KC HiLiTES shock mounted lights began with the famous Daylighter® that they invented
and patented in 1972. Not only does the Daylighter® use a heavy-duty rubber
gasket (bulb holder) that isolates the lens, reflector, and bulb from the metal
housing and elements of weather, but it also includes their patented shock mounting
system.
The KC HiLiTES shock mounting system was developed as a way to isolate the
lamp unit from the mounting bracket or surface to which the the light is mounted.
This system successfully reduces lamp failure due to vibration and has been
proven through the extremes of off road racing. Now, the shock mount system
has been updated from the original to require no extra drilling. KC HiLiTES currently
offer a wide range of 6 inch round lights in various finishes and wattages that
include this proven shock mount system.
