Can Am Defender Plug & Play Apex Running Lights
We saw a need for premium, rigid Can-Am Defender accent lights at a fair price.These amber Apex Lights™ cut through dust with diffused LEDs blasting 75% more light than stock accent lights, or choose a pair of eye-catching white Apex Lights™ delivering 300% more brightness. They also mount to ANY flat surface or 1.25”-2.5” roll bar. Front panels. Bumper. Yes, even on your door. IP67-rated and nearly indestructible, they’re 100% plug & play for the Defender (under 30-minute install, no drilling needed). Read below.
It took two years for RAVEK’s engineers to deliver the Apex Light™ innovation. It revolutionizes Can-Am Defender accent lighting – and does so at a fair price. This is our “nerd zone” to discuss why they’re awesome, and how we did it.
Total customization with the “easiest install in lighting”. The Apex Lights™ mount to ANY flat surface or 1.25”-2.5” roll bar, including OEM and aftermarket bumpers. Each pair includes custom roll bar mounting adapters and heavy-duty straps, guaranteeing a secure, durable attachment. And each kit includes everything you need to install specifically for the Can-Am Defender models. See our install videos – it’s incredibly easy (under 30 minutes). And, adding more Apex Lights™ is simple.
There’s technically no limit unless you’re using a controller or turn signal kit. But, we recommend no more than three sets on the Defender – six lights total, including an alternative amber color for the front and red rear brake option with pulse effect (product #65-101). The hard part is choosing where to put them. Two on the bumper and two on the roof? Or two next on the front fascia with two low on the door (we love this look). Debate on.
Superior Technology – and safety. Factory headlights are dim and have unattractive “hot spot” diodes. And amber lights help cut through dust. We always have dust and dirt around us, so additional light – particularly high up on the vehicle – is critical to alert other riders. The amber Apex Light™ beams 75% brighter than stock accent lights through diffused, heavy-duty polycarbonate lenses. The white Apex Light™ beams 300% brighter than stock accent lights through diffused, heavy-duty polycarbonate lenses.
From a style perspective, we’ve left “hot spot” LED diodes behind with a clean, diffused, almost futuristic LED look. We do this with a custom-tooled diffusion reflector panel inside the light. We use a stream of LED SMD diodes that are tightly backed together for a consistent light beam effect that looks incredible.
As we continued to elevate the quantity and intensity of the SMD LEDs, we realized that the light warranted an Aluminum Heat Sink base (rather than plastic). You wouldn’t notice it was there if we didn’t tell you, but it’s a critical engineering add.
If you crack open stock Defender lights (like we did) and compare them to the Apex Lights™, you’ll see that stock lights have far fewer LEDs that rely on light pipe light projection. This spreads less light across the space encased by the OEM light. The result is lower quality and quantity light output. The elite Defender deserves better.
Rugged, nearly indestructible. Check out our impact test videos. Our team had tons of fun trying to find ways to break the lights and challenge their IP67, waterproof, dustproof engineering. You can mount the lights with or without drilling. Either use the 3M® adhesive with 30 lbs. of load bearing capacity (with or without the custom straps). Or, you can drill them, which is our preference. Our local Northwoods trails are thin – contact with trees and branches is common. The adhesive mounts held up perfectly in every field test.
