Applications
Black Oak’s D-Series 40-inch LED light bar is utilized in a wide variety of recreational, highway, marine and commercial applications:
Off-road, it is extremely popular as a windshield or cab-mounted primary driving light for deep and broad penetration on dark trails. It is ideal for hazard/game spotting and providing full-daylight to campsites.
Boat owners, both recreational and commercial, use the 40-inch D-Series to light up waterways, illuminate landing beaches and for docking operations.
EMS and highway maintenance vehicles use this light bar for scene illumination on the darkest roads.
For illuminating job sites, industrial areas or mining operations, multiple 40-inchers are excellent for providing 360 degrees of illumination. With its 16A current draw, it can be run from batteries easily.

Black Oak LED 40 Inch D-Series Review
Unpack this second-longest light bar from Black Oak and instantly feel the quality that goes into it. Black Oak has not skimped anywhere on the build, which includes 44 stainless steel fasteners holding in the custom-sealed Lexan lens. It never needs re-sealing as is common practice with imported light bars.
Look carefully for the 20 separate LED modules with four LEDs each. Its modular construction ensures that if one module goes down, the rest stay lit. Black Oak only uses the highest quality LEDs and driver circuits, so your light bar always runs at optimal brightness under a wide range of input voltages. Cheap light bars cheat here, which is the main reason they are dimmer and fail so quickly.
The only drawback we see with this light bar is the single mounting option. Yes, the end brackets are super rugged and vertical beam adjustment without tools is cool, but Black Oak should add a mounting channel to provide additional versatility especially for boats and commercial equipment.
Our Verdict: |
Finally, you have a choice in LED light bars that provides both quality and economy. For hundreds of dollars less than the cost of a 40 inch LED light bar from biggest names in the industry, you can enjoy the same durability, longevity and high performance with a Black Oak D-Series 40-inch light bar. It is the only way to get the most bang for your vehicle lighting buck.
For this light bar length, we have no compunctions giving it our best rating: 5 out of 5 stars.
