Ideal for a range of uses from canopies and tailgates to tents and sheds, our best-selling 48cm camping light bar is comprised of high-quality materials and throws a strong 180-degree beam of light.

Many 4×4 enthusiasts have also discovered how useful these lights can be in canopies, tailgates, and toolboxes. Hardkorr now supplies these lights to some of the biggest names in 4×4 customization as well as thousands of DIYers every year.

This 48cm LED camping light bar is our most popular and versatile size. It can produce both orange and white light; the orange light will reduce the presence of bugs by up to 90%, while the white light provides maximum brightness. It is commonly used for campsite lighting and illuminating the side doors of touring canopies.

This kit also includes accessories for pole mounting, powering, dimming, and changing the color of the light.

How does orange light reduce bug presence?

Some bugs, like mosquitos and moths, can’t help but move their body towards any light source they can see. This phenomenon is called positive phototaxis. Entomologists still don’t have a complete understanding of why this phenomenon exists, but it is clearly observable in nature.

Of course, bugs will only be attracted to light they can see, and there is a useful difference between the spectra of light that are visible to humans compared to bugs. Humans can generally see light that has a wavelength between 380nm (blue) and 740nm (red). Most bugs, conversely, can see light with a wavelength between 300nm and 600nm.

The wavelength of our orange LEDs is 610nm, putting them outside of the spectrum visible to must bugs, but still well inside the boundaries of human vision. As a result, most bugs will not congregate around our orange light because they simply don’t know it is there.
