Reviewing the Siberia Outlaw Lighting Strands: Product Analysis

 

Introducing STRANDS Lighting, a premium addition to Australia’s trucking and four-wheel drive LED lighting market since mid-2023. Distributed by Brown Watson International (BWI), known for handling esteemed brands like Narva, Osram, Phillips Automotive, and Projecta, STRANDS Lighting brings forth a range of driving lights, light bars, and work lights, with the Siberia Outlaw series standing out as a flagship offering.

Having had the opportunity to rigorously test the 32-inch Siberia Outlaw unit (starting from $1399), we can attest to its exceptional performance and durability. Constructed from cast aluminum with a Satin Black finish, this frameless LED unit boasts resilience against vibrations and UV damage, ideal for the harsh conditions of the Australian terrain.

Featuring STRANDS Lighting’s signature horizontal light pipe, the Siberia Outlaw offers versatility with illumination options in either white or amber. Its polycarbonate lens, with a sleek ‘smoked’ appearance, ensures durability and aesthetic appeal, while the IP67 rating guarantees protection against dust and moisture ingress, making it well-suited for Australian climates.

Installation is hassle-free, thanks to water- and dust-proof Deutsch connectors and sealed conduit cabling, accompanied by Osram-sourced LEDs with a low current draw. With impressive illumination statistics, including 44,400 raw lumens and a lux rating of 1466 meters, the Siberia Outlaw delivers a formidable ‘wall of light’ in real-world scenarios, surpassing standard LED high-beam performance.

Furthermore, the natural white hue of the light (6000 Kelvin) ensures optimal visibility without any distracting blue tinge. Backed by a three-year warranty and free delivery for orders over $200, STRANDS Lighting’s Siberia Outlaw stands as a premium choice, offering unmatched quality and performance amidst a sea of generic LED light bars flooding the market.
