Think of a manufactur­er of quality LED light bars, one that has been around for over ten years, one that offers a lifetime warranty, and is proudly Canadian. I am guessing that until that last clue most of you were thinking of one of the leading manufactur­ers from the United States. I however, am talking about Speed Demon, a proudly Canadian company based in Airdrie, Alberta that offers a large selection of LED lights that are competitiv­ely priced yet covered by a lifetime warranty!

Unlike cheap budget brands that have thin aluminum housings and plastic lenses, the Speed Demon Lights feature high quality aluminum housings with military breathers and virtually indestruct­ible polycarbon­ate lenses. Speed Demon also utilizes only name brand LED chips like Philips, Osram, and genuine CREE.

I chose Speed Demon Lights for my 2018 Colorado ZR2 overland rig as they were one of four brands that I had tried on other vehicles that I own, but the only economical­ly-priced lights that were well-made, covered by a lifetime warranty, and a 30-day money back guarantee. My ZR2’s 360 degree lighting is made possible by the street legal 20” light bar on the front, two of Speed Demons’ Side Blinders mounted to the hood by the A-Pillars, two Black Ops 4 Pack flush Mounts in the rear bumper, three 4” Scene Lights on the bed rack (one on either side and one on the rear), and a set of four RGB rock lights (paired with a Bluetooth controller) underneath. Since my light fetish is not quite yet satisfied I will also be adding another set of four rock lights with the 8-light controller, their new SAE/DOT approved fog Speed Demons Black Ops series of lights feature a blackout look perfect for stealth applicatio­ns.

• If you prefer some bling, then the RGB Colour Changing series is for you, these can be controlled by a free app available for both Android and Apple. • Need some light for a trailside repair, under the hood, during a power outage at home, or an emergency kit? Get the 12V Lantern with its magnetic base. • Got a Jeep that’s suffering from stock headlights? Speed Demon has a selection of SAE/DOT approved LED replacemen­ts. • Keep an eye open for Speed Demons release of the new Impact series of lights coming this spring. Now go forth and conquer darkness with Canadian, lifetime warranteed Speed Demon Lights!
