RIGID Industries, the leader in high-performance LED lighting for off-road pick-up trucks, SUVs and off-road vehicles, is launching its A2Z for e-Mobility initiative to develop smarter, more efficient lighting technology optimized for electric vehicles (EVs). A2Z for e-Mobility builds upon the technology innovations found in the RIGID Adapt E-Series® LED light bar, among the first accessories in the aftermarket industry today, which can be installed on ICE-powered vehicles, but are optimized for EVs.

“As full-size pickup trucks, SUVs and off-road vehicles are rapidly adopting electric power, aftermarket accessories like LED lighting also need to be optimized for EVs,” said Aaron Richardson, RIGID Industries president. “A2Z for e-Mobility represents our commitment to lead the industry with high-performance LED lighting solutions long into the future.”
The Leader in Innovation for Aftermarket Lighting
With a longstanding history of excellence in lighting for performance-driven vehicles, RIGID knew it needed to uphold its reputation within the industry. Focusing on the Adapt brand, the lights adjust given the power draw on the vehicle’s battery, allowing for maximum vehicle performance.
The RIGID Adapt E-Series has two layers of adaptive response for vehicle and driving conditions. The first layer of adaptive response is RIGID’s Active Power Management (APM) system which continuously monitors input voltage to determine the status of the vehicle’s electrical system. If the voltage is stable, the Adapt E-Series will continue to utilize all available power for the most output possible. If the available voltage to the light begins to drop due to insufficient power, RIGID’s APM™ system will gradually reduce the light’s power consumption until the vehicle’s voltage stabilizes.
The second layer of adaptive response is RIGID’s proven Active View Technology, which utilizes an internal GPS to monitor the vehicle’s speed, allowing the Adapt E-Series to properly distribute power among three unique optic zones, creating an optimal beam pattern to suit the vehicle’s speed. As the speed changes, power is dynamically routed through various optics (scene optics for low speed, driving optics for moderate speed and spot optics for high-speed driving). This allows for a seamless transition between beam patterns.
“Whether RIGID customers use their vehicles for work or fun – performance is critical, and with our responsive technology, drivers can be confident that they’ll have ample power and lighting no matter the driving conditions,” said Richardson.
