How to Choose the Right LED Light Bar

Decide Where You Want to Mount It

The first step to choosing the right size and type of LED light bar is to decide where you want to mount it. The most common locations are on the front end of the vehicle or roof. Grill mounts are smaller and less expensive but usually offer a lower, narrower beam. Roof mounts are larger and costlier but provide more illumination. 

Take Measurements

If you're mounting the LED light bar in front on the bullbar, measure the available space and choose a style that fits your vehicle. Bullbar mounts usually range in width between 6 and 30 inches. If you're mounting the light bar onto a roof rack or crossbar, pull out the measuring tape and determine how much room you have. The purpose here is to provide the brightest, widest illumination possible, so a larger roof-mounted LED light bar is better.  

Determine Which Type You Need

Once you've chosen a size and location, you must decide whether you want floodlights, spotlights, or a flood-spot combo. Spotlights offer a narrow, intense beam, and floodlights illuminate a wider area. Combination lights give you the best of both worlds.
