| Baja
Designs lives and breathes off-road racing and our lights
are all about off-road driving. Our engineers have raced
(and finished) the grueling Baja 1000 more than 15 times.
They have ridden and raced all over the world, and used
this vast off-road and nighttime experience to design
and manufacture lights specifically for off-road racing. |

All
lights are not created equal - Lights that work well
on a street vehicle are not necessarily best for off-road.
Off road vehicles have more body pitch, more suspension
travel, more vibration, as well as face more varied
terrain. Other lighting manufacturers offer “off-road”
lights that were designed for use on the street, or
dirt roads. Soltek™ lights were created for extreme
off-road terrain and driving conditions. |

Everything
you ever wanted to know about lighting technology: |

 |

Don’t
be misled by lights that are rated by brightness (candlepower).
Candlepower ratings only measure light from a single
point within a beam of light. A tightly focused beam
of light may rate a high candlepower but if that light
only falls on a very small area, the light will be
less than useful. An extreme example of this would
be a laser pointer. While the candlepower would be
great, the light would be near useless for illumination.
Lumens are a measure of potential light output. All
35 watt, 4200K HID light bulbs produce essentially
the same amount of Lumens. A light’s candlepower
or lumens measurement is worthless if the illumination
is not where you need it. This is where the SolteK
lights shine!
The
most effective off-road light will provide smooth
light distribution without Sharp Cut-Offs or Hot Spots.
A “Sharp Cut-Off” is where the light drops
off dramatically, creating a horizontal or vertical
line into darkness. With the pitch and roll of the
vehicle, the sharp cut-off affects your ability to
see where you need to see. A “Hot Spot”
is an intense concentration of light in a small area.
Hot spots can be very distracting while driving off
road; your eyes tend to focus on just that bright
spot of light bouncing in front of you. No other manufacturer
offers the off-road specific light distribution patterns
that Baja Designs does.

Driving
Lights (or Euro Beam) are used for 75% of off road driving
conditions. Our driving pattern offers good peripheral
vision and excellent distance while providing ample
light both high and low to compensate for the up-and-down
pitch of the vehicle. Imagine being able to see where
you need to even while your vehicle climbs, descends,
turns, jumps, and bounces.
Pencil
Lights (or Spot Beam) provide a longer and narrower
beam pattern to illuminate farther down the trail. This
is the light for high-speed running. Our spot was designed
to provide optimum distance without any annoying hot
spot. Additionally, this pattern can be adjusted wider
or narrower by up to 4º based on your particular
driving conditions.
A
combination of Driving and Pencil Lights provides the
best overall off-road light distribution. |
