Combining thorough R&D, exceptional design, and a solid understanding of the off-road lifestyle, Borne Off-Road products are built to perform and endure in the toughest conditions.

Borne Off-Road's LED Light Bar Series

When the trail becomes dark or the weather takes a turn for the worse, Borne Off-Road’s new lineup of LED Light Bars ensures you’ll always have a clear view ahead. Available in 5 different sizes ranging from 10 inches to 50 inches in length, you can choose exactly what you need for your custom overland build . The smallest 10-inch model emits a powerful 3,780 raw lumens, while the largest 50-inch model produces an impressive 22,680 raw lumens, turning night into day with their vivid white 5700K color temperature. Each light bar features a combo spot/flood beam pattern, providing both long-range and wide-area illumination to ensure you can see both far and near obstacles clearly. Additionally, all of the light bars come equipped with low and high brightness modes, allowing you to adjust the light intensity based on your specific needs. Additionally, an integrated DRL (Daytime Running Light) can alternate between off, white, or amber, adding a distinctive touch to your vehicle’s exterior during the day. You'll also benefit from the IP68 rating which guarantees extreme protection against both dust and water, making these light bars a dependable choice for all weather conditions.

To complement the light bars, Borne Off-Road offers two wiring harness options designed to match the size of the light bars: one for 10-20 Inch Light Bars and another for 30-50 Inch Light Bars. These harnesses are length-specific to handle the different amp requirements of various light bar sizes. The harnesses come standard with two backlit intuitive rocker switches for ease of operation, allowing you to control your light bar with a simple flip of a switch. It's specifically engineered for less invasive drilling and easy wire routing, helping to simplify the overall installation process. It's important to note the light bar kits do come with wiring harnesses out of the box, but they require a more complex installation process compared to these upgraded wiring harnesses.

Borne Off-Road LED Light Pods

Borne Off-Road also two types of 3x3 LED light pods in their LED lineup, both designed to enhance your off-road adventures with exceptional illumination. The key difference between these pods lies in their beam patterns: Spot and Flood. Spot beam patterns focus light into a narrow, long-distance beam, ideal for high-speed driving where seeing far ahead is crucial. Conversely, flood beam patterns provide a wide, short-distance spread of light, perfect for illuminating a broad area during slower, more technical maneuvers. Each pod emits a powerful 4800 raw lumens of vivid white light at a 5700K color temperature, mimicking natural daylight to pierce through the night sky. These pods are equipped with OSRAM™ LEDs, which rated for an impressive 50,000 hours of operation! Better yet, the IP68 rating ensures robust protection against dust and water, making them durable enough to withstand the harshest environments. Included in the kit comes two light pods, a weatherproof wiring harness, and a backlit rocker switch for easy installation.

For those needing even more illumination, Borne Off-Road also offers a 7-inch Round LED Light Kit. Each light in this kit emits a powerful 5800 raw lumens, providing intense, daylight-like illumination with a 5700K color temperature. Similar to Borne's LED Light Bar Series, these round pods feature efficient and long-lasting OSRAM™ LEDs and come equipped with both low and high brightness modes, allowing you to adjust the lighting intensity for various applications. What sets these pods apart is the two-axis adjustability which allows for precise positioning, ensuring you can direct the light exactly where you need it. Additionally, the round pods feature DRL functionality which lets you alternate between off, white, or amber, adding a distinctive touch vehicle's exterior. Best of all, a snap-on cover protects the light pods from road debris, ensuring they stay in top condition for many years to come.

Borne Off-Road LED Rock Lights

Rock lights are the perfect upgrade for any off-road enthusiast who wants to illuminate the terrain beneath their vehicle, providing crucial visibility for navigating rocky trails, deep ruts, and other challenging obstacles. Borne Off-Road offers two variations of their LED Rock Lights: one with a short harness and one with a long harness, catering to different vehicle sizes and installation complexities. The Borne Off-Road Set of 4 Rock Lights with Long Harness is designed to enhance your off-road experience, ensuring that you can see every detail of the ground below. Each light in this set outputs a powerful 945 raw lumens through a flood beam pattern, creating a wide and bright area of illumination. The vivid white 5700K color temperature mimics daylight, offering optimal visibility for spotting hidden obstacles and planning your path with confidence. This particular kit comes with a 22ft wiring harness extension, which is ideal for larger vehicles or more complex installations where additional length is needed to reach all four corners of the vehicle. The longer harness provides the flexibility to route the wiring through more challenging paths, ensuring a clean and secure installation without the need for splicing or extensions.

On the other hand, the Borne Off-Road Set of 4 Rock Lights with Short Harness is perfect for off-highway vehicles (OHVs) and most standard automotive applications. This kit also delivers 945 raw lumens per light with a 5700K color temperature, ensuring excellent ground illumination. The 16ft wiring harness included in this set is suitable for smaller vehicles or straightforward installations where less length is sufficient. The shorter harness offers a more manageable installation process, reducing the risk of tangled wires and making it easier to route the wiring cleanly and securely.

Frequently Asked Questions:

How do I choose the right size LED light bar for my vehicle?

The size of the LED light bar you choose depends on your specific lighting needs and the available mounting space on your vehicle. Smaller light bars (10-20 inches) are great for targeted illumination, while larger bars (30-50 inches) offer broader, more comprehensive lighting coverage.

Can I install LED light bars and pods myself, or do I need professional help?

Many LED light bars and pods like the Borne Off-Road Series come with mounting brackets and wiring harnesses that make them relatively straightforward to install at home.

What is a DRL (Daytime Running Light) function, and is it important?

DRL stands for Daytime Running Light. It is a feature that allows the lights to be on during the day at a lower brightness to increase vehicle visibility. DRLs enhance safety by making your vehicle more noticeable to other drivers and can also add a distinctive look to your vehicle.

Are there specific regulations or laws regarding the use of LED lights on public roads?

Yes, there are regulations regarding the use of LED lights on public roads, which vary by region. It is important to check your local laws to ensure your LED lights are compliant.
