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.
