An automotive light bar is an auxiliary lighting device which incorporates multiple light sources in one or more rows of watertight, weatherproof, ruggedly constructed assemblies. Light bars are one of the most versatile vehicle lighting products. They are used on all types of on-road and off-road vehicles to serve as driving lights, fog lights, daytime running lights, work lights or backup lights. The most important application of light bars is to serve as auxiliary driving lights that supplement high beam headlights. These linear fixtures are installed on the roof or front bumper of a vehicle to illuminate an area further and wider than the headlights are capable of.
Light bars are especially useful for higher cruising speeds and off-road terrains where they illuminate hazards and signs before they could be spotted with the original high beams only. They are often developed for the special requirements of off-road vehicles such as heavy-duty trucks, jeeps, four-wheelers, and utility vehicles which need to handle a variety of challenging environments from rugged terrain and unsurfaced roads to CCV trialing, rock crawling, cross-country off-roading, dune bashing, muddy courses and desert racing.
