Curved 50" LED Light Bars

[Steele16]

I wonder what company was the first to design the radius LED and bring it to reality, before everyone else copied it.

When I learn a bit more Chinese I'll call over there and find out. Its not like its a revolutionary genius concept. Why did it take anyone so long to start producing them? It only makes sense to use a radius and all spot beam to get distance and width.

That beard is luxurious.

Also are those mounts reproducable? And do you have any straight on shots?

That's a child's beard!

I remember not that long ago someone asking about a curved light for width and members said it could not be done due to curved circuit boards and so on. Everyone seemed to agree at the time that it probably could not be done.

Unless there is some magic involved that I'm not privy too, which is entirely possible, a circuit board is just a molded panel of wires and plugs. Shouldnt have been that huge of a deal right? The heatsink would've been a bigger challenge I would guess

The heatsinks are just one long piece of aluminum extrusion, with the right dies rolling them into a radius wouldn't be a big deal.

I don't know if there is some degree of cleverness in the boards or not. Probably just a retool needed to press the boards to a curve instead of flat. Something would have to be done so the LEDs mount flat. For how small components are now you can probably ignore the curve over how short of a distance they cover, or, just run the traces vertical where parts need to go. That's assuming small surface mount stuff is used, with through-hole stuff it's not really an issue either.

Having only ever done it on flat boards, I don't know how much you can have things tipped and still reflow solder them.

The only issue is the smaller bars have a tighter arc right? They could be harder to make right?

Hey guys,



I might need to take you up on those offers, I'll be in touch. Thanks!!!

If you need more scientists, let me know as well for radius bars. Do you offer a radius in amber LED diodes by any chance? Covers take away lumens.
Doesn't rigid make custom orders?

Rigid better hurry if they want to be the first with a radius out to customers now. Look what I found. .

Stupid question, but are these only for roof mounts, or would these be mint for behind the front grill...which of course is curved?

 

[Cleave]

A 50" curved led light bar can be mounted anywhere you can fit it and get mounts fabricated up for it

I thought the rigid lights came with a means to mount inside the grill....no?
