Being on the trail, you need your lights to work no matter what the conditions are. From heavy rain to being submerged in water, to dust storm conditions or snow, you need to know that your performance LED lights can withstand the elements while being up to the adventure. At Baja Designs making sure every light we produce works in the worst of conditions is the core of our exclusive MoistureBlock® technology.
The ingress of moisture working its way into your light can cause severe damage to the internals such as reflectors, LEDs or worse creating a short that renders your lights less effective on the trails. Making sure the elements don’t damage the internals of your performance lights first starts with our use of O-ring seals at key areas where moisture or dirt can get into. O-rings have been around for a while, and for good reason. They are considerably more effective at blocking moisture and dust than that bead of silicone often seen in lower quality lights. Also, with IP69K and Mil-Std810 compliance, you do not have to worry about submerging our lights when fording that river. Using O-rings allows our lights to be totally serviceable, thanks to Baja Designs’ uService® technology. This feature allows you to customize our lights with several of our lens kits to match your lighting needs.
What is IP69K?The highest rating one could possibly achieve is IP69K. This superior IP rating is complete protection from total dust ingress and protection from steam-jet cleaning (water temperatures up to176 degrees Fahrenheit). IP – International Protection All Baja Designs products go through rigorous testing to be classified as IP69K. The test consist of:
All this testing to be classified to the highest level means that no matter what Baja Designs light you choose, it will work wherever you go! *Note: If you cut past the Moisture block, your light will lose it’s IP69 Rating! |
Second, our engineers solved the issue of water working its way up the cord and into the light with BD’s proprietary MoistureBlock® system. Using our proprietary cord, the MoistureBlock® system consists of three joints in the light’s cable that are molded over in plastic. The joints block the water from penetrating further, preventing damage to your lights. Even if you cut the connector off, your light will still be waterproof! This is unique to all Baja Designs lights and provides peace of mind while on the trails.
