Diode Dynamics C2 2.0: The Next Generation of Compact Off-Road Lighting 

The C2 2.0 from Diode Dynamics is the latest evolution of the brand’s compact LED pod lineup. With up to 3,900 lumens of output, the C2 2.0 now stands as the brightest 2-inch pod on the market—designed, engineered, tested and built in the USA. Backed by cutting-edge optical engineering and unmatched build quality, it’s the ideal solution for auxiliary lighting in tight spaces. 

Three Power Levels, Multiple Beam Patterns 

Offered in Sport, Pro and the new Max power level, the C2 2.0 delivers up to 120% more intensity than the original SSC2 it replaces. Each model features proprietary TIR optics and custom-engineered beam patterns designed for real-world performance. 

Available beam patterns include Spot, Flood, SAE Fog/Wide, SAE Driving, and a newly redesigned Combo/Driving pattern that delivers a balanced 55×20° rectangular beam—ideal for visibility both downrange and to the sides. Output colors include White or Selective Yellow, with SAE-compliant options for road-legal use on select models. 

Compact Size, Big Possibilities 

Thanks to its small form factor, the C2 2.0 is perfect for applications where space is limited but output still matters—such as bumpers, grille openings, roof racks, bed racks or A-pillar mounts. The housing has been redesigned with improved thermal management and a cleaner front face, while maintaining the rugged construction customers expect for demanding off-road use. 

Every kit includes a universal bracket, and the C2 2.0 is also CrossLink-compatible—making it easy to create custom linked arrays for roof racks or chase light setups using Diode’s modular CrossLink system. 

A Full Stage Series Lineup—And More 

The C2 2.0 joins a full range of LED pods in Diode Dynamics’ Stage Series lineup, which includes: 

• SSC1: A compact single-LED pod for auxiliary lighting in tight locations 
• SS3: A go-to solution for fog light and ditch light upgrades, available with SAE options 
• SS5: A high-output 5-inch pod delivering maximum intensity for long-range lighting 

Beyond pods, Diode Dynamics also offers a complete range of off-road lighting solutions, including LED lightbars, rock lights and universal accessories—engineered for real performance and backed by U.S.-based support. 

Vehicle-Specific Kits Ready to Go 

Diode Dynamics supports hundreds of applications across the automotive market with vehicle-specific mounting brackets and harnesses. From direct-replacement fog light kits to off-road ditch lights and bumpers, dealers can count on an expanding lineup of complete solutions designed for a clean fit and easy install. 

Built in the USA. Backed for Life

The C2 2.0 is proudly built in the USA at Diode Dynamics’ St. Louis, Missouri, facility, with in-house SMT circuit board population, final assembly and testing. Every pod is backed by a limited lifetime warranty and U.S.-based customer support.
