The Squadron Series: A Quick Overview

The Squadron series includes four main models, based on your needs and driving styles:

Each model is built with Baja Designs’ hallmark quality, including rugged aluminum housings, polycarbonate lenses, and advanced LED technology. They’re designed to withstand harsh environments while delivering unmatched performance.

Choosing the Right Squadron Light for Your Needs

When selecting a light, it’s important to consider how and where you’ll use it. The wide range of models and beam patterns ensures there’s a perfect match for everyone, from weekend warriors to daily commuters. Here’s a quick guide to help you decide:

For trail enthusiasts and overlanders, the Squadron Pro and Squadron Racer Edition are top choices. Their high lumen output and versatile beam patterns make them ideal for lighting up the darkest trails and providing long-distance visibility.

Street-Legal Applications

If you’re looking for enhanced lighting that complies with road regulations, the Squadron SAE is the way to go. Its beam pattern is designed to illuminate your path without blinding other drivers, ensuring safety and compliance.

Budget-Friendly Performance

For those who want reliable lighting at an affordable price, the Squadron Sport offers excellent performance. It’s perfect for auxiliary lighting or entry-level off-road use.

Worksite and Utility Lighting

When close-range visibility is critical, such as on a worksite, the Flood beam pattern provides smooth, even lighting. Pair it with the Squadron Pro or Squadron Sport for a powerful setup.
