The SS5 CrossLink Lightbar from Diode Dynamics delivers extreme long-range output and modular flexibility in a rugged 37.5-inch configuration. Using patent-pending CrossLink technology, this system links six SS5 5-inch LED pods into a single ultra-rigid lightbar, producing some of the highest intensity output available in a pod-based system. Built with advanced TIR optics and torture-tested construction, it’s engineered for high-speed driving, off-road use, and demanding environments.
