The AR40CV2 puts ARB's Intensity optics into a 22.1" twin-row bar: 40 high-output OSRAM LEDs in two rows of 20, drawing 305 W and pushing 25,080 raw lumens to 926 m (3,038 ft) at 1 lux.
It is a combo bar, which means ARB has mixed 6 degree spot optics and 20 degree flood optics along its length so a single bar covers both distance and width. The extruded, powder-coated aluminum body is a different construction to the cast round lights, chosen because a bar this long needs to shed heat along its whole span. Note that the current draw is high enough that ARB specifies an updated loom, part 3500811, rather than the loom used on the round Intensity lights.
What's Included:
One AR40CV2 Intensity V2 22.1" combo LED light bar
Mounting hardware
400 mm (15.7") input cable
Features
40 OSRAM LEDs In Two Rows Two rows of 20 high-output OSRAM square LEDs produce 25,080 raw lumens and reach 926 m (3,038 ft) at 1 lux, using the same patented lens and reflector technology as the round Intensity lights.
Combo Beam In One Bar ARB mixes 6 degree spot optics with 20 degree flood optics along the bar, so you get distance down the middle and width at the edges without running two separate lights.
Extruded Aluminum Body Powder-coated extruded aluminum rather than a casting, with a heat sink designed to shed 305 W of load along the full length of the bar.
Purpose-Built Mounting System ARB developed the light bar mounting system alongside its bumpers and roof racks, and it is engineered for stability: less oscillation on corrugations means less stress on both the bar and whatever it is bolted to.
Wide Voltage And Temperature Range Runs on 9 V to 36 V and is rated from -40 F to 145 F, so it is equally at home on a 12 V truck or a 24 V rig in genuinely cold or genuinely hot country.
Needs The Updated Loom At 21 A on 14.4 V this bar draws more than the round Intensity lights, and ARB specifies loom 3500811 for it. The 5 m extension 3500821 suits that loom if you need extra reach.

Fit guidance: This is a universal-mount bar rather than a vehicle-specific part, but it is 22.1" long and 8.9 lb, so measure before you buy. ARB sells dedicated tube clamp kits (ARM476 for 1.9" tube, ARM603 for 2.4", ARM761 for 3") and a pedestal mount (ARMP) for it. Check your local rules on auxiliary lighting and on covering a bar when driving on-road.

Installation
Type: Bolt-on to a bar, bumper or roof rack, plus the ARB 3500811 loom · Time: 2-3 hours including switch wiring · Tools: Socket set, drill if you are mounting to a rack, crimper, cable ties · Difficulty: Moderate
The mechanical fit is straightforward; the electrical side is the real job. At 21 A this needs the ARB 3500811 loom with its relay and fusing, run direct to the battery. Mind the airflow behind the bar, and if you mount it above the hood line be ready to deal with glare bouncing off the hood.

About ARB
ARB began in 1975 when Tony Brown came back from a Cape York trip convinced that the gear sold for Australian four wheel drives was not tough enough, and started hand building roof racks and bull bars in his Melbourne driveway. Fifty years on, ARB is the largest manufacturer and distributor of 4x4 accessories in the southern hemisphere, with an engineering campus at Kilsyth in Victoria, offices in the USA, Europe and the Middle East, and an export network reaching more than 100 countries. Its driving lights are developed in that same engineering culture, tested against the corrugations, dust and water crossings that break lesser gear.
In North America ARB trades as Air Locker Inc. from Auburn, Washington, and backs its products with a US warranty program administered there. Prestige Truck is an authorized ARB dealer. Every light, loom and bracket we ship is genuine US market stock with full ARB North America warranty support behind it.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers on specs, fit and support
Which loom does this bar need?
Loom 3500811, not the 3500480 used on the round Intensity lights. ARB updated the loom specifically because the V2 light bar draws more current: 21 A at 14.4 V. If you need more routing length, extension 3500821 is the 5 m extension made for that loom.
What does a combo beam actually give me?
ARB mixes 6 degree spot optics and 20 degree flood optics along the bar, so one bar does the job that a spot and a flood would do side by side. You get reach down the center out to 926 m and useful width at the edges. It is the sensible choice if you only have room for one light.
How do I mount it to a bull bar tube?
ARB makes three tube clamp kits sized to the tube: ARM476 for 1.9" (47.6 mm), ARM603 for 2.4" (60.3 mm) and ARM761 for 3" (76.1 mm). Measure the outside diameter of your tube before ordering. If you are mounting to a flat surface instead, the ARMP pedestal mount kit is the part you want.
Will it fit behind my grille or under the bumper?
It is 22.1" long, 4.9" in the deeper dimension and 8.9 lb, so measure carefully. Most people mount it on top of a bull bar or on a roof rack. Wherever it goes, leave airflow behind it: 305 W is a lot of heat to shed and the extruded body relies on air moving over the fins.
Can I run it on a 24 V vehicle?
Yes. The bar accepts 9 V to 36 V, so 12 V and 24 V systems are both fine. Current draw scales accordingly, and the ARB loom should be specified for your system voltage.
What is the warranty?
3 years, which is the term ARB publishes for this part. Administered in North America by ARB out of Auburn, Washington, and honored through authorized dealers like us.

Look is great. 100 lbs
Look is great. 100 lbs lighter than my 2nd pick. Lid lock and opening are smooth. Only minor knock I give is the the tie down hooks are hard to install - thinking I should have done them before installing.

A must have
I really like this mat. I was apprehensive at first but, the mat does a great job of keeping things from sliding around without having to secure it. perfect fit. But i think i will be adding some short screws to secure the mat to the DECKED system.

I never knew how much I needed this
As with all BAK covers, the quality is amazing. What I didnt fully appreciate until installing was the ease of opening - especially in a lifted truck. No more need to find the right handhold. Just roll it back with a single hand. Its also great to see out of my rear window when fully open - something you lose with the fold back covers. Customer service is awesome. I has an installation question and the representative stayed on the line as I adjusted an alignment to ensure I did it properly.

Better then expected.
Searched for about 6 months to find the tonneau cover. I really wanted the security of a hard top without sticking above the bed rails it checked those boxes. I also did not want to drill my truck bed. The install was super simple my wife and I had it on the truck in about a half an hour.

The toolbox is nice. I
The toolbox is nice. I think Ill get a lot of years of service out of it. I like how the lid opens and the tie downs are a nice touch. It seems to be well built. And tough. Im pleased with my purchase and would buy another one.
