Light Bar Strobe
Strobes That Get You Noticed
A strobe is not for seeing, it is for being seen. Stopped on a shoulder, backing a trailer into a yard at dusk, running a slow-moving truck on a highway with a load on: a flashing light does a job a work light cannot. Everything in this group is ARC Lighting BuiltBright.

Measuring your bed
Put a tape measure inside the bed, from the inside of the bulkhead (front wall) to the inside of the closed tailgate. Round to the nearest inch — a 69" measurement is a 5'8" bed.
Bed length is measured inside the box, not along the outside of the truck.
Still unsure? Leave it blank to see every length that fits your truck, or call 888-865-4024.
The BuiltBright range is listed as a family of part numbers rather than one product, so the practical step is to compare the individual listings against where you plan to mount them and how much of the truck you want lit up.
Color is the part to get right before you buy. State law decides which colors a private vehicle may show and when. Blue and red are restricted almost everywhere, while amber and white are the usual choices for work and recovery use. Check the rules for the state you drive in, not the one you bought the light in.
Wiring is the other half. Strobes want a switched feed and a ground that will not corrode, and it is worth running them on their own circuit so a blown fuse does not take anything else with it. Installation is available at all 22 of our stores.
Common Questions
Can I run strobes on my personal truck?
Sometimes, and it depends where you are. Every state regulates which colors a non-emergency vehicle may display, and blue and red are the ones that get people in trouble. Amber is generally accepted for work, towing and roadside use. Check your state code before buying, and remember it applies to what is visible, not just what is installed.
What is the difference between a strobe and a light bar?
A light bar is for seeing. It throws steady light down a trail or across a work area. A strobe is for being seen, flashing so other drivers pick you out of a line of traffic or a dark shoulder. They are not substitutes, and trucks that work at night usually end up with both, wired separately.
