Lighting

We've been lighting fans since day one, back in the days of KC's on a chrome roll bar in the back of a mini truck.  But times have changed, and we've witnessed a serious evolution in light technology, power usage, and pricing.  Today, it's possible to get something that puts out more light than your high beams, consumes less power than your stereo, is small and unobtrusive, and weighs less than the change in your ashtray. 

That said, we’re not light experts, nor do we aim to offer a comprehensive set of options.  We instead simply offer the benefit of our experience, with what we learned from experimenting with several aftermarket lights over the years.  .  

custom light bars

We can make your Gamiviti rack work with just about any light bar out there. When designing your rack, just send us a link to the model of light bar you have, usually that is enough to get the proper dimensions and mounting locations. You can also send us your light bar, then have it returned to you with your rack. Additional costs may incur based on the complexity of you want, but it is almost all possible, here are some sample images of both stock and custom solutions… click on any thumb for a larger version.

Reverse lights

Our most popular light is the 18w reverse light, typically 2 on the back of the rack.  The low profile means they can go underneath the rack, protecting the light while leaving the top open for gear. They can also be mounted on the side of the rack, providing a great solution for emergency or camp lighting. These even work great behind awnings, or behind your open hatch, as when it’s dark at camp you really don’t need a bright light blasting you in the face- there’s still plenty of light in the shadow for milling about in the evening. Mounted below the rack, these lights are out of the way all of the time, providing light when you need it.

Light harnesses

We also stock a light harness if you need a little head start getting your lights hooked up. These bolt directly to your battery, the switch triggers a relay which directs the power from your battery to your light(s). In most cases we install light bars and driving lights to the primary vehicle battery, and reverse/side/camp lights to the secondary battery, but either one works and a second battery is not a requirement. Switches come labeled either “light bar” or “rear lights” as shown below, and can be illuminated when not in use, or dark when not in use, your choice. Harnesses are $25, and shipping is free when we add this to your rack package.
