Baja Designs expanded its OnX6 LED light bar family in 2017 with standard, Hi-Power and Racer Edition options. Each addressed a different need for UTV drivers, from broad trail visibility to long-distance lighting for fast desert travel. The output figures below describe the products announced at the time; Baja Designs now sells the updated OnX6+ lineup.
Original OnX6: Three Beam Choices
The standard OnX6 was built around a 10-inch, six-LED section that Baja Designs rated at 7,350 lumens in its 2017 announcement. Buyers could choose Driving/Combo, Wide Driving or High-Speed Spot optics. Driving/Combo mixed near and distant coverage; Wide Driving emphasized a broader view; and High-Speed Spot concentrated light farther down the trail.
The original construction included an anodized aluminum housing, a machined aluminum bezel, stainless steel mounting hardware and hard-coated polycarbonate lenses. Baja Designs also highlighted its replaceable lenses and optics, sealed assemblies and 5000K light color.
OnX6 Hi-Power: More Output per Section
The newly introduced Hi-Power version combined four 20-watt LEDs for near- and mid-field coverage with two 10-watt LEDs aimed farther ahead. Baja Designs claimed 11,650 lumens per 10-inch section at launch. The company listed 10-, 20-, 30- and 40-inch bars, making the same basic lighting approach available for different mounting spaces and coverage goals.
OnX6 Racer Edition: Distance at Speed
The Racer Edition focused its beam for long-range visibility in high-speed applications. According to the original announcement, Baja Designs narrowed the spot optic from 6 degrees to 4 degrees to extend reach. That made beam placement especially relevant for UTV racers and desert drivers who needed to see farther ahead.
