Exterior Light Bars in All Sizes

Full size light bars can be beneficial in a variety of settings. Choosing the full-length size gives you a solid 360 degree visibility when you need it the most. If you need a compact solution, consider our mini light bars. Even though you are choosing a smaller size, you don't have to sacrifice the quality or effectiveness of the lighting. These mini light bars pack a lot of power with a more compact housing. No matter which size you choose, high-power LED lights ensure brightness and visibility when the light bars are powered on.

LED Light Bar Sizes and Where They Fit

Light bar sizes are determined by the roof width and mounting position rather than vehicle class.

• 14 to 21 inch mini bars: K-Force Micro class units for motorcycles, UTVs, supervisor vehicles, and builds where roof space is limited
• 27 to 36 inch bars: The practical range for pickups, vans, and utility trucks that need visible roof warning without full-width hardware
• 36 to 55 inch full size bars: Full roof coverage on Charger, Tahoe, Explorer, and Crown Victoria platforms, with the highest module count plus takedown and alley lighting
• 60 inch running board sticks: Side coverage along the rocker panel rather than roof mounting

The best solution is to measure the mounting surface before ordering. Also, remember that the bracket fit matters as much as bar length.

Light Bars for Utility & Off Road Vehicles

Tow truck light bars are essential to maintaining safety during a roadside stop. We have a variety of amber light bars for tow vehicles that give you ample options when you are choosing the best package for your vehicle. These light bars are fully customizable and you can choose from different features, such as traffic advisors, work lights, and built-in solutions for the front, rear, top, and side of your truck.

High-quality LED off road light bars keep the road well-lit when you are in a dark and/or remote area. Choose from a variety of off-road LED light bar sizes, including full length light bars, individual flood lights, or any combination of lights that will work best for your off road vehicle.

Light Bar Colors and Who Can Use Them

Warning color is set by state statute and by vehicle class.

• Red and blue: Only allowed for law enforcement in most US states. A red and blue light bar is the standard marked patrol configuration, and blue is reserved for police and sheriff use in most jurisdictions.
• Red and white: Fire apparatus and ambulances, with white used for scene lighting and secondary warning
• Amber: The widely permitted color for tow, utility, construction, and security vehicles
• Dual color and MultiColor: Two colors in one module, so a single bar runs red/blue, amber/white, or another pairing without the need to install a second unit

First responders and volunteer personnel should confirm their state statute before specifying red or blue on a privately owned vehicle.

SAE Certified Light Bars

Over the years, we've put our products through independent third-party SAE test labs to ensure they meet high-quality standards. We offer a wide variety of SAE-certified light bars that have undergone rigorous testing to ensure performance and durability. If you want the highest-quality LED emergency vehicle lights, choose products that meet SAE J595 and J845 certifications.

What do these SAE certifications mean? These certifications hold LED light bars to the highest industry standard. Each item has to go through strenuous testing, including temperature, dust, moisture, corrosion, photometric, and vibration tests. J595 covers directional warning devices, while J845 covers omnidirectional 360-degree devices such as full light bars. Class 1, the highest achievable rating, is for vehicles operating with right-of-way authority.

Eclipse® Optic LED Technology

Our Eclipse® Optic Technology was designed and patented to help maximize already high-power LED brightness even further. Our TIR optics are focused on an individual LED enhancement, while our Linear optics provide a magnifying, wide-spread effect. Both provide a very bright and powerful output.

Build Your Own Custom Light Bar

If a stock color layout does not match your department spec, our custom light bar builder lets you select each module color individually across the bar for one, flat price. A single unit can run red and blue at the front, amber at the rear, and white takedown exactly where you need it. You use a switch box to control the system and assign patterns and functions to individual switches.

Frequently Asked Questions About LED Light Bars

What size LED light bar do I need?

Match the bar to the roof measurements, not the vehicle class. Full-size bars from 36 to 55 inches fit sedans and SUVs with a full-width roof. Mini bars from 14 to 27 inches are better for pickups, motorcycles, and supervisor units, or any build where a full-width bar is impractical.

What is the difference between TIR and Linear light bars?

TIR optics focus each LED into a narrow, high-intensity beam, which gives the strongest long-distance punch. Linear optics spread output across a magnifying lens, producing an even, fully illuminated face that reads as a solid bar of light. TIR wins on raw intensity; Linear wins on visual coverage and off-angle visibility.

Are LED light bars legal on a personal vehicle?

It depends on the color and state. Red and blue are restricted to authorized emergency vehicles in most states, and the restriction covers both interior bars and roof-mounted lights. Amber is generally permitted for tow, utility, construction, and security use. Check your state vehicle code before installing any warning light bar.

Do you sell magnetic light bars?

Magnetic mounting is available on mini bars, which is what makes them practical for unmarked units and vehicles that cannot be drilled. A magnetic base is only as secure as the steel under it, so magnet mounts are best for low-speed and temporary use, while bolt-down or rail mounting is a better choice for a primary patrol vehicle.

What does SAE Class 1 mean on a light bar?

Class 1 is the highest of three SAE intensity classes. It is the level expected on vehicles operating with right-of-way authority at highway speed. Class 2 and Class 3 are intended for slower or stationary work applications.

Can I replace a single module instead of the whole light bar?

Yes. Modules, lenses, brackets, controllers, and cables are stocked as individual parts, so a bar damaged in one section can be repaired without the need to replace the whole unit. This is one reason a modular light bar costs less to run across a fleet lifecycle than a sealed one-piece unit.

With a variety of high-quality, yet affordable products to choose from for a range of vehicle lighting and siren applications, look no further than SpeedTech Lights.
