We should never neglect the safety aspect when we practice our activity. Many off-road vehicle laws across Canada require to ride with headlights on at all times. The reason is simple, it helps to be highly visible for riders coming in the opposite direction. It is also a good idea to project more light in front of us to improve our visibility when night falls.
The addition of an LED bar on your vehicle can be performed by anyone without having a high level of skills. Most LED bar kits available on the market come with all the necessary wiring and hardware for quick and easy installation.
But before we start, we strongly recommend that you enquire about the off-road vehicle laws and regulations in your area, so you are aware of any spécial requirement or obligation regarding the use of an LED bar on your vehicle. Of course, common sense prevails so if you meet other users on a trail, you should turn off your LED bars so as not to blind them.
The acronym LED stands for “Light-Emitting Diode”. The main difference between an LED and a regular lamp is that the LED emits light in a specific direction using a semiconductor rather than a heated filament. In this way, the LED type of lamps uses electric current much more efficiently.
Ready to add an LED bar to your vehicle? Based on our past experiences, here is our recommendation for this project: Kimpex LED bar.
Kimpex offers a vast selection of LED light bars of various sizes meeting the highest standards in the industry. They are known to be durable and efficient, with a high rate of visible light (lumen) per watt used.
They also offer spot and flood combos for full lighting area and increased visibility. Their aluminum cases are impact resistant and are sealed to resist the elements. The 6000K white lighting is close to daylight for a perfect perception of shapes and color. All the necessary wiring and hardware are included to facilitate the installation with peace of mind.
Kimpex LED light bars are a logical choice for a high-quality product at a reasonable price, for all ATV and UTV enthusiasts who want to customize their vehicle and gain improved visibility on the trail.
Making the decision to purchase an LED projector is a good choice. However, it is necessary to provide a constant amount of electrons so that it has a good and steady supply. Learning how to correctly wire an LED bar ensures reliability and prevents unsafe operation or damage to your vehicle.
If you’re not too familiar with watts, amps, and volts, the easiest installation is to do a direct battery connection. We decided to plug our LED bar to the headlights circuitry, on the high beams. That way the LED bar will automatically turn off when we turn on the low beam. But before we do this, we need to do some calculations to check the fuse rating and current capacity of the headlights circuit.
In our case, we will install a Kimpex LED bar on a Can-Am Outlander that is already equipped with four 55 watts bulbs.
We will add to these an additional 72 watts LED bar. Taking for granted that the 4 headlights and the LED bar will all be turned on at the same time, we would get a total of 292 watts (72 watts + (55 watts x 4)). We also have to take into account the maximum voltage coming from the 12-volt battery which sits at about 12.6 volts.
Watts / Volts = Amps
292 watts / 12.6 volts = 23.2 amps (therefore a minimum fuse of 25A must be used). In our present case, the Can-Am Outlander already has a 30A fuse that protects the headlights circuit, which is more than enough to power the additional LED bar and to protect everything against overcurrent and short circuits.
Here are the steps to make a safe LED bar installation:1- Neutralize the energy source. Your vehicle’s battery might seem harmless, but it is a potentially life-threatening storehouse of electrons looking for a way out at the speed of light. Therefore, always disconnect the ground terminal (negative) from the battery first.
This greatly reduces the risks of a short circuit. Second, disconnect the positive terminal.
2- Find a suitable mounting location that will allow the LED bar to be installed and the wires to pass through. You can use the mounting hardware supplied with the light bar as well as optional round tube brackets (sold separately). We opted for an installation on the front bumper for convenience. Fit it all up being careful not to fully tighten the hardware, as you will probably need to make a final adjustment at the last step.
3- Determine the exact place from where you will get your 12 volts supply. For our part, we spliced the 2 wires connected to a quick connection carrying the power to one of the headlights.
4- Secure your wiring using zip ties, making sure to avoid heat sources and moving parts. Keep in mind that prolonged rubbing of the wires against metal parts can cause a short circuit. Generally, running along the existing vehicle’s wiring is a safe path to follow.
5- A safe installation would require a relay. A relay is an electromechanical or electronic device by which a heavy electrical load can be turned on and off with a small current input. Aside from switching a heavy load, a relay is needed to conserve energy, extend the life of a device, and improve its efficiency. For example take the switching of 2 headlights: if they are activated by a normal switch, the voltage drop from the battery to the lamps through the switch will be huge, and the heat generated in the circuit due to the resistance will be considerable. The heavy current will be drawn by the lamps which will not only heat the circuit but also heavily drain the battery at the same time.
* To ensure full control of your LED bar, we recommend the installation of a control switch as an integral part of your installation. For our part, we have simplified our circuitry by using the hi / lo beam switch.
6- When the previous steps are completed and the wiring has been routed to the LED bar, all you have to do is make the final connection using the quick connect.
7- Finally, reconnect the positive terminal to the battery first, followed by the negative. Activate the high beam switch to check your connection and installation. At this stage, proceed with the final tightening of the LED bar hardware.
The installation of an LED bar may vary depending on the vehicle and the power source used. Customization like the one we have just done requires little planning and can be accomplished very easily.
In conclusion, adding an LED light bar is an inexpensive improvement compared to the benefits it provides. Our night rides are much safer now and this increased visibility is greatly appreciated during our ATV riding activity.

