IPF is the Japanese lighting manufacturer ARB distributes in the US, and the 900XLS Series 2 is its Xtreme LED Sport driving light. The retail packaging describes it as an exclusive model for ARB 4x4 Accessories, rated at 30 W on 12 V or 24 V with a 6500K color temperature.
What distinguishes it from a typical LED pod is the optics: a tri-wall reflector paired with a heatproof resin reflector body, rather than a flat array of TIR lenses. IPF claims improvements in light output and performance of up to 28% over the previous series. The body is die-cast alloy with an integrated finned heatsink, the driver circuit is internally mounted, and it terminates in waterproof Deutsch DT-6 connectors. Sealed for life to IP68 and submersible.
Note that ARB does not publish a beam pattern designation, lumen figure or beam distance for this part, so we do not state one.
What's Included:
- One IPF Xtreme LED Sport 900XLS Series 2 driving light
Features
Tri-Wall Reflector Optics
IPF uses a hybrid combination design built around a tri-wall reflector rather than a flat TIR lens array, which is what gives this light its distinctive clean beam edge.
CREE High Power LEDs
State of the art CREE high power LEDs delivering high intensity white light, rated by IPF at 6500K on the retail packaging.
Submersible And Sealed For Life
IP68 sealed for life construction with a membrane breather, which equalizes pressure as the light heats and cools without drawing water past the seals.
Die-Cast Alloy Body
Super tough die-cast alloy housing with an integrated finned heatsink, plus a heatproof resin reflector incorporating water and dust resistant components.
Waterproof Deutsch DT-6 Connectors
Proper sealed automotive connectors at the light end, which is where cheap connectors fail first.
Internally Mounted Driver
The LED driver circuit is inside the light rather than in a separate box on the harness, so there is one less sealed enclosure to find a home for.

Fit guidance: A universal-mount driving light using an M12 heavy duty mounting stud. ARB does not publish a beam pattern, lumen output or beam distance for this part, so we cannot advise on spot versus flood selection. Ask us if that matters to your decision and we will request the figures from ARB. Check your local rules on auxiliary driving lights before fitting.

Type: Single M12 stud mount, plus a wiring loom · Time: 1-2 hours per pair including wiring · Tools: Socket set, crimper, cable ties · Difficulty: Moderate
Mechanically it is a single M12 stud through a light tab. The Deutsch DT-6 connector means you need a matching loom or a set of DT-6 terminals. Aim the beam on a dark road once everything is bolted down.
Warranty, Shipping & Returns
Warranty. ARB publishes a 3-year warranty term for this part. In North America it is administered by ARB (Air Locker Inc., Auburn, WA) and honored through authorized dealers like us. We describe the 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 and typically arrives in 3 to 7 business days.
Inspect on delivery. Please inspect your order on arrival. If anything is damaged or missing, contact us right away and we will make it right.
Compliance. The retail packaging shows RoHS, CE and IP68 markings. No SAE or DOT rating is published, so this 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.
