The Intensity IQ is the most configurable driving light ARB has built. Each light carries four separate optic groups, Super Spot, Spot, Flood and Midrange, and an onboard control module that lets you set the intensity of each group independently. You are not choosing between a spot and a flood any more; you are building the beam you want and saving it.
Control comes three ways: the supplied touchpad, an ARB LINX interface, or the Intensity IQ smartphone app on iOS or Android, with up to eight customizable presets stored on the light itself. Maximum spot reach is 1,350 m (4,429 ft) at 1 lux, maximum combo 1,105 m and maximum flood 900 m. It also does work-light and courtesy-light duty, and up to four lights can run from a single switch. This part number is the complete pair with harness, switch, control module and brackets.
What's Included:
Two Intensity IQ driving lights
Two mounting brackets with hardware kits
One vehicle wiring harness
One switch with cable and connector
One control module with cable and connector
One security bolt tool set
Features
Four Optics, One Light Super Spot (4x Cree XP-P), Spot (2x Cree XM-L3 plus 3x XP-P), Flood (18x Cree XT-E) and Midrange (4x Cree XM-L3) sit in one housing, and you set the intensity of each group independently.
App, Touchpad Or LINX Control Adjust the beam from the supplied touchpad, from an ARB LINX accessory interface, or from the Intensity IQ app on iOS and Android. Real-time changes while you drive, not a setting you pick at install time.
Eight Presets Stored Onboard Build a beam for open highway, one for tight bush tracks, one for setting up camp, and switch between them from the onboard switch without needing your phone.
1,350 m Of Maximum Reach At full Super Spot the pair reaches 1,350 m (4,429 ft) at 1 lux, with maximum combo at 1,105 m and maximum flood at 900 m. Color temperature runs 5700K to 6200K depending on the optic group in play.
Work Light And Courtesy Light Modes The same lights double as camp lighting at low output, which is genuinely useful when the alternative is another accessory bolted to the rack.
Certified And Sealed IP68 to 3 m for dust and water ingress, protected against RFI and EMC interference, with a pressure equalization breather and a documented compliance list covering CE, ECE R10, ECE R149, UKCA, RCM, FCC and RoHS.
Fitment & Compatibility
Application
Fit
ARB bull bars and bumpers with a standard light tab

ARB LINX accessory interface
● Compatible, optional control method
iOS and Android smartphones
● Compatible via the Intensity IQ app
Vehicles with an 11 V to 32 V electrical system

Everything electrical is in the box. Plan where the control module sits before you start, because it needs to be somewhere dry with its cable able to reach both the harness and the switch. ARB has published a how-to specifically on adjusting the beams once the lights are fitted, which is worth watching before you start aiming.

We describe ARB's warranty exactly as ARB publishes it and do not extend or restate its terms.
Free shipping. This item ships free to the lower 48 states. Because it is an oversized item, it ships by freight and typically arrives in 3 to 7 business days.
Inspect on delivery. Please inspect the packaging before signing. If you see any damage, note it on the delivery receipt and contact us right away, and we will make it right.
Compliance. ARB publishes an explicit compliance list for this part: CE, ECE R10, ECE R149, UKCA, RCM, FCC and RoHS. It is protected against RFI and EMC interference. ARB does not publish an SAE or DOT rating, so it is sold as an off-road auxiliary driving light.
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
What am I actually getting for the price?
A complete pair, not a single light: two Intensity IQ lights, two brackets with hardware, the vehicle harness, the switch, the control module and a security bolt tool set. Nothing else to buy. Comparing it to a single-light price elsewhere is not a like-for-like comparison.
Do I need the app to use them?
No. The app is one of three control methods and the lights work fine without a phone. The supplied touchpad switches between presets stored on the light itself, and an ARB LINX interface can drive them too. The app is how you build and save the presets in the first place, and it is the fastest way to fine-tune a beam.
How is this different from just buying a spot and a flood?
A spot and a flood give you two fixed beams. The IQ gives you four optic groups whose intensities you set independently, so you can dial in a wide low-speed pattern for a tight track, then switch to maximum Super Spot for an open road, from the same lights. You can also drop them to work-light or courtesy-light level around camp.
How far do they really reach?
Maximum spot is 1,350 m (4,429 ft) at 1 lux, maximum combo 1,105 m and maximum flood 900 m. Those are ARB's published figures for the configuration named. Raw output is 14,060 lumens with 6,666 effective lumens, and note that effective lumens fall as you concentrate the beam, which is normal and is why reach and lumens move in opposite directions.
Can I run more than two?
Yes, up to four Intensity IQ lights can run from one switch. Beyond the switch limit you are into current draw territory: each light pulls 12.9 A at 13.2 V, so four is roughly 52 A and needs the supply sized accordingly.
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.
