Let’s start by getting to the bottom of what exactly a light bar is, for those of you who aren’t already aware. It’s pretty much exactly what it sounds like, a bar that you mount onto your truck with lights across it. The appearance, aesthetic, color, purpose, et cetera of the lights can vary, so there are many different kinds of light bars, but at its core that’s what it is.Most commonly a light bar will be mounted onto the front of your truck’s roof, but there are many different places they could be installed, such as the grille, the hood, or even the back of the roof.

There are also different types or purposes of light bars, such as driving beams, spotlights or off-road beams, fog beams and flood beams. You might also choose between straight light bars or curved light bars, depending on the purpose for which you’re installing them. Regardless of which type you choose, the ultimate purpose of a light bar is to better illuminate your path when off-roading or driving in otherwise particularly dark areas.

When deciding on which kind of light bar you want to install on your truck, it’s important to think about why you want to get them in the first place. There are three main driving reasons for choosing to add light bars to your truck. The first and most obvious is for off-roading, overlanding and all the recreational activities that go hand in hand with them – having extra lights for the campsite at night, for example. Brightness, or in other words how many lumens the lights are capable of producing, is your key factor here.

The second area is for a work vehicle. If you’re customizing a work truck to make your job easier than ever, one of the most important things to consider for your light bars is how waterproof they are. You can’t control the weather, so you want to make sure any light bars you have on your vehicle can withstand inclement conditions like rain and snow. The third is the easiest, you just want to build the coolest looking truck you can imagine, and naturally the light bar’s aesthetic is going to be key for you.

Hopefully we’ve helped you figure out a little bit more about light bars and what to think about before purchasing or having them installed.
