2. Safety Information

Please observe the following safety precautions to prevent injury or damage to the product and your vehicle:

• Always disconnect the vehicle's battery before performing any electrical work.
• Ensure all wiring connections are secure and properly insulated to prevent short circuits.
• Do not look directly into the light when it is on, as it can cause eye strain or temporary vision impairment.
• Mount the light bar securely to prevent it from dislodging during vehicle operation.
• Ensure the mounting location does not obstruct the driver's view or interfere with vehicle safety features.
• This product is designed for DC 9-80V systems. Do not connect to AC power or voltages outside this range.

3. Package Contents

Please check the package for the following items:

• KEVANLY 6D Ultra Strip LED Light Bar (selected size)
• Mounting Brackets and Hardware (screws, nuts, washers)

Note: Some users have reported missing mounting brackets. Please verify all components are present upon unboxing. Contact your seller immediately if any parts are missing.

4. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your LED light bar:

1. Choose Mounting Location: Select a suitable location on your vehicle that provides optimal light projection and does not obstruct any vehicle functions or driver visibility. Common locations include bumpers, roof racks, or grille guards.
2. Attach Mounting Brackets: Secure the provided mounting brackets to the light bar using the supplied hardware. Ensure they are tightened firmly.
3. Mount Light Bar to Vehicle: Position the light bar with attached brackets onto your chosen location on the vehicle. Mark the drilling points if necessary. Drill pilot holes if required, then securely fasten the light bar to the vehicle using appropriate hardware. Ensure the light bar is stable and does not vibrate.
4. Wiring Connections:
   • The light bar has two wires: Red (+) and Black (-).
   • Connect the Red wire to a positive (+) 9-80V DC power source (e.g., vehicle battery via a fused relay and switch).
   • Connect the Black wire to a reliable ground (-) point on the vehicle chassis or battery.
   • It is highly recommended to use a wiring harness with a relay and fuse (not included) to protect your vehicle's electrical system and the light bar.
   • Ensure all connections are tight, insulated with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing, and protected from water and debris.
5. Test Functionality: Reconnect the vehicle's battery. Turn on the light bar to ensure it functions correctly. Adjust the angle of the light bar for optimal beam direction.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed and wired, operate your KEVANLY LED Light Bar as follows:

• Power On/Off: Use the connected switch (if installed) to turn the light bar on or off.
• Beam Pattern: This light bar features a Spot Flood Combo beam, providing both focused long-distance illumination and wider area coverage.
• Optimal Use: Best used as auxiliary lighting for off-road driving, work sites, or situations requiring enhanced visibility beyond standard vehicle headlights.

6. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your LED light bar, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the lens with a soft cloth and mild soap and water. Avoid abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals that could damage the lens or housing.
• Inspection: Regularly check all mounting hardware for tightness. Inspect wiring for any signs of wear, fraying, or corrosion. Ensure all connections remain secure and insulated.
• Heat Dissipation: Ensure the heat sink fins on the back of the light bar are free from mud, dirt, or debris to allow for efficient heat dissipation.

7. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your LED light bar, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• Light Bar Does Not Turn On:
  • Check all wiring connections for looseness or corrosion.
  • Verify the power source (battery) has sufficient voltage.
  • Check the fuse in your wiring harness (if used) and replace if blown.
  • Ensure the ground connection is solid.
• Light Bar is Dim or Flickering:
  • Check for loose or corroded connections, especially at the power source and ground.
  • Ensure the voltage supplied is within the DC 9-80V range. Low voltage can cause dimming.
  • Inspect wiring for any damage or partial breaks.
• Moisture Inside Lens:
  • While the unit is IP68 rated, extreme temperature changes can sometimes cause minor condensation. This usually dissipates with use.
  • If significant water ingress occurs, check for cracks in the housing or seal damage.
