Buyer's guide
Best LED driving lights Australia.
How to choose LED driving lights or a light bar for Australian conditions, and how the ELVA range compares on published specifications.
What to compare
Four figures do most of the work when comparing driving lights: effective lumens (total light output), beam distance measured at 1 lux (how far usable light is thrown), power draw in watts, and the ingress protection rating (how well the housing resists dust and water). Every ELVA light is rated IP68 and IP69K, runs on 9-30V DC, produces a 6000K colour temperature and is rated for -40°C to 80°C operating temperatures.
Round driving lights or a light bar?
Round driving lights throw light a long way down the road, which suits highway and open-country driving. A dual-row light bar spreads light wider and closer, which suits tracks, corners and camp setups. Many Australian 4WD owners run both: a pair of spotties for distance and a bar for spread.

Which one suits you
Choose the Origin 9 if outright distance matters most - it is the longest-throwing light in the range at 1.7 km. Choose the Origin 7 for a lighter, lower-draw pair that still reaches 1.5 km. Choose the 30 inch dual-row bar for wide, even light across the track ahead at the lowest price in the range.
Fitment and installation
Fitment depends on your vehicle, bar and wiring. Check the dimensions on each product page before ordering, and confirm your state's rules on auxiliary lighting use on public roads. Each ELVA kit includes the lights, mounting brackets and a wiring harness.
