Baja Designs has officially pulled the curtain back on a technology many off-road racers have relied on for years, now refined into a bolt-on solution for enthusiasts. The Reflex Light Actuator is the first fully integrated actuator system designed exclusively for Baja Designs lights, giving drivers real-time control over their lighting without ever leaving the seat.
Baja Designs says the Reflex represents a major shift in accessibility. What was once expensive, custom-fabricated, race-only hardware is now engineered into a system that everyday UTV, truck, and off-road drivers can install and use.
Race-Proven Technology, Now Bolt-On
Racing has long been the proving ground for Baja Designs products, and the Reflex Light Actuator followed that same path. The company’s philosophy is simple: if it can survive Baja, it earns its place in the lineup. The Reflex began as race-exclusive technology used almost exclusively by top off-road race teams, where on-the-fly light adjustment is critical at speed. Until now, that level of control was largely out of reach for most enthusiasts.
With the Reflex Light Actuator, that changes. Designed specifically for Baja Designs lights, the system allows drivers to instantly adjust the pitch of their lights with the flip of a switch. Depending on the light type, users get up to 20 degrees of movement, letting them fine-tune beam placement for changing terrain without stopping to manually readjust mounts.
Fixed light angles are no longer a limitation. Whether transitioning from wide-open desert to tight trails, or dealing with dust, fog, or close-range obstacles, drivers can reposition their lighting exactly where it’s needed in real time.
Smarter Lighting For Real-World Conditions
Beyond convenience, the Reflex Light Actuator is designed to improve overall lighting performance. By allowing precise control of beam angles, the system helps optimize light placement, reduce glare, and make better use of available output. This means improved visibility in challenging conditions and less wasted light where it’s not needed.
Light actuators give drivers complete control over how their lighting interacts with the environment, making it easier to adapt to everything from high-speed night runs to slow, technical sections. For UTV and off-road enthusiasts who regularly encounter rapidly changing conditions, that adaptability can make a significant difference.
Engineered For Versatility Across The Baja Designs Lineup
The Reflex Light Actuator is compatible with several of Baja Designs’ most popular products, including the LP Series, XL Series, OnX, and S8 light bars. Smaller 10-inch lights require one actuator per light, while larger 20- to 50-inch light bars use two actuators per light to manage the added width and weight.
For more complex setups, multiple actuators can be linked together and controlled from a single switch using the included linking harness system. This allows seamless operation of up to eight actuators at once, making it possible to manage multi-light configurations without cluttering the dash. Wiring can be integrated into existing power management systems or run through a traditional rocker switch, depending on the vehicle and user preference.
Availability And Pricing
The Baja Designs Reflex Light Actuator is available now through authorized Baja Designs dealers and directly from Bajadesigns.com. Pricing starts at $99.95 per actuator for single auxiliary light pods, with light bar applications starting at $199.95.