LED bar for ATV. Auxiliary light for ATV.
ATV LED headlight selection
Any ATV owner already after the first season of operation, and often even earlier, thinks about installing additional headlights on an ATV. The best solution is to install LED headlights on an ATV. And if you decide to buy LED headlights for an ATV, then we always have a large assortment of LOYO LED headlights for ATVs of any brand (CF MOTO, Russkaya Mekhannika, BRP, Suzuki, Yamaha, Kawasaki, CECTEK, Balt Motors and others).
Why LED ATV headlights?
LED ATV optics have many advantages.
Why LED bars?
The answer is simple - the price. An LED beam is a headlight in which the LEDs are arranged in a row, in one or two. The cost of a beam compared to a conventional headlight, per unit of power, is cheaper. Therefore, I recommend LED beams for installation on ATVs.
ATV LED headlight model selection.
What kind of headlights from a large assortment to choose for your ATV? I wrote a short article about this.
Auxiliary lights are usually mounted on the front rack or bumper of the ATV. Consider two options for headlights. The first is basic or you can also call it budget. Here I will offer a choice of two inexpensive ATV headlights that most ATVs install. They have the minimum required luminous flux and are suitable for absolutely all ATVs in size.
And the second version of LED headlights for ATV - let's call it Premium. These are headlights of increased power and light output for discerning buyers who, like me, believe that there is never enough light.
So, the basic version of the headlights.
Here I offer two headlights to choose from. Or a two-row LED beam for the ATV LOYO CLASSIC C72 with a power of 72 W, this headlight has side mounts.
Can be screwed both to the platform and to the tube of the ATV trunk.
I will tell you how to connect these headlights at the end of the article.
Headlights for extra power for installation on ATV
In this category, the choice of headlights is much wider. I will talk about the 3 most popular models from LOYO with a power of more than 100 watts that can be put on an ATV.
You shouldn't be afraid of 100 W power, nothing will happen to the ATV generator from such power. Why? I will answer simply - imagine how much an electric winch consumes. From it, the generator does not get worse.
Model 1 . 100 watt headlights Loyo Master Slim 68100
LED FARD for ATV and UTV Loyo Master Slim 68100
Farah for 436 mm long can be easily installed on a trunk or ATV bamper. It is also possible to install these headlights on all-terrain vehicles UTVs. The headlight is well waterproof and is not afraid of immersion under water.
Model 2 . 120 watt double row beam for ATV LOYO Master 88120
Two-row model with 10 watt CREE diodes placed in 2 rows allows you to make the headlight housing quite compact and easily place it on an ATV. The length of the headlight is only 280 mm.
Model 3 . 120 W, two rows of LEDs, LOYO Classic C120
Same 120 W as the previous model, BUT this headlight is made on 3W CREE LEDs, which made it cheaper with the same quality of light. Due to the larger number of LEDs, the length of the headlight is increased to 550 mm, but this also allows you to install the headlight on an ATV without any problems.
In general, there is a full range of LED headlights - https://wesem-light.ru/category/svyetodiodnyye-fary...
Buy LOYO LED headlights. Quality, reliability, guarantee. And of course - delivery to any region of Russia.
Lights for rear installation
Many ATV owners install reverse lights on their ATV.
And it is right! I strongly support!
A small dipped headlight or work light can be installed on the back of the ATV. I would recommend two models from the LOYO range for this. These are small headlights that can be easily placed under or on the trunk of an ATV without getting in the way.
LOYO WORK 8018B and LOYO Mini 8018A
Model LOYO WORK 8018B or LOYO Mini 8018A Flood. Choose whichever one you like best.
And a little about connecting
IMPORTANT!
Any additional consumers must be connected to a separate circuit and this circuit must be protected by a fuse. This is an axiom and a fundamental rule of electricians, which must not be violated. At all! Never. Connecting an additional headlight for an ATV only through a fuse and relay! Otherwise.... Bow
Led beam, chandelier, lightbar - all these are the names of the same optical device designed for additional lighting at night.
The optics is mounted with a bracket on the roof, trunk or car kenguryatnik. You can also install a chandelier on special equipment, water and freight transport.
The shape of the diode beams are:
single row;
double row;
straight;
curved.
According to the types of lighting, they are divided into: near, far and combined light . And also, there are lined and reflex lightbars .
The law of the Russian Federation does not prohibit the connection of all types of LED optics to a car. The main thing to remember is that high-beam lighting should not be used on public roads, i.
e. they can blind the oncoming direction. The exception is products with the ability to switch between light modes.
Differences between different types of LED bars
Light bars differ in appearance, range and viewing angle. Depending on the number of watts, the power of the light flux changes.
Far (spot) - has a narrow directional beam, an angle of 30 degrees. Illuminate a long distance. Depending on the power, they can create visibility at a distance of 300 meters.
Near (flood) - distributes light by 60 degrees. They give a good view on the sides, but the range is lower.
Combined (combo) - combine the first two by combining lenses at the edges and reflectors in the middle..png)
Such optics are usually in great demand among SUV owners.
Such illumination is suitable for those places where the range is not particularly needed. For example, when driving off-road. Chandeliers with a straight design give a more focused light, allowing you to illuminate a greater distance ahead.
The absence of fragile elements saves diode beams from breakage during strong shaking while the vehicle is moving.
