading is a year-round, all-day activity. In the summer, we escape the heat by going on night drives and, in the winter, the sun sets earlier and we spend evenings camping outdoors. That means there will always be instances where we are driving after dark. Now, that may seem completely normal in the city, where your headlights are helped by street lamps to guide your way. But when you are navigating sand dunes or rocky tracks in the complete darkness, you will soon realise that your standard headlights are not cut out for the job. Even with huge advances in headlight technology in the last 10 years, the standard lights supplied with your 4x4 cannot match the brightness, beam pattern and positioning of a set of great quality off-road LED lights such as those offered by Rigid Industries.

What’s So Good About Rigid Industries Lights?

Buying an LED lightbar in the UAE (or any other country for that matter) is very easy because there are a large number of unbranded and untested Chinese products that have flooded the market. These lights appear very appealing because of their comparatively low price, but when faced with the harsh vibrations, dust and heat that come with offroading, they will rarely last more than 18 months on your vehicle before breaking. That is why buying from companies such as Rigid Industries and AOR LED Lights is crucial if you want to avoid having faulty, flickering and cheap-looking lights. Rigid Industries lights are arguably the best off-road lights that you can buy, with the greatest features, best reliability and longest warranty. RAMY Automotive is the main supplier for RIGID LED lights in the UAE.

Rigid Industries has a range of LED Lights which cater to all of your lighting needs. Read on to find out which is best for you.

Ignite

• Ignite is the smallest and most versatile light that Rigid offers. Kicking out 1000 raw lumens with a diffused flood beam pattern, it is the perfect light for short-range lighting. Designed as an auxiliary light to supplement other Rigid lights, it is most commonly mounted on the back or sides of your vehicle to provide lighting over a camp or when reversing. This is made possible thanks to the low current draw (less than 1 amp) and voltage requirements (7-28 volts) which makes it ideal for a range of applications. Impressively, Rigid made the Ignite compatible with all GoPro style mounts, so there is a huge array of mounting options already on the market to make it easier than ever to install.

Radiance

• The Radiance is a newcomer to the Rigid lineup, with a very unique appearance. Available in either a square pod, an XL Pod or a rectangular lightbar, all models are feature-packed, with a black exposed printed circuit board, forward projecting broad spot LEDs and back-lighting available in white, green, amber, blue and red. Importantly, the backlighting is controlled through a separate switch so you can turn on the coloured backlights individually to accent your vehicle’s colour scheme, giving a truly custom look. Furthermore, the broad spot beam pattern combines the best qualities of a spot and flood beam pattern for excellent forward lighting. Overall, therefore, this is a great looking light with fantastic functionality and great value.

SR-L

• The SR-L Series offers the same backlit features as the Radiance but brings those great looks to a wider beam pattern comprising the ‘spreader’ and ‘lightbar’.
• Lightbar
  • The SRL Series 20 inch lightbar provides an ultra-wide 70-degree beam pattern which gives great forward-facing illumination. With four ‘halo’ backlighting colours: red, blue, amber or white, it is easier than ever to add to the look of your offroader. Additionally, the hidden mounting hardware and glossy outer trim give the bar a really sleek look. A 3-position switch is included, allowing you to easily switch between the halo accent lighting and the forward-projecting light.
• Spreader
  • The Spreader provides a broad 120˚ beam pattern to illuminate wide areas around your vehicle. In addition, there are two coloured halo options with two common uses. First the white halo, perfect for mounting on your front bumper as a daytime running light and with a separate broad beam for nighttime. Secondly, red, perfect for mounting on the rear of your vehicle as a combination of a red rear light and a broad white reverse light or camp floodlight.

Adapt

• This is the alpha, the all-in-one: the king of offroad lighting. The Rigid Adapt LED Light Bars are the world’s first off-road lighting products that can change instantly according to conditions. With 8 selectable beam patterns that range from a 90 degree broad short-distance beam to a highly focused 15 degree long-distance spot beam, all packed into a single lightbar. Even more impressive is Rigid’s new Active View Technology, which allows the beam pattern to actively adjust with vehicle speed. Furthermore, the Adapt light bar also includes accent lighting similar to that of the Radiance and SR-L but here can be set to any colour on the spectrum. Available in 10, 30, 40 and 50 inch sizes, the kit includes a RIGID Dash Controller, which is a sleek backlit controller that offers easy, intuitive control of the Adapt’s beam patterns, Adaptive Mode, accent lighting, and programmable presets.

All of Rigid Industries’ products are built to an incredibly high standard and come packed with an unrivalled set of features and illumination abilities.
