Baja Designs Launches Squadron 2.0
Baja Designs, the leader in high-performance off-road lighting, announces the launch of the Squadron 2.0. Available in both Pro and Sport configurations, the Squadron 2.0 marks a generational leap over the original with dramatic performance gains, next-generation optics, and a ground-up redesign engineered for the demands of serious off-road use, delivering up to 73% increase in reach in light over the previous generation.
Complete Redesign
The Squadron 2.0 was engineered from the ground up, drawing inspiration from the iconic Squadron and taking it to the next level through aesthetics, performance and usability. The Squadron 2.0 Sport features an aggressive look, Hex Beam optics, Color-selectable backlight and new bracket design for increased vertical adjustability for precise aiming. Updated uService components include clip-in reflectors that stay secure during lens swaps and a new gasket design that improves sealing and long-term protection from the elements. A rugged 4-pin Deutsch-style connector replaces the previous standard for enhanced durability. Every detail has been upgraded while maintaining the proven reliability that defines Baja Designs.
Performance
The Squadron 2.0 Sport delivers confident, trail-ready illumination at 3,200 lumens, while the Pro throws 5,921 lumens down the road—more than the previous generation Squadron Racer, which was designed exclusively for high-speed desert racing—a 41% increase in output over its predecessor. Both configurations run on 12-36V systems and are available in harness and non-harness pair options.
Performance is validated through Baja Designs’ Effective Lighting Score (ELS), a four-part evaluation measuring real-world light quality beyond raw lumens and distance claims. The Squadron 2.0 scores higher across the board than its predecessor, delivering a smoother, more even beam that reduces eye strain and driver fatigue on long night runs.
Lens Pattern
The Squadron 2.0 expands lens options through Baja Designs’ proprietary ClearView optics system to illuminate specific lighting zones. Choose from Wide Cornering, Combo, Spot, Work/Scene, and 90-degree patterns, each available in Clear, Baja Amber, and Factory Amber, giving drivers full control over beam shape and light color for any condition. An improved uService gasket system makes swapping lenses on the fly faster and easier than ever.
Color-Selectable Backlight
The Squadron 2.0 features an integrated 9-color selectable backlight. Drivers can toggle between red, green, blue, magenta, cyan, amber, yellow, pink, and white, all configurable through the included harness. Color settings are retained when the light is powered off, so your setup is always ready when you are.
Vehicle-Specific Kits
With the launch of the Squadron 2.0, Baja Designs has taken the guesswork out of installation. Over 15 vehicle-specific, plug-and-play kits are available at launch, each including everything needed to mount and wire the Squadron 2.0 to your vehicle, from bolt-on brackets to plug-and-play wiring harnesses. More vehicle-specific kits will be in development to have as many options as possible. Spend less time in the garage and more time on the trail.
