We saw first hand how awesome Diode Dynamics lights are when using the proper optics in extreme dust conditions at KOH this year. Simply amazing products.
I have a variety of DD Tech on 2 of my vehicles, and after almost 8 years with some of it, between the quality, support, care, and being just up the road from me, I fully support DD and their future products. Can't wait for my next purchase!
Thanks Paul. These videos are great. My SS30 is still shining bright after 7 years on the road in northern Canada! Looking forward to seeing the new products.
The cheapies simply blast high output light blinding oncoming drivers, which is why DOT has guidelines. . This company does a good job with headlights, as this video illustrates. It's different if you are running a combine in a cornfield.
True - the benefits are most noticeable at speed, while driving on or off-road. However, even in the field it's worth considering how much light is shining on the actual field, vs up into the sky where it is wasted. It may be helpful to shine that light in a very wide pattern to illuminate the whole field, rather than wasting it up or down. Of course, not as critical as racing, but seeing what you need to always makes the job easier.
Not only that, but DD has some of the best thermal regulation out there. While some may be “brighter” on initial startup, some will drop up to 50% initial output in just 30min. This is especially helpful for something like fog lights that are usually tucked inside the bumper with very little airflow.
Finally, some advice to not use Fog lights and why to limit the foreground light. Would be nice to add video which shows how a PnP LED in non-LED housing behaves and what an old milky reflector does to the light pattern.

great video - thank you I'm from Poland and I'm wondering how to modify the lenses (probably TIR) in the headlights, e.g. Ford Fusion full LED 2018, so that the low beam glows asymmetrically (EU regulations). It seems to me that the grooved plane visible in their lens would need to be modified. You have an idea?

Hello! Assuming you are asking about the bulkhead connector used on the Stage Series pods - this connector has not been tested to USCAR2 standards due to the lack of specific customer requirements, but we believe it would meet this standard if needed, probably with classification of T3 / S3 / V3. Please feel free to email us with any additional questions!
@@Leo-gt1bx TIR, meaning Total Internal Reflection, optics utilize the entire lens to create a very efficient beam pattern, with little to no light spill! There are no other reflectors in the housing past the optic itself.
@@diodedynamics Ah thanks. I have been been looking at custom making an integrated light for my bicycle but am struggling to decide on my optics. I am looking at using an emitter such as the SST 40 or XHP70. Any suggestions or products you make that would give bright throw/flood that can run off an 18650 3,7 cell?
DD is at the top of the game. Really appreciate the quality of your products and videos.
Agreed. I don’t bother buying lighting from anyone else for these reasons.
We appreciate your positive feedback and support! 💪

No better event to see our Stage Series lighting options perform in action than King of The Hammers! 🤘
So true!! They definitely performed amazing in the worst conditions one could imagine.
I just got a flashlight with TIR optics and wanted to learn more about how they worked, thanks for the great explanation!
Great video. I'm still blow away by how much light comes out of my SS3 pods.
Thank you for the support! We're glad to hear you are enjoying your SS3 pods!

Wow! We absolutely love to hear this. You rock, Joel!
Stay tuned for future product updates.

Love your lights. Best on the market, have several on my Colorado ZR2 for off roading trips.
Nice choice going with the Colorado ZR2 paired with our Stage Series lights! 😎

We can definitely pass that along!
Love my diode dynamics side markers on my Camaro!
We're so happy to hear you're loving our LED side markers. We take pride in each set we assemble in-house! 🛠️
Extremely educational👍👍
Thanks for the support!
Thanks! Good vid.
Very interesting and informative video. I have experience with all these lighting brands and it can be a lot of fun.
It's always nice to have an array of lighting options to suit your application! 💪
great video !!!
Thanks for the support! 💪💪
Absolutely love the optics of DD’s products. Running the stage series bars on two of my vehicles and several of our shop vehicles too.
Awesome! Thank you for the support! 🤘
I’d love to work for a company like this. Always had a fascination with LED’s. So happy that the technology has advanced as much as it has ☺️
Thank you for your support!! 💪🤝
Good video for knowledge
Thanks for the support!
Very nice video! Thanks DDynamics. You are number one, the second is Morimoto. This must be the American dream, see you
Thank you for the support! 🔥
How to focus 18mm circle led to 12mm hole in about 10mm from hole to led?

Are the TIR optics going to be implemented into the lightbars?
Hey! We do offer TIR optics in our lightbars, however they are smaller in size than the newer version offered on our pods. Stay tuned for updates!
Do the molded connector meet USCAR-2?

Are the TIR lenses plastic and which others are? Can plastic be used with the heat?
All of the optics we use are Automotive-grade Polycarbonate! Yes, they work great in both hot and cold temperatures!
@@diodedynamics Interesting thanks.
@@diodedynamics Do TIR lights have any form of reflector like a regular reflector light would have or is it all down to the lens?
