Frequently Asked Questions

How long are these lights built to last?

Triple-R lights come with a five year warranty, they are built to last much longer with an LED lifespan of at least 50,000 hours.

How tough are these lights?

From material selection right through to production and a vigorous test program, Triple-R products have been built to be the toughest lights on the market. Solid State light sources (LED) are inherently robust (no filament to break), while LED light bars also have fully Aluminium enclosures and hard-coated Polycarbonate lenses. Triple-R products are also sealed to IP67 water-tightness level so that whatever you put your vehicle through, you can rest assured these lights won't let you down.

How bright are these lights?

Triple-R are the choice for motorsport teams around the world, as well as selected vehicle manufacturers and importers. From the very beginning of Triple-R product develoment process, through every stage of the manufacturing process, we are striving to produce products with the very highest performance and build quality. There is no compromise in acheiving the most that the latest component technologies can deliver, translating into a safer, more enjoyable driving experinece for our customers.

What is the difference between lumens and lux?

There is a clear distinction between lumens and lux when using as a unit of light measurement. Lumens can be defined as the measurement of how bright a bulb or a light source is. Whether you are 1 meter away or 100 meters away from a light source it is still emitting the same amount of lumens. On the other hand, lux is the measure of the intensity of the light hitting a surface at a given distance. Manufacturer recommendation is that you review the product photometric diagram and consider the spread of light that you want. Overall, lux is a good measurement for determining and comparing the brightness of a beam.

Is the lens really 'unbreakable'?

The lens on products is 3mm thick Lexan GE Polycarbonate with a hardcoat lacquer, they are fully stone chip and impact resistant. Triple-R is so confident in the strength of it's lenses that they come with a full guarantee - if they crack or break (unless caused by intentional duress) Triple-R will offer a replacement free of charge. In the event of a vehicle collision or other substantial heavy impact causing lamp/lens damage, manufacturer is happy to supply a replacement lens and also offers a lens replacement service for a small charge. Spare fascia parts are also available.

Are spare parts available?

It depends. If you’re using the lamp for off-roading for example, Triple-R knows that the lamps can sustain some pretty hefty impacts during competition driving. Some cosmetic parts of the lamps are fully serviceable/replaceable without having to break the lens seal (i.e. water-tightness).

Are the lights road legal, and are there any special mounting requirements?

Triple-R lights are approved to specific UNECE regulations, albeit these accreditations are not recognised in North America. Triple-R lights have not SAE/DOT apporvals. Until that time all lights for use in the US should be operated via an independent switch.

Are the lights fully waterproof?

Yes, all lights are completely watertight when submerged from cold and also when submerged hot (causing negative pressure). Every light leaving UK manufacturing facility is pressure tested to confirm seal integrity, backed up by five year warranty.

Can the products be jet washed?

Yes. Triple-R uses an uprated silicon coated gore tex breather to permit high pressure jet washing, without risk of water ingress to the light.

How do the LEDs compare between LR Series, ST Evolution, Linear, and Utility Series?

Triple-R carefully selects the LEDs for each product / range depending on a variety of different factors including physical light properties, thermal performance, and prodicted end-user application. Manufacturer uses advanced simulation software, coupled with endless real-world testing, to ensure the perfect balance of lighting performance versus LED longevity and product reliability and robustness. In some instances a light will support use of 11W LEDs, while other lights might be better suited to a greater number of lower power LEDs. Often Triple-R will use a combination of LEDs in any one lamp to achieve the best performance and distribution of light, albeit always at the same 5000K colour temperature, to ensure a perfectly homogenous and even beam pattern.

Where can I find the serial number on my lamp?

The serial number is required when making any warranty claim, and can be found either on a sticker located on the underside of the lamp, or partially hidden inside the lamp above the reflectors.
