Collection: 6 Inch LED Light Bars - Fog Lights & Compact Utility Lights

---

7,900+ Lumens. Fits Anywhere.

The 6-inch series is our most versatile utility light. Small enough to fit in bumpers, grilles, and reverse mounts, but powerful enough to output 7,920 lumens in double row configuration. Whether you need amber fog lights for your truck or diffused deck lights for your boat, these compact bars fit where the big ones won't.

Our Pro Series 3.0 6-inch light bars deliver professional-grade performance in the most compact package possible. With OSRAM and CREE LEDs producing up to 7,920 lumens in a 6-inch footprint, these bars prove that power doesn't require size. Perfect for fog light replacements, ditch lights, work trucks, ATVs, and marine applications where mounting space is limited but lighting performance cannot be compromised.

Application Guide: Where 6-Inch Bars Excel

Fog Light Replacement Systems

Replace factory fog lights with professional-grade LED performance. The 6-inch form factor drops directly into OEM fog light housings on popular trucks like the F-150, Silverado, Ram 1500, and Tacoma. Our amber lens options provide proper fog light spectrum while delivering significantly more light than stock halogen bulbs.

Why 6-inch for fog lights: The compact size allows mounting in factory locations without modifications, while single row bars maintain the low-profile appearance of OEM fog lights.

Ditch Light Systems

Hood hinge and A-pillar mounting positions benefit from the 6-inch compact design. These lights provide forward and side illumination without the bulk of larger bars, making them perfect for JK Wrangler ditch light kits and truck hood hinge applications.

Single row advantage: The 1.8-inch height of single row bars creates a clean, unobtrusive appearance while still delivering 3,960 lumens of usable light.

Reverse and Backup Lighting

Rear bumper applications require wide coverage without excessive throw distance. The 6-inch diffused double row configuration spreads 7,920 lumens across a 150-degree pattern, perfectly illuminating the area immediately behind work trucks, trailers, and recreational vehicles.

Diffused beam benefit: Unlike spot patterns that create hot spots and dark areas, diffused optics distribute light evenly for safer backing operations.

ATV and UTV Applications

Handlebar and brush guard mounting on ATVs and UTVs requires compact lights that don't interfere with steering or add excessive weight. The 6-inch bars mount securely to handlebars and provide ample illumination for trail riding without the bulk of 10-inch or larger bars.

Weight consideration: Single row bars weigh just 1.6 lbs, making them ideal for handlebar mounting where weight and wind resistance matter.

Marine Spreader Lights

T-top and hardtop mounting positions on boats benefit from the compact 6-inch footprint. Marine-rated versions with enhanced corrosion resistance provide deck illumination, spreader light functionality, and docking assistance without requiring the mounting space of larger bars.

Marine advantage: IP69K waterproof rating with saltwater-resistant construction survives harsh offshore conditions that destroy lesser lights within months.

Understanding Beam Patterns: Choosing the Right Optics

Spot Pattern (30° Beam Spread)

Distance: 400-500 yards effective range
Applications: Ditch lights, high-speed trail riding, long-range visibility
Mounting: A-pillar, hood hinges, front bumper cowl

Spot optics concentrate light into a focused beam that reaches incredible distances. The narrow 30-degree spread means less peripheral illumination but significantly greater throw distance than flood patterns.

Flood Pattern (120° Beam Spread)

Distance: 100-150 yards effective range
Applications: Bumper mounting, work lights, backup lights
Mounting: Front bumper, rear bumper, work truck beds

Flood optics spread light wide for close-range coverage. The 120-degree pattern illuminates work areas, camp sites, and provides excellent peripheral visibility for navigating tight trails or backing up.

Diffused Pattern (150° Beam Spread)

Distance: 20-50 yards effective range
Applications: Reverse lights, deck lights, camp lighting
Mounting: Rear bumpers, marine decks, trailer tongues

Diffused optics create the widest possible light spread with minimal hot spots. This pattern works perfectly for applications requiring even illumination across a broad area at close range.

Combo Pattern (60° Beam Spread)

Distance: 200-300 yards effective range
Applications: General purpose, fog lights, auxiliary lighting
Mounting: Any position requiring balanced performance

Combo optics balance spot and flood characteristics with center LEDs in spot configuration and outer LEDs in flood. This versatile pattern suits most applications where both distance and width matter.

Single Row vs Double Row: Selecting the Right Configuration

Single Row Advantages

The single row configuration delivers 3,960 lumens in a remarkably slim 1.8-inch profile. This makes single row bars ideal for applications where appearance matters and mounting space is extremely limited. Fog light replacements, motorcycle applications, and anywhere you need powerful light without calling attention to the source.

Weight matters: At just 1.6 lbs, single row bars work for weight-sensitive applications like ATV handlebars and small boat T-tops where every pound counts.

Double Row Advantages

Double row bars produce 7,920 lumens—exactly double the single row output. The additional LED row means more light and better heat distribution through the larger aluminum housing. When maximum brightness matters and the slightly taller 3.0-inch profile fits your mounting location, double row delivers superior performance.

Heat dissipation advantage: Larger housings spread heat across more aluminum surface area, extending LED lifespan and maintaining consistent output during extended use.

