Lightforce also offer an even larger model-specific COB suitable for 60 and 70 Series Landcruisers and one for the Ford Ranger and Mazda BT50. These things fit into the factory lighting fixture and interface with the factory festoon light fitting yet provide oodles of natural white 4300K light, dwarfing the output of the factory setup.

We also stock a wide range of styling lights for those keen to customize their car illumination to better reflect their individual taste. Whether you wish to illuminate your footwell, windscreen washer jets, wheels or speakers, there's something here for you.

If you need to install lighting anywhere there isn't a pre-existing fixture or a fixture is inconvenient or unable to be mounted, or you are looking to create some ambient lighting where you can hide the light source behind a sill, pelmet or similar feature, then an LED strip light is the likely solution. Accordingly, we stock stacks to suit most every application.

Perhaps you need something with a controller built in, suitable for lighting the boot or tray of your work vehicle, in which case this may be just what you're after.

Some lighting applications are more demanding than others, thus not all lighting solutions are created equal. Some of the more demanding, if not the most demanding, applications for lighting are those native to the marine environment. Constant exposure to water, as well as the corrosive effects of salt, necessitates specially marinised lighting for your leisure craft, houseboat or other vessel. Our growing range of marine lighting covers most of the necessities as well as a few superfluities. Here you will find navigation lights, including short and tall masthead lights, sidelights for both starboard and port sides, as well as stern lights, all-round lights, dock lamps and submersible lamps in red, white, green and blue.

The Book of Genesis states that on the first day, God said 'Let there be light' and there was light. We assume He did this because he wasn't keen to make the sky, land, seas, plants, animals and heavens without an ability to see what he was doing. In the same way, whether you are replacing a spare, fixing something under the bonnet, setting up camp or performing most any other task that requires you to see what you are doing, you should first make sure you have all the illumination you need. To help you in this endeavour, we have assembled an extensive range of torches to suit every situation, including hand, head, hanging and other portable torches to help ensure you can always see with vivid clarity, no matter where you are or what you are up to.

If you're after something you can install into your work or leisure vehicle, we have oodles of work lamps of this and that variety from all the major brands, we have both permanent and semi-permanent mounting solutions to suit too. If you need something like this but aren't prepared to go to the trouble of permanently mounting peripherals to your vehicle, we have temporary solutions you can whip out and put away at will too.
