The number of lights depends on your vehicle size and the level of ground coverage you want.

Typical setups:

4 Lights
Basic wheel well lighting. Often used on smaller vehicles or minimal installs.

8 Lights
Most popular setup for Jeeps and short wheelbase vehicles. Provides full ground coverage and strong underbody illumination.

12 Lights
Ideal for trucks, long wheelbase vehicles, and builds that want brighter underbody coverage along the frame rails.

16 Lights
Maximum ground coverage for long trucks, overland builds, and show-quality lighting setups.

Our kits include the wiring components needed to distribute power cleanly across the vehicle.

If you want a cleaner installation with fewer wiring components, our Build-to-Fit™kits are the most popular option.

All LUX rock lights use high-strength neodymium magnetic mounting. Simply place the light on a clean, flat steel surface and installation is complete — no drilling, screws, glue, or tape required.

Unlike conventional rock lights, the LUX magnetic mount is also engineered into the thermal path of the LEDs. Heat is transferred through the magnet and into the vehicle’s frame rail, allowing the LEDs to run cooler and produce higher usable output.

If a metal mounting surface is not available, steel mounting plates are availablehere.

LUX rock lights use custom-cast N45H neodymium magnets, designed specifically for high-temperature environments and extreme holding force.

These magnets are significantly stronger than what is required to hold the light in place and are engineered to maintain their strength even while transferring heat from the LEDs into the vehicle frame.

LUX rock lights are engineered for real-world usable output, not just inflated lumen numbers on a box.

Our patented magnetic thermal transfer system moves heat out of the LEDs and into the vehicle’s frame rail. This allows the LEDs to run cooler and be driven harder, producing more usable light from a much smaller housing than conventional rock lights.

The result is broader light coverage, higher output, and more efficient performance in real installations.

Many lumen ratings in the off-road lighting market are measured under unrealistic laboratory conditions and do not reflect how lights perform once installed on a vehicle.

LUX lights are engineered for real-world usable output, not inflated numbers on a box.

Our patented magnetic mounting system transfers heat directly from the LEDs into the vehicle’s frame rail. This allows the LEDs to run cooler and be driven harder, producing more usable light from a much smaller package than traditional rock lights that trap heat inside aluminum housings.

The result is higher real-world brightness, broader light coverage, and more efficient thermal performance once the lights are installed on a vehicle.

In short — we focus on real performance, not inflated specifications.

Direct-Connect™ kits allow each light to run independently back to the controller using extension leads and splitters. This provides maximum flexibility for custom installations.

Build-to-Fit™ kits use a string-style wiring architecture where lights connect directly to each other, significantly reducing wiring complexity and installation time.

Both systems use the same LUX MONSTER light pods and can be expanded using extension cables and wiring components.

No. White and RGBW lighting systems use different wiring and controllers.

White lights must be used with white controllers, and RGBW lights must be used with RGBW controllers.

Yes. All LUX lighting systems are modular and can be expanded using additional light pods, extension cables, and splitters.

This allows you to start with a smaller kit and add additional lighting later.

LUX rock lights are available in two lighting systems:

• White – High output single-color ground lighting
• RGBW – Full color customization with dedicated white LEDs for maximum brightness

RGBW systems allow control through a mobile app with adjustable brightness, color selection, and dynamic lighting effects.

LUX rock lights require a steel surface for proper magnetic mounting and heat dissipation.

If your vehicle has aluminum, plastic, or composite mounting areas, you can use our steel mounting plates to create the proper mounting surface.

Rock lights are designed to illuminate the ground around a vehicle at night. They are commonly used for:

• Off-road trail visibility while rock crawling
• Ground lighting for trucks and lifted vehicles
• Overland campsite lighting
• Work truck toolbox and service lighting
• AMP Research running board lighting
• RV and trailer ground illumination

Because LUX lights produce a wide, high-output light pattern, they are commonly used for both functional ground lighting and custom vehicle builds.

Rock lights are typically mounted along the vehicle’s frame rails or in the wheel wells to illuminate the ground around the vehicle.

Common mounting locations include:

• Frame rails under the cab
• Front and rear wheel wells
• Rear bumper area
• Running board or step locations
• Under-bed or toolbox areas on trucks

For best performance, LUX magnetic rock lights should be mounted to a clean, flat steel surface to allow proper heat dissipation through the magnetic mounting system.

Rock lights are primarily designed for off-road use and work lighting. Laws regarding underbody lighting vary by state and local jurisdiction.

Many customers use white rock lights for functional ground lighting, while RGBW systems are commonly used for show vehicles and off-road builds.

Always check local regulations regarding underbody lighting before using colored lighting on public roads.
