Black Oak Turret Style 12W/20W OSRAM or 40W CREE LED Light Pod
Black Oak’s turret style pod lights are one of the brightest, toughest, most versatile high-power LED lights ever. They are available in an astonishing selection of 12 configurations of illumination power and beam patterns and fit any vehicle, UTV, ATV, tractor or heavy equipment in almost any location.
Their overall shape is a cube approximately 3.25 inches on a side, so they can nestle easily inside your vehicle’s bumper or trim. Off-road vehicles with a light mounting bar or roll bar can support several pods in a row to achieve custom illumination fields.
Each four-LED pod can be specified in 12W, 20W or 40W power levels using 3W OSRAM, 5W OSRAM or super-powerful 10W CREE XM-L2 LEDs, respectively. All Black Oak LED lights use only top-bin LEDs with maximum brightness, high efficiency and lifespans up to 50,000 hours. That is nearly six years of continuous on-time.
Black Oak’s LED pods offer four lens/reflector options that make them useful in a wide variety of applications.
- The spot configuration produces a narrow, long-range beam, whereas the flood beam illuminates a larger field of view with somewhat less depth.
- The amber lens are offered, which makes these turret style pods the best option for piercing fog or dust.
- Finally, a diffuse lens is offered for indoor applications that need wider, softer lighting.
Each pod’s mount allows 100 degrees of rotation, so you can adjust a single beam or pod array to exactly match the field of illumination you desire. This also makes them the ideal work site light when mounted on a stand for getting the light exactly where you need it the most.
As with all Black Oak LED lighting products, these pods are built to stand up to whatever tortuous conditions your environment has to offer. The LEDs and driver circuit are encased in a rugged, heavy-duty aluminum case that also provides a highly efficient heat sink.
Every pod has been designed and built with an IP69K intrusion rating and meets MIL810-STD requirements. They are backed by a 30-day cash-back guarantee and lifetime defect warranty.

Review
Whether you already have serious LED lighting on your recreational vehicle, car or commercial equipment or are new to LED lighting, these Black Oak LED pods are for you. Many buyers get these to add a portable, rotatable spot beam to their big light bar trail lights.
Highway drivers purchase the amber versions for super-penetrating fog lights mounted at or below bumper height. They are great starter lights too. The 3W version is easily affordable at under $50 and a pair will outperform any import mid-length light bar easily. The 10W CREE versions are absolutely retina-etchingly bright.
What most buyers love, besides the fantastic combination of high-quality and affordability, are the many options provided in brightness and beam patterns.
If you are a solar-power enthusiast, you will find the diffuse lens ideal for reliable indoor lighting that will last for many years. Whichever of the many configurations you choose, rest assured that the performance and quality of these pods will not disappoint.
Conclusion

Just because they are small does not mean that Black Oak skimped on materials, components or workmanship however. These are designed and built just as ruggedly as their biggest, dual-row LED light bars.
They will give many years of unflinching service, backed by a lifetime warranty and at an astonishingly high value-to-price ratio. You will not believe how affordable these industry-leading LED light pods are.
