Introduction
The Diode Dynamics Stage Series C1 LED Pod is engineered for maximum performance and light output in a compact and versatile package. Featuring custom-engineered TIR optics and a single high-power LED chip, the SSC1 is designed to direct light efficiently, reducing glare. Its small form factor allows for mounting in various locations on cars, trucks, motorcycles, or UTVs where larger pods may not fit. The pod also includes a distinctive backlight function, illuminating the TIR optic for unique accent lighting. Built for reliability, Stage Series LED lighting undergoes extensive testing for long-term operation across extreme temperatures, vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion, meeting SAE standards.

Operating Instructions
The SSC1 LED Pods offer various beam patterns and color options to suit different lighting needs. The primary light output is available in a 6000K white or a selective yellow color, ideal for cutting through dusty or inclement weather conditions. The unique backlight feature provides accent lighting and automatically turns off when the main beam is activated, then reactivates when the main beam is off.
Beam Patterns:
- Flood: Spreads light widely, illuminating a large area.
- Spot: Focuses light with TIR optics for maximum distance, directing light far down the road.
- Wide: A combination pattern providing a good amount of fill light, suitable for general use.

Backlight Functionality:
The SSC1 features a distinctive backlight that fully illuminates the TIR optic, providing unique accent lighting. This backlight is available in various colors including amber, red, white, and blue. When the main beam is activated, the backlight automatically turns off, and it will turn back on when the main beam is disengaged. This allows for both functional illumination and stylish accent lighting.

Maintenance
The SSC1 LED Pods are built for durability and long-term operation, having undergone rigorous testing for vibration, moisture intrusion, and corrosion. For maintenance or customization, the lenses are easily interchangeable. To change a lens, simply remove the four Torx screws on the back of the unit, pop out the existing lens, and replace it with a new one. This allows for quick changes to beam patterns or output colors as needed.
Troubleshooting
If your SSC1 LED Pod is not functioning as expected, please check the following:
- Power Connection: Ensure all wiring connections are secure and properly insulated. Verify that the integrated Deutsch-style connector is fully seated.
- Power Source: Confirm that the light is receiving adequate power (12V DC). Check fuses and relays in your vehicle's electrical system.
- Lens Installation: If light output is inconsistent or appears dim, ensure the lens is correctly seated and the Torx screws are tightened to prevent moisture ingress.
- Physical Damage: Inspect the pod for any visible physical damage to the housing, lens, or wiring that might affect performance.
