SS50 Stage Series LED Light Bar — Sport, White, Combo

This configuration includes the SS50 Stage Series 50" LED Light Bar in the Sport power level with a White (6000K) Combo beam pattern. The SS50 fits the larger DEK rack sizes for a clean, low-profile lighting solution that complements the rack's design without adding unnecessary bulk.

• Beam Pattern: Combo — blends distance reach and width into one balanced, usable output
• Color: White — true 6000K color temperature with no blue tint
• Optics: Advanced TIR (Total Internal Reflection) optics capture and focus virtually all light output, eliminating glare and wasted light
• Housing: Slim 42mm extruded profile for ultra-low-profile fitment
• Finish: Durable matte powdercoated extrusion
• Connections: Standard Deutsch DT-style connector with 6-inch pigtail and bare leads
• Segments: 6-inch modular segments, each individually sealed with a double-wall seal for superior weather resistance
• Lens: Interchangeable outer lenses allow beam pattern or color changes with minimal effort

Fully Illuminated Backlight

The SS50 Stage Series Light Bar includes an integrated backlight that fully illuminates the TIR optic when the main beam is off, providing distinctive accent lighting not found on conventional LED light bars.

Sport vs. Pro Power Levels

The Sport model uses the same high-intensity automotive-grade LED emitters and TIR optics as the Pro, delivering excellent real-world output at a more accessible price point. Both levels are engineered specifically for off-road and overland driving conditions.

The Diode Dynamics DD8516 DEK Roof Rack with SS50 Sport White Combo is the ideal choice for drivers who want a fully integrated, high-performance LED roof rack system with a clean, professional look right out of the box.
