Applications
Typically, the six-inch S-Series light bars are used in pairs on the front of highway or off-road vehicles to provide trail or road illumination. Often, they provide more light than stock headlights.
They are a bit bright for use inside boat cabins, but make excellent deck lights. Due to their short length, they are easy to mount as rotatable navigation or docking lights.
Heavy-equipment operators use these in pairs both forward and backward for auxiliary lighting.
These compact light bars mount easily on tripods for lighting up construction sites.
The S-Series six-inch bars make perfect takedown or alley lights on police cars.
ATVs or UTVs often mount one forward and one backward to increase trail visibility and make their vehicle highly visible to others.
What’s in the Box?
Every Black Oak S-Series LED light bar includes all the mounting hardware, so you can put them on as soon as you open the box. Each light bar comes with a complete IP69K-rated wiring harness that includes cable, relay, switch and fuse and instructions. There is no need for trips to the hardware store to perform a professional installation.
Review
Black Oak’s six-inch, single-row light bar puts out an incredibly bright beam for its size. Off-road, these single-row lights outshine even double-row non-US imitation light bars. At under $100, many buyers get half a dozen of these rugged, capable beams for mounting around their vehicle or boat. Flood beam versions are put to work frequently on job sites either mounted on tripods or truck racks. At less than a 3A draw from each light bar, they are kind to vehicle batteries.
As soon as you take this light bar out of the box, you can literally feel the quality that goes into it. Black Oak only uses top-quality components, circuitry and military-grade air equalization vents so you will not see any interior fogging. The cable length on the wiring harness is more than generous enough for most vehicle installations. You can have a pair of these mounted and wired in an hour or two.
No manufacturer has a higher waterproof/dust proof rating than these light bars offer. The housing and lens can take anything the trail or weather can dish out. It is a shame, as many light bar reviews have pointed out, that Black Oak does not offer the S-Series with amber LEDs so they could be used as fog lights.
Conclusion
Why waste your money and time on dimmer, imported light bars when you can buy Black Oak top-tier quality 6 inch LED light bar that cost far less than the biggest, most expensive light bar brands out there with equal performance?
The six-inch S-Series light bars are built so well that they will very likely outlast your vehicle. Furthermore, they are so compact, bright and affordable that you will surely find plenty of other uses for them after buying your first pair.
