The LED Whip Lights is an adjustable light bar designed to be mounted on your off-road vehicle, making you highly visible during off-road adventures.
The production principle of this light involves wrapped LED light strips around a plastic tube and connecting the strips to a Bluetooth chip. It's made with aluminum alloy to create a fixed quick-release base and features waterproof capabilities throughout.
It is a flagpole light, allowing you to attach your country's flag to the pole, showcasing your love for your country.
This light became popular in off-road racing, particularly noticeable during nighttime events. Additionally, it is used on trucks, boats, and other mobile vehicles.
If you have an ATV/UTV, I believe you would equip it with LED whip lights. Firstly, for safety reasons, these lights illuminate the outline of your vehicle during nighttime driving and off-road adventures, making it visible from afar, especially on hillsides. Secondly, they offer stunning visual effects with colors like red, blue, and green, creating a dreamy chasing effect. You don't need to speak to express your mood at the moment; these lights speak for you.
Thirdly, they are easy to install, featuring a aluminum quick release mount base that allows you to swiftly detach your LED whip lights.
Based on the dimensions of your existing ATV/UTV, the most common lengths for LED whip lights are usually 3FT or 4FT. Additionally, there are various styles of LED whip lights available, such as wrapping LED lights, integrated flagpole lights, and the trendy chubby flagpole lights. Choose according to your personal preference. However, remember to select flagpole lights with a quick-release base, and if you drive at higher speeds or experience significant vehicle movement, it's advisable to pair them with shock-absorbing springs.
Next, consider the length of the wiring, as it typically connects to your vehicle's electrical box. Ensure you calculate the distance accurately.
When making a purchase, it's crucial to understand the product's waterproof rating and warranty period. It's generally recommended to avoid the cheapest options, as you get what you pay for.
Quick tip: Use waterproof connectors for electrical connections, and when not in use, ensure that your wiring connectors are not exposed to the elements.
From the perspective of the light strip:
A good-quality light strip displays tightly packed LED beads and three closely arranged copper strips. All materials appear neat, and the copper strips seem sturdy, enhancing the light strip's resistance to vibration. Conversely, ordinary light strips typically have LED beads and copper strips spaced farther apart, with the three copper strips appearing thinner, making them more prone to damage during intense vibrations.
Regarding the internal tubing:
A high-quality whip light maintains a balance between flexibility and hardness, making it less prone to breakage while retaining good flexibility and toughness. On the other hand, inferior whip lights may be either too soft or excessively rigid.
Regarding the aluminum alloy base:
A well-made whip light aluminum alloy base is treated with oxidation or electroplating processes, resulting in a glossy surface without burrs or flaws, providing a satisfying tactile feel. In contrast, subpar whip lights may have rough metal surfaces with flaws.
Firstly, you need to consider where to mount the LED whip lights: on the roof, at the rear, or at the front?
Type 1: If you want to fix them on the roof, you can use magnetic mount bases.
Type 2: If you want to fix them at the rear, you can use a trailer hitch mount.
Type 3: If you want to fix them on a pole, you can use a clamp mount.
In summary, there are many base options available for LED whip lights, so you can choose the one that best suits your needs. However, it's crucial not to use ropes to secure them.
3FT/4FT Wrapping LED whip lights
Wrapping LED whip lights are the most popular type on the market due to their stable structure. With the central tube wrapped by the light strip, it emits light in 360 degrees while maintaining the integrity of the strip, making production simpler and ensuring smoother signal transmission. It allows for various effects like flowing mode, running horse mode, and other continuous flashing effects to be easily switched. The outer shrink film protection enhances the waterproof performance of the light strip to a level higher than IP67, making it more suitable for outdoor off-road vehicle applications.
3FT/4FT Inside LED whip lights
Inside LED whip lights were the initial design, and coiled ones are an improvement upon them. Integrated flagpole lights feature a transparent plastic tube with a single light strip symmetrically arranged inside. They emit light from both sides, creating a 360-degree visibility due to the light diffusing through the transparent tube. Because of their simple construction and reduced usage of light strips, they are more affordable than coiled ones, making them easier for novice users to handle.
2FT/1FT Double wrapped LED whip fat design lights.
This type of flagpole light, commonly known as the chubby flagpole, is currently quite popular. It's a combination of coiled and integrated styles, with a large-diameter inner tube wrapped with LED light strips and encased in a larger transparent plastic tube for protection. A unique feature is the upward-facing lighting at the top. It's mainly used on medium to large off-road vehicles such as ATVs and UTVs, offering a more exaggerated display effect, which has contributed to its popularity. However, it's essential to avoid excessive length, as the increased inertia from its bulky body can lead to damage.
The choice of LED light strips for flagpole lights varies significantly, and the price difference mainly comes from the selection of light strips.
Currently, the most commonly used types are:
1. 5050 LED beads, 60 LEDs per meter, using 12V non-continuously transmitting light strips (dreamy colors), suitable for integrated LED whip lights (cheaper, suitable for beginners).
2. 5050 LED beads, 60 LEDs per meter, using 12V continuously transmitting light strips (dreamy colors), suitable for coiled LED whip lights. Continuous transmission means that if some LEDs in the strip are damaged, it won't affect the voltage and signal transmission of other LEDs, ensuring the entire product can still function normally. Without continuous transmission, LEDs behind the damaged ones may not work or fail to transmit signals.
The density of coiling should be carefully considered; sparse coiling is cheaper because it uses fewer LED light strips.
Many experienced users have their own preferences and a good understanding of light strips. They may opt for custom-made products and use various Bluetooth apps to achieve their desired effects.
First step, prepare tools:
Tools You Will Need To Install LED Whip Lights
1.Two or one LED whip lights

Always adhere to local regulations and restrictions regarding vehicle lighting to avoid any legal issues.
LED whip lights for trucks:
Flagpole lights are not only used for off-roading; many transport vehicles can also benefit from them. Driving trucks on dark roads at night without lights can be dangerous. Equipping flagpole lights on the front and rear ends of trucks can outline the truck's silhouette and help prevent collisions between vehicles. They also serve as a warning to vehicles in the distance.
Flagpole lights are also used on boats. Some small boats are equipped with flagpole lights, making them easier for larger vessels on the waterway to spot and allowing for effective navigation. Special styles come with full waterproof capabilities, eliminating concerns about electrical leakage.
LED whip lights for bicycles:
Flagpole lights can also be used on bicycles as equipment for nighttime riding, typically installed at the rear of the saddle. If riding in a group, different light patterns can be used for formation riding, enhancing safety. However, it's necessary to equip flagpole lights with a simple external power source, such as a power bank.
The vast majority of issues stem from incorrect wiring or lack of signal. Because most LED whip lights do not have a switch, they light up as soon as power is applied.
The second common issue is whether there has been any collision leading to damage to some LEDs, especially if your LED whip lights do not have continuous transmission capabilities.
The third solution is to attempt using Bluetooth or a remote control to illuminate the lights.
Mobile Bluetooth app, wireless remote control, external switch.
Different LED whip lights come with different wiring harnesses. It's best to choose a wiring harness with waterproof connectors.
Are your whips single, dual, or quadruple? If your whips require signal lines, and you have enough quantity, I recommend purchasing a set with a controller that can expand to accommodate six wiring harnesses. Each harness can control different whips, allowing you to achieve dynamic steering, brake lights, and other functions.
1. Your whip lights need to have the ability to create groups using a Bluetooth app and simultaneously control a pair of flagpole lights. Before making a purchase, you should consult the seller to ensure this functionality.
2. Control through a signal wiring harness with Bluetooth capability.