Pro Series 3.0 Technology: Why BlackOakLED Outperforms

Top-Bin OSRAM and CREE LEDs

We use exclusively top-bin OSRAM LEDs from Austria and CREE LEDs from the USA. Top-bin selection means only the highest efficiency LEDs make it into our products—those producing maximum lumens per watt with superior color consistency and longest lifespan.

What top-bin means: LED manufacturers sort chips by performance. Top-bin LEDs represent the highest 10% of production, delivering 15-20% more light than standard-bin alternatives while producing less heat.

IP69K Waterproof Rating

The highest international waterproof standard. IP69K certification means our lights survive high-pressure, high-temperature water jets at close range. Most competitors use IP67 (submersion to 1 meter) or IP68 (continuous submersion). IP69K exceeds both standards with additional protection against pressurized water and steam.

Real-world advantage: IP69K lights survive pressure washing, ocean spray, extreme weather, and complete submersion. Lesser-rated lights develop corrosion and water intrusion within the first season.

Military-Grade Construction (MIL-STD-810)

Our housings meet military environmental testing standards for shock, vibration, temperature extremes, and environmental exposure. The same standards applied to equipment deployed in combat zones ensure your lights function reliably regardless of conditions.

Vibration testing: Lights withstand continuous vibration testing that simulates years of off-road use, ensuring secure mounting and LED integrity even on rough terrain.

Integrated Thermal Management

Oversized aluminum heat sinks with integrated cooling fins dissipate heat efficiently, preventing thermal degradation that reduces LED lifespan and output. Proper thermal management is the difference between lights that last 50,000 hours and those that fail within 5,000.

Temperature monitoring: We test lights at sustained full power for extended periods to ensure thermal performance meets our 50,000-hour lifespan standards under real-world conditions.

Ceramic UV Protection

360-degree ceramic coating protects against UV degradation, saltwater corrosion, and environmental exposure. While competitors' lights yellow and degrade within a season, our ceramic protection maintains optical clarity and housing integrity for decades.

Saltwater resistance: Ceramic coating creates a chemical barrier against salt spray and ocean exposure that would corrode unprotected aluminum within months.

Installation Considerations: Mounting and Wiring

Mounting Requirements

The 6-inch bars ship with adjustable stainless steel mounting brackets suitable for flat or curved surfaces. Bracket-to-bracket width measures 9 inches, allowing installation in fog light housings, grille openings, and most universal mounting positions.

Critical measurement: Confirm you have 9 inches of horizontal space for bracket mounting. The light itself measures 6 inches, but brackets extend approximately 1.5 inches on each side.

Wiring Best Practices

Run wiring through grommets in the firewall or existing wire harnesses to avoid chafing and damage. Route wires away from heat sources like exhaust manifolds and sharp metal edges that could cut through insulation.

Fuse location: Install the inline fuse within 18 inches of the battery connection to protect wiring in case of a short circuit.

Voltage Compatibility

The 10-30V DC operating range makes these lights compatible with:

• 12V automotive systems (cars, trucks, ATVs, motorcycles)
• 24V commercial systems (heavy equipment, commercial trucks)
• Marine systems (12V and 24V configurations)

No special equipment needed: Direct connection to 12V or 24V systems without voltage converters or special wiring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are 6-inch LED light bars bright enough for serious off-road use?

Yes. The 6-inch double row configuration produces 7,920 lumens—comparable to many 10-inch bars from other manufacturers. Our top-bin OSRAM LEDs and optimized reflector design deliver exceptional light output in a compact package. For comparison, most factory off-road vehicle headlights produce 2,000-3,000 lumens combined. A single 6-inch double row bar nearly triples that output.

Which vehicles can use 6-inch LED bars as fog light replacements?

The 6-inch single row bars work as direct fog light replacements on most trucks and SUVs, including F-150, F-250, Silverado 1500, Ram 1500, Ram 2500, Tacoma, and 4Runner. The 9-inch bracket-to-bracket dimension fits most OEM fog light openings, and the low-profile 1.8-inch height maintains stock appearance.

How do 6-inch bars compare to larger 20-inch or 30-inch light bars?

The 6-inch bars excel where mounting space is limited and stealth appearance matters. While a 20-inch bar produces significantly more lumens (27,500), the 6-inch bars provide 7,920 lumens in a package that fits fog light housings, handlebars, and compact mounting positions. For ditch lights, fog lights, and auxiliary lighting, 6-inch bars offer the best balance of output and size.

Can I use LED light bars as primary headlights on public roads?

LED light bars are designed for off-road and auxiliary use, not as primary headlights. While our lights produce more than enough light for driving, they lack the beam pattern certification required for on-road headlight use. Use light bars as auxiliary lights (with headlights), or in off-road and private property applications.

Do these lights work with 12V and 24V electrical systems?

Yes. The 10-30V DC operating range accommodates both 12V automotive systems and 24V commercial vehicle systems. No special wiring or voltage converters required—connect directly to your vehicle's electrical system. This makes them ideal for heavy equipment, commercial trucks, and any 24V application alongside standard 12V vehicles.

How difficult is installation for someone with basic mechanical skills?

Most installations take 2-3 hours with basic hand tools. The included wiring harness has color-coded wires, the relay comes pre-wired, and detailed instructions guide you through mounting and electrical connections. If you can mount brackets and connect battery terminals, you can install these lights. For specific vehicle installations, call our support team at 1-800-348-1287 for guidance.
