Diode Dynamics DD8505 DEK x Kuat Universal Roof Rack 54" x 60" with SS50 Sport DC Combo LED Light Bar

The Diode Dynamics DD8505 is a 54" x 60" universal DEK roof rack — a collaboration between Diode Dynamics and Kuat — engineered to seamlessly integrate high-performance LED lighting directly into the rack structure for a clean, factory-style appearance. The result is a modular, low-profile rooftop system that serves double duty as a capable cargo platform and a powerful lighting solution, day or night.

All-Metal Construction Built for Adventure

The DEK is built from durable, lightweight all-metal construction designed to support rooftop tents, recovery gear, and weekend cargo without sacrificing weight efficiency. Adjustable crossbars allow clearance over antennas and sunroofs, while generous T-channels throughout the frame provide flexible mounting points for virtually any accessory. The rack supports a 300 lb dynamic weight capacity and an impressive 1,000 lb static weight capacity, making it one of the most capable universal roof rack platforms available.

Integrated SS50 Stage Series LED Light Bar — Dual Color Combo

This DD8505 configuration includes the SS50 Stage Series LED light bar in a Dual Color (DC) Combo beam pattern at the Sport power level. The SS50 is mounted directly into the front crossbar of the rack for a seamless, integrated look that no bolt-on aftermarket light bar can match. The Dual Color configuration delivers both white and amber illumination, letting you adapt to changing conditions — white for maximum nighttime visibility and amber for improved performance in fog, rain, snow, or dust.

The Combo beam pattern is purpose-built for real-world off-road use, blending long-range throw with wide peripheral coverage into a single balanced output. Diode Dynamics' proprietary TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optics capture and direct nearly all available light output precisely where it's needed, eliminating wasted light and glare.

Sport Power Level

The Sport model uses high-intensity automotive-grade LED emitters paired with TIR optics, delivering excellent output and focus at an accessible price point. For drivers who want maximum power output, the Pro tier is also available separately.

Fully Illuminated Backlight

When the main beam is off, the SS50's TIR optic is fully illuminated by an integrated backlight, providing distinctive accent lighting that sets the DEK apart from standard roof-mounted light bars.
