DETAILS

Overview

Long range light, built for Aussie tracks

The Apex 8.5" is a pair of 220 mm round LED driving lights tuned for distance. A hyper spot reflector puts 1 lux of light 1,786 m down the road, so you see roos, cattle and bends well before you reach them.

33 Osram high-output LEDs per light, a built-in backlit DRL, 9-32 V input, IP69K sealing and 316 stainless steel brackets make them a set-and-forget upgrade for touring rigs, work utes and trucks.

Sealed, quiet and tough

The Apex 8.5" is IP69K rated: fully dust tight, waterproof to 3 m and safe to clean with a high-pressure, high-temperature wash. A Gore breather stops condensation forming behind the lens, and CISPR Class 3 certification means no hiss on your UHF or radio.

✓Lens: GE Lexan polycarbonate that will not crack or shatter
✓Finish: Dupont powdercoat so the colour won’t fade
✓Power: 9-32 V DC input suits 12 V and 24 V vehicles

Mounting

They're not going anywhere

Each light sits on an extra heavy-duty 5 mm 316 marine-grade stainless steel bracket with a three-point mount, so it holds its aim on rough roads. Torx anti-theft security bolts make them harder to pinch.

Size: 220 mm across, 233 mm tall and 100 mm deep including the bracket.
