Diode Dynamics Brings Power & Control With New Stage Series Lightbars

The next generation of Stage Series Lightbars has arrived. With higher efficiency, more power and greater control, Diode Dynamics delivers the most complete lightbar lineup yet.

When Diode Dynamics first unveiled the new Stage Series Lightbars at SEMA 2024, they immediately caught attention. Shops and enthusiasts alike have been waiting for their release, and now the next generation of one of the company’s most popular product lines is finally here.

This is a ground-up redesign of the Stage Series Lightbar, engineered with more power, more control and more options than ever before, making it one of the most complete lighting solutions available to shops today.

Built for the Real World

Every Stage Series Lightbar is designed, engineered and built in-house at Diode Dynamics’ facility in St. Louis. Both the Standard and SmartSelect models share the same rugged foundation: aluminum housings, pin-fin heat sinks, IP69K waterproofing and Diode’s signature ICO bezel. They are backed by a limited lifetime warranty, giving shops confidence when recommending them to customers.

The lineup now includes five sizes: 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 inches, allowing installers to cover the full range of bumper, grille and rack applications.

Efficiency That Performs

At the heart of the new Stage Series Lightbars are Diode Dynamics’ patented TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optics. Unlike reflector-based designs that scatter light, TIR captures nearly all of it and directs it precisely where it is needed. For consumers, that means brighter, more focused output without wasted glare. For shops, it means an easier story to tell: more usable light, less wasted power.

The lineup is also available in three power levels to fit different needs and budgets. The Sport model delivers excellent efficiency and performance at the most accessible price point. Pro takes things further with a noticeable boost in total output, making it the most popular choice for serious off-road use. And Max, available on the SS10, uses the same Osram Boost HX LEDs found in Diode Dynamics’ highest-output pods to deliver unmatched intensity in a compact form.

The numbers back it up. The SS50 Pro Spot delivers more than 62,000 lumens and peaks at over one million candela, shining an incredible 1.25 miles at 1/4 lux. Performance like this is unmatched in its class. Across the board, the new Stage Series Lightbars deliver industry-leading efficiency, with more lumens-per-watt and more lumens-per-dollar than competing options.

Standard vs. SmartSelect

Both Standard and SmartSelect models share identical performance, but the key differences help shops position an easy step-up story.

• Standard includes a clean amber backlight, always on when powered. It is the straightforward option for customers who want maximum output with no extra features.
  
• SmartSelect adds a selectable multicolor backlight with eight colors (including a true amber) and a dynamic startup sequence. On bars 30 inches and larger, SmartSelect also unlocks control of the main beam itself, allowing drivers to toggle between inner sections, outer sections or the full bar with no extra wiring required.

For installers, that means a clear upsell: customers can choose the simplicity of Standard, or step up to SmartSelect for advanced functionality.

Configurability and Accessories

The new Stage Series Lightbars also support Diode Dynamics’ CrossLink system, giving shops the ability to offer linkable, custom setups. All models use 6000K white emitters with interchangeable lenses, so customers can easily swap to yellow output later if needed.

For the first time, Diode Dynamics has also introduced snap-on covers for the lightbars, available in multiple colors. This gives shops another easy add-on sale. And for customers building a full lighting package, Stage Series Lightbars pair seamlessly with Diode’s D-Switch controller, C2 2.0 pods, and rock lights to create a complete system.

The Dealer Advantage

For shops, the new Stage Series Lightbars are more than just another lightbar option. They are a way to offer customers a product that outperforms the competition in efficiency, output and value, all with the support of a trusted U.S. manufacturer.

The anticipation since SEMA has been huge, and now shops have the opportunity to deliver. Whether your customer is a weekend overlander, a desert racer or simply looking for a serious lighting upgrade, the new Stage Series Lightbars offer a solution built for them.
