Diode Dynamics SS3 3″ Standard Yellow LED Pod – Single Diode Dynamics

Stage Series 3″ LED Pod – Standard (Square) Style in Yellow by Diode Dynamics

Introducing the SS3 3” LED Pod! Featuring higher output intensity than any other 3” light on the market, these LED pods have been designed for maximum functionality, with custom-engineered TIR optics shining in highly useful beam patterns, all in a durable package.

Focused. Traditional optics like reflectors or simple lenses lose light internally and to glare, so not all of the light shines on target. Instead, the custom-engineered TIR optic in the SS3 collects all of the light from the LED, and directs it only where you need it, drastically reducing glare and improving total efficiency.

Other options on the market lose as much as 10% of the light output shining through an outer lens. The custom-molded TIR optic in the SS3 serves as both the optic and main lens for greater efficiency and light output. The total intensity of the SS3 is much greater than other pods using basic optics or reflectors with a standard outer lens.

Functional Patterns. All Stage Series beam pattern options were designed with optical simulation modeling, to shape the output in a highly-functional beam pattern. No matter what your auxiliary lighting needs are, there is a Stage Series optic for you!

• Driving is designed to supplement your high beams, but it’s great for general illumination as well. Rather than a traditional “spot” pattern, the Stage Series Driving pattern shines in an 18×8 degree spread, providing just enough width to fully illuminate the road ahead at high speeds.
• SAE Fog provides an extremely wide field of view, with high-intensity output over an entire 80-degree spread. It serves as a great upgrade for any factory foglamp, and will fully illuminate the area in front of your vehicle.
• Flood pattern was designed to provide uniform, even illumination with a full 60×60 degree spread of light. Unlike generic “flood” lights that are simply a heavily diffused spotlight, our flood pattern uses pillow optics on the outer lens surface, to provide a true optically designed spread, for even illumination throughout. It is perfect to use as a backup light, for lighting up anything at low speeds, or for trailers and worksites.
• Spot is an unmodified pattern, shining light directly from the TIR optic. The result is a highly focused 6-degree beam of light, perfect for directing light far into the distance. With an incredible output of 151,000 candela, the SS3 Sport shines a half-mile away (¼ lux), from a compact 3-inch package.

Sport or Pro. Stage Series LED pods are available at two different power levels. Both options use high-intensity LED emitters, and TIR optics for unmatched focus and overall output. However, the Pro option is double the amount of total power.

All SS3 LED pods feature a custom-molded DT type Deutsch-style connector on the back, and come with a 6-inch pigtail with bare leads. For installation, you can wire yourself, use an off-the-shelf Deutsch DT sized wire harness, or select an optional Diode Dynamics wire harness.

Features

• Advanced TIR optics provide high efficiency and focus
• High-intensity automotive-type LEDs
