When the sun dips below the tree line and the trail ahead turns pitch black, dependable lighting becomes more than a luxury. It becomes a necessity. Borne Off-Road’s latest LED lighting lineup delivers impressive brightness and durability, backed by real-world testing and expert reviews.
4WD is Life, the reviewer who tested these lights, says, “Since I started testing off-road LED lights three years ago, there’s been a new kind of lens and reflector on the market. The 3-inch pod from Borne Off-Road has a bezel-less design, and the shape of the reflector is definitely not conventional.” He adds, “I believe these pairs make a great spotlight. I have personally tested some other manufacturers’ 3-inch pods before, and I don’t think they’re this bright, especially at 400 yards.”
Compact Pods with Serious Output: 3-Inch Spot and Flood Lights
The Borne Off-Road Universal Pod Light Pair 3x3 packs 4800 raw lumens per light and uses OSRAM LEDs rated for 50,000 hours. The kit includes a weatherproof wiring harness and a backlit rocker switch for easy installation. “Everything is sealed in a bag and very well packaged, similar to their 7-inch bigger brother,” the reviewer notes, praising the attention to detail.
On power draw, the reviewer measured “3.13 amps at 13 volts, which calculates to around 40.69 watts, very close to the manufacturer claimed 40 watts.” When tested on the trail, the pods provided “a pretty good amount of reach,” illuminating tree lines approximately 400 yards away.
Though only the spot beam was reviewed, the flood version deserves recognition as well. The reviewer promises, “Borne Off-Road will also be sending me a pair of the same light as tested today, however, in flood pattern. I am very curious how the flood pattern does compared to the spot.”
Big Light with Bold Results: 7-Inch Round LED Pair
The 7-inch round lights are a step up in size and output, delivering 5800 raw lumens each. They come with both low and high brightness modes and offer daytime running lights that can alternate between white and amber. The reviewer highlights the impressive brightness by measuring “17,900 lux at 20 feet,” calling it “insanely bright.”
He notes, “I am very impressed with the width of the light pattern, despite not having a side-shooting functionality. Normally, a light without side-shooting doesn’t cast that wide of a light. As you see here, it’s even wider than the Diode Dynamics fog light.”
4WD is Life concludes, “I love the light a lot because the light is visually appealing. I like how it looks on my Tacoma, and I like how the DRL looks, especially with the bezel-less body. It really makes the light stand out.” He adds that these lights “provide a good amount of illumination near and far.”
