Baja Designs Introduces S1 Auxiliary Light
For All Industries Where Space is Limited
Story By: Staff of UTV Sports Magazine
Picking out the right accessory for our needs isn’t always the easiest thing to do. Especially when that accessory is crucial to either how our vehicles perform or how us as drivers will perform. Throwing the weather, terrain, or time of day into consideration as well puts a big focus on what parts are really going to benefit us when we need them. Take lighting for example… Imagine ripping through the dark desert in the dead of night, or traversing a trail with a lot of obstacles blocking the view—littered with drop offs on either side. How can we drive if we can’t even see? Visibility is one of the most important factors of the sport and having the right lighting equipment hooked up on our UTVs is something we don’t often think about until we actually need it.
To help out our visual prowess, Baja Designs, The Scientists of Lighting, continues its 25-plus years of innovation with the all-new, compact S1 LED auxiliary light. Focused on creating the most powerful yet compact light in the world, Baja Designs employed its proprietary optical designs, refined through rigorous real-world testing, and created this robust and sleek-looking 2.1-inch light, which emits 2,375 lumens from a single LED. Even better, Baja Designs offers the S1 in a wide variety of beam patterns and lens color options to fit multiple applications: long-distance Spot with 9-degree beam focus, Wide Cornering with a horizontal-flattened 42-degree beam in Clear or Amber lenses, 60-degree Work/Scene, which projects a smooth, wide circle perfect for illuminating camp or work spaces. In addition, a long-distance laser variation is scheduled for release later in 2019. Each patent-pending S1 light weighs less than a half pound, and each pair ships with a wiring harness and stainless-steel mounting brackets. As with all other Baja Designs lights, the new S1 is designed, engineered, and assembled in the USA and is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty — thanks in part to aluminum housings that are MIL-STD-810G impact-compliant. This employs replaceable O-ring seals between the hard-coated polycarbonate lens, bezel, and aluminum housing, allowing lenses and beam-pattern optics to be easily changed at home or even in the field. ClearView is Baja Designs’ system that uses proprietary computer-designed optics to provide smooth illumination in one or more of the eight specific lighting zones. Further, MoistureBlock technology guarantees that all Baja Designs lights are waterproof, rain-proof, and submersible to IP69K standards; it also prevents moisture from wicking through the wiring into the light housing.
MSRP: Single Baja Designs S1 kit, $109.95. Per pair, $208.95.
