    FAQ - About LED Lighting Products

    • Are light bars street legal?

      • It varies by state, as each state mandates their own lighting laws that will state what the rules are regarding auxiliary lighting. Some Aurora Off Road LED light bars may be SAE approved and E-marked approved but you should check with your states local ordinance to see if the led light can be used on the roadway.
      • Using light bars them on your off-road adventures is fine but when you get back onto the streets you need to turn them off, so you don’t blind the other drivers on the road. Off Brand does offer LED light bar covers as certain states require that the light bars be covered when your vehicle is driven on the road.

    • What can I use a LED light bar for?

      • Almost anything, these products are built to withstand abuse so the applications for usage can be for off-roading purposes or it can be just for the looks and occasionally deer spotting.

      • So if we break it down further, your Aurora LED Light bar will fail if you leave the LED product on continuously for 2,080 days or 5.7 years. 

    • What is the difference between raw and effective lumens? Is this important?

      • Raw Lumens is the amount of Lumens that the light is supposed to provide based of the initial products design. Effective Lumens is the amount of light that is actually produced after the LED light is fully assembled,
      • Poor design manufacturing and inferior components can cause an large difference between Raw Lumens and Effective Lumens.

    • What is the difference between a Single Row LED light bar and a Double Row LED light bar?

      • A single row LED light bar only has one row of LED's going across the product whereas a double row light bar as two rows of LED's going across the product.
      • As a tip, single row light bars are good where clearance will be an issue.

      • You can install LED lighting almost anywhere on your vehicle. The most popular place is above your windshield which will give you the best visibility result.
      • The second most popular spot is on your bumper which is probably the easiest place to mount them. And if you got some minor fabrication skills you can mount them in your front grille.
      • Pod & work lights can be easily installed on your bumper, on the lower windshield pillar, in your front grill or you can get special mounts to mount them to your roof rack.

      • Cheap LED Light Bars VS Aurora LED Light Bars

        • If you can get a 52" LED light bar plus a 20" inch LED light bar, and four 3" LED light cubes all for $99.99, it's almost certain that the items you are buying are poorly made junk. You can expect the life expectancy to be under a year and the primary failure mode will be moisture behind the lens causing the LED's to burn out prematurely.
        • You can also spot these products by their outrageous claims & Ads that are listed below
        • It's says it’s a limited time special of 50% off
          • If it was truly 50% off they would technically be making no money on the sale as typical retail margins are 50%.
          • My favorite is the $919 regular price and on sale for $159
        • You go to their website and instantly a coupon pops up saying you can get $10 off or 10% off your first order.
        • The pictures are not professional, meaning there is no white back drop and the pictures are taken in the grass, on a concrete sidewalk or on the back of a pickup truck.
