Unmatched Light Output
With a true power draw of over 10 watts, the Stage Series Rock Light provides a peak output of 1000 lumens, making them the brightest LED Rock Lights available.
Even with claims of high power, generic rock lights run at only a few watts, making the Diode Dynamics Rock Light a huge step up for the entire category. Where generic rock lights require two or three units to light up one space on the vehicle, you’ll only need one of Diode Dynamics’ rock lights to get the coverage and output you need.
Dual Power Levels
The Stage Series Rock Light uses a simple 3-wire system, allowing you to select a low-power or high-power mode. At 3 watts of output, the low-power mode is actually on-par with the max output of most generic rock lights!
If you want to light up a campsite and you don’t need all 1000 lumens, the low-power mode is a great way to conserve battery power.
This 3-wire setup also provides much more functionality for custom off-road builds.
By tying the low and high power wires into your factory harness, our Rock Lights can be used as a dual-function running/brake light, or running/turn signal, all in one simple package.
Optically-Engineered, Interchangeable Lenses
Most rock lights are built without optics in mind. They use a simple clear cover to protect from the elements.
In true Diode Dynamics style, we’ve incorporated optical features to get the best performance possible.
Four individual optics are molded into the outer lens, which provides excellent spread and even, consistent coverage from each light.
The lens itself is a thick automotive-grade polycarbonate, made to take a beating on the trail. And the best part? The lenses are interchangeable and can be swapped out easily for a quick color change, with either clear or diffused options. Click here to view our interchangeable lenses.
Mount it Anywhere
These Rock Lights were designed to be mounted virtually anywhere on your vehicle.
All Stage Series Rock Lights come standard with a center bolt mounting point, which is neatly hidden underneath the lens.
The aluminum heatsink also features hidden mounting tabs for quick zip-tie installation, if preferred.
If that’s not enough, we also offer a variety of mounting solutions to cover any other potential application, including
Let's take a look at each of these convenient mounting options to better help you determine which one is right for you.
Tube Mount
A tube mount, sometimes better known as a roll bar mount, allows you to mount our Stage Series Rock Lights directly to your roll bars, bull bars, roof racks, cargo baskets, or other tubes.
This mount allows you to use two hose clamps to secure your rock light in place on nearly any tube diameter thanks to its accommodating design.
Magnetic Mount
For even greater versatility, we offer our magnetic mount option. This magnet allows you to mount your Stage Series Rock Lights to any magnetic surface.
The magnet is encased in an over-molded design so that the magnet cannot rust and no marring happens to the contact surface.
With N42 Neodynium magnets, you can rest assured that your rock lights will still be where you placed them when your trek is over. Each of these accessory mounts is designed to mate up perfectly with the base Stage Series Rock Light unit, for a professional and clean appearance when installed.
Flush Mount
The flush mount kit allows you to mount your rock lights recessed in your bumper, truck bed, wheel well, or nearly anywhere else you can think of.
All you need is about an inch of depth space and you can mount a light with a nice clean, flush appearance.
This can be especially useful for off-road enthusiasts who are concerned about their approach, break over, and departure angles but still want functional rock lights on the underside of their vehicle.
Surface Mount
The surface mount kit allows you to mount Stage Series Rock Lights onto any flat surface, like the sides of a trailer for example.
The durable, powder-coated, diecast metal of the surface mount integrates with the rock light to make a nice clean single-unit appearance.
A 20-degree angle adapter is included with each surface mount so you can angle the output from your rock lights if desired.
Choose Your Color
Single Color
Stage Series LED Rock Lights are available in cool white, amber, red, green, and blue. With the same high-power white LEDs underneath, the interchangeable lenses allow you to change colors anytime.
White is a great option to get the maximum lighting output possible, while green and blue provide some serious styling.
The red or amber colors can add functional options on an off-road setup by powering the low and high power inputs with your running light and turn signal, for example.
RGBW Multicolor
If you’re looking for more unique color options, you’ll want to check out our RGBW Multicolor Rock Lights!
Though they are not as powerful as single-color rock lights, RGBW rock lights are a popular choice for off-road enthusiasts.
These lights use a combination of red, green, and blue LEDs to create a full spectrum of colors. This allows you to customize the lighting of your rock lights to highlight your personal style.
Diode Dynamics’ RGBW Multicolor Rock Lights have four high-intensity RGBW LED emitters. This means that they put out a high output of light in almost any color imaginable.
Unlike other multicolor rock lights, the extra white chip means that these will light up in a pure, bright white color when you need to maximize your light output. This provides a much more uniform, pure, and bright white color than the traditional method of combining all RGB signals.
In addition to the variety of colors available, the multicolor RGBW rock lights give you the ability to utilize a pattern, strobing effect, fade, or control the brightness of your lights. All on the fly so you don’t have to hit pause on your off-road adventure.
Unlock the full spectrum of light control with our RGBW Bluetooth Controller and app!Simple Connections
For maximum convenience, Stage Series Rock Lights are available with either 10-inch bare wire leads, or an M8 barrel-style connector. The bare leads are a great option if you plan to wire them up yourself, while the M8 option provides a secure, waterproof connection and is compatible with our plug-and-play harnesses.
At only 8mm in diameter, it’s still easy to route the wires to where you need them. Up to 16 Rock Lights can be wired together, giving you plenty of ways to upgrade your off-road build!
Proven Reliability
We know your rock lights will be put to the test, so you can rest assured that they have been designed for superior durability.
They are IP68 waterproof rated and feature a cast aluminum housing and pin-fin heatsink, for effective thermal dissipation. This means they can be submerged in water up to 1.5 meters (almost five feet) for 30 minutes, and your lights won’t overheat or melt any of the materials around them.
The lens is designed with thick automotive-grade polycarbonate and a UV coating so you know it will stand up to the barrage of dust and rocks on the trail.
Backed by a limited 8-year warranty, our rock lights have been tested in-house from -40 to 185 degrees Fahrenheit, along with vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion testing.
Rest assured, the Stage Series Rock Lights will handle whatever you throw at them.
