LED Rock Lights

What are Rock Lights?

Rock lights are small pods that can be mounted on the underside of your vehicle for that coveted under-glow effect. They are ultra bright and come in a variety of colours for easy customization. Performance's LED rock lights come with mounting hardware for easy installation. They also have a rubber mounting spacer so you don't damage your vehicle. Rock lights come individually: grab a couple for a subtle look, or go all out with lots of pods in different colours. 

PerformLED Rock Lights currently come in the following colours:

• White
• Red
• Amber
• Blue
• Green

Not just for aesthetics, rock lights can also help with illuminating the road beneath you. Imagine yourself navigating a treacherous off-road trail at night, the only light source being the dim glow of your headlights. Suddenly, a hidden rock looms in the darkness, threatening to damage your vehicle. This is where rock lights come in. These small but powerful lights, strategically placed under your vehicle, illuminate the terrain below, allowing you to see obstacles and navigate with confidence.

Rock lights are LED lights specifically designed for off-road vehicles. They are typically mounted underneath the vehicle's chassis, shining downward to illuminate the ground directly below. This provides enhanced visibility, especially in low-light conditions or on challenging trails.

Why are Rock Lights Important?

• Enhanced Visibility: Rock lights significantly improve visibility, especially when maneuvering through tight spaces or over obstacles.
• Safety: By illuminating potential hazards, rock lights help prevent accidents and damage to your vehicle.
• Aesthetics: Beyond their functional benefits, rock lights can add a stylish touch to your vehicle, especially when customized with different colours and patterns.

The Science Behind Rock Lights

Rock lights utilize high-powered LEDs that produce a bright, focused beam of light. These LEDs are designed to be durable and resistant to vibration, water, and extreme temperatures. The color temperature of the light, typically measured in Kelvin (K), can vary. A lower color temperature (e.g., 3000K) produces a warmer, amber light, while a higher color temperature (e.g., 6000K) produces a cooler, white light.

Turn Heads: LED Turn Signal Lights

LED Turn Signal Lights: A Bright Choice for Your Vehicle

Why Upgrade to LED Turn Signal Lights?

Have you ever felt like your car's turn signal lights were just not bright enough? Many drivers find themselves struggling with dim, outdated turn signal lights that can make it difficult for other motorists to see their intentions. If you're tired of worrying about whether other drivers can see your signals, it might be time to consider an upgrade to LED turn signal lights.

LED turn signal lights offer a multitude of benefits over traditional incandescent bulbs. They are significantly brighter, providing increased visibility in both day and night conditions. This is especially important during low-light conditions or in areas with heavy traffic. According to a study conducted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), LED turn signals can be up to 30% brighter than incandescent bulbs. This means other drivers will have more time to react to your signals, reducing the risk of accidents.

In addition to their superior brightness, LED turn signal lights are also more energy-efficient than incandescent bulbs. They consume less power, reducing the load on your vehicle's electrical system and potentially improving fuel economy. Moreover, LED bulbs have a much longer lifespan, lasting up to 30 times longer than incandescent bulbs. This means fewer replacements and less maintenance over time.

One of the most significant advantages of LED turn signal lights is their ability to improve your safety on the road. By providing better visibility, LED turn signals can help to prevent accidents by ensuring that other drivers can see your intentions clearly. Studies have shown that LED turn signals can reduce the risk of rear-end collisions by up to 20%.

Additional Benefits of LED Turn Signal Lights:

• Faster response time: LED bulbs have a faster on/off response time, improving your reaction time when signaling.
• Enhanced aesthetics: LED turn signals can give your vehicle a more modern and stylish look.
• Improved visibility for other drivers: LED turn signals are more easily seen by other drivers, especially in adverse weather conditions.
• Reduced maintenance costs: With their longer lifespan, LED turn signals can help you save money on replacement bulbs and labor costs.

The Science Behind LED Turn Signal Lights

LED (Light Emitting Diode) technology works by passing an electrical current through a semiconductor material, causing it to emit light. This process is much more efficient than the filament-based technology used in traditional incandescent bulbs. As a result, LED bulbs produce less heat and consume less power.

The Impact of LED Turn Signal Lights on Road Safety

Studies have shown that LED turn signals can significantly improve road safety. By providing better visibility, LED turn signals can help to prevent accidents by ensuring that other drivers can see your intentions clearly. This is especially important during low-light conditions or in areas with heavy traffic.

Choosing the Right LED Turn Signal Lights

When selecting LED turn signal lights, it's essential to consider factors such as:

• Vehicle compatibility: Ensure the lights are compatible with your specific vehicle model and year.
• Brightness: Choose lights that are sufficiently bright to be easily seen by other drivers.
• Color temperature: LED turn signals are available in various color temperatures (e.g., white, yellow). Select a color that you prefer.
• Beam pattern: Ensure the lights have the correct beam pattern for your vehicle's turn signals.

New Product Line! Stealth Series Breakdown

PerformLED's new Stealth Series is a line of light bars and cube lights designed for a sleek, minimal look. These products stand out due to their dark interior to blend in with your bumper.

Key features of the Stealth Series include:

• Flat front face: A clean edge without screw holes.
• Temperature control: Prevents frost and overheating.
• Plug-and-play installation: Easy to install yourself or with professional help.

The Stealth Cube Lights come in two options: Flood and Spot. Flood lights provide wide-angle coverage, while spot lights offer a focused beam for long-distance visibility.

The Stealth 22-inch light bar combines both flood and spot reflectors for optimal lighting coverage. It's suitable for various vehicles, including ATVs and UTVs

Flood vs. Spot Light Bars

The first question we ask when someone needs a light bar is "do you need spot or flood?" Below, we're listing the differences between the two, what each type is better suited for, and our recommendations for light bar styles. 

1. Flood

Flood light bars disperse light in a wide, flat pattern. You'll get more side-to-side coverage with flood lights, and less distance coverage. The difference is in the lens: flood light lenses are smaller and shaped differently than spot and allow the light from the LED chip to travel at a wider angle.

These types are best suited for seeing into the ditches at night, or lighting up a broad area on a work site, field, etc.

Performance's R-Series are the best option if you need a flood light bar. They're a reliable, all-purpose bar, perfect for trails and off-roading so you can see all around you. 

2. Spot

Spot light bars have a bright, concentrated beam of light that shines long distances. The light is focused on the road or path, without the ditch coverage of the flood light bars. Spot light lenses are larger and thicker to magnify the light and focus it.

These types of light bars enable you to see further down the road, lighting up obstructions, animals, etc. 

The F-Series is the best option if you're needing a far, focused beam of light. This series comes in straight or curved, and has a higher wattage LED chip for brighter, more powerful light.

3. Combo/Convertible

Combo light bars feature the best of both spot and flood. The outer sections of light is flood for ditch coverage, while the inner sections of the light bar are more focused and shine long distances. 

Performance's X-Series are the best light bars we offer with 7 W LED chips and a limited lifetime guarantee. They're a powerful combo light bar, but the sections can also be converted to spot or flood to suit your application. The XS-Series is the single-row version of this light bar, with the exact same chip and features and slimmer profile.

The lenses on the spot and flood sections of the X-Series are the same, but the flood sections have a panel in front that disperses the light. This means that you can put flood panels on your entire light bar, part of your light bar, or leave them out entirely.

The video below shows how you can replace a spot panel for a flood panel or vice-versa. This can be done for both the X-Series and the XS-Series.
