Lynx T6-8 TIR Interior / Exterior LED Light Bar

The Lynx T6-8 is the longest light bar in the T6 lineup, placing eight warning heads across a 35 5/8-inch housing. Its 48 Generation V 3-watt LEDs use focused TIR lenses for SAE J595 Class 1 warning performance. Choose it for a rear window, rear deck or suitable exterior position with room for the full bar. You get 36 selectable patterns, two saved Dual Memory settings and 21 fixed-color arrangements, with optional circuit-board waterproofing for exterior use.

Eight heads give the T6-8 a longer row of warning lights than the smaller T6 models. Its housing extends 8 5/8 inches beyond the six-head T6-6, adding two heads without changing the focused 40-degree TIR beam. TIR means total internal reflection: the lenses direct light toward the traffic you aim the bar at. A longer bar does not create a wider beam angle.

Check that all eight heads are visible from outside the vehicle. On a broad rear window, the outer heads can still sit behind trim or pillars, while headrests and equipment may block the center. Tint and glass angle affect visible output. Check the proposed position in daylight and darkness, and use the optional flashback guard to help limit reflections into the cabin.

An anodized aluminum housing and scratch- and shatter-resistant polycarbonate lenses protect the assembly. Individual LED modules are replaceable, with spare parts available from ETD, so a damaged module can be serviced without replacing the entire bar.

Choose from 21 fixed-color arrangements: five solid, eight split and eight alternating. On this eight-head model, a split arrangement groups four heads of one color beside four of the other. An alternating arrangement places the two colors in turn across the full bar. Each head keeps its assigned color.

For example, a red/blue split groups four red heads beside four blue heads. The alternating version places a blue head after each red head. These are fixed color positions, independent of the flash pattern you select; the LEDs do not switch colors. Confirm orientation with ETD before ordering if a particular color must face a specific side. Choose colors authorized for your vehicle and role.

The T6-8 suits first responders, fleet managers and POV owners who have space for a long warning bar. Rear-window and rear-deck installations can work in patrol, fire and rescue, tow, utility and construction vehicles. A suitable push bumper or headache rack offers an exterior option when you select circuit-board waterproofing. Fit depends on the actual mounting area, not the vehicle category.

Use the eight-head model when you want the longest housing in this lineup and can keep every head unobstructed. Left, right and center-out are also available as selectable directional patterns, using pattern selection rather than separate arrow controls. Position additional warning lights for approaches the bar does not face.

The Lynx T6-8 meets or exceeds SAE J595 Class 1, California Title 13, ECE R65, CISPR 25 Class 3, SAE J1455 and RoHS requirements. These cover warning-light performance, electromagnetic emissions, vehicle environmental performance and restricted substances, as applicable. CISPR 25 Class 3 addresses electromagnetic emissions; it is not a promise of zero interference with every radio installation.

The optional cigarette-lighter control plug includes the Dual Memory switch, pattern-change button and a fuse. An inline switch, suction cups, flashback guard, headliner brackets for visor mounting and an additional 10 feet of wire are available separately. The extra wire extends the supplied cable; it does not replace it. Suction cups and the flashback guard can be used together.

Circuit-board waterproofing is an optional upgrade for exterior mounting. The light heads and housing already have IP67 protection; the upgrade adds IP67 protection to the circuit board. Waterproofing does not restrict your color or mounting choice. For hardwiring, purchase the required 10 A fuse and suitable fuse holder separately.

Allow space for a 35 5/8 × 2 × 1.5-inch bare housing, plus brackets and the cable route. The T6-8 weighs 4 lb. Use the included L brackets for a suitable rear-deck installation, or select optional suction cups for mounting behind glass. Confirm that the mounting surface can securely support the bar and that all eight heads face through a clear area.

Measure at the proposed mounting height, where window trim and pillars may reduce the usable width. A window wider than 35 5/8 inches at its widest point does not guarantee the bar will fit where you want it. Check rearward visibility and equipment clearance as well. The optional flashback guard can be used with suction cups to reduce cabin reflections.

For a push bumper or another suitable exterior position, use the supplied L brackets and select the circuit-board waterproofing upgrade. A headache rack is another possible location when the light can be secured and aimed properly. Protect electrical connections and use vehicle attachment hardware appropriate for the mounting surface. The four included screws attach the brackets to the light.

Optional headliner brackets support visor or headliner mounting where there is room for the full 35 5/8-inch housing and its hardware. Dash or cage mounting also depends on available space and secure attachment. Keep the bar and its wiring clear of airbags, controls and the driver's sightline.

Hardwire the T6-8 to a fused 12V DC supply, or choose the optional cigarette-lighter plug for plug-in operation. Use a 10 A fuse for one T6-8. The optional plug includes a fuse; hardwired installations require separately purchased fuse protection. The inline switch is also optional.

The optional control plug lets you power either saved memory setting and change patterns with its pattern-change button. Both saved selections remain after unplugging. To coordinate multiple lights, use the dedicated sync connection with current Lynx T6 or L6 models; older T4 units are not compatible.

The T6-8 has eight heads and 48 LEDs in a 35 5/8-inch housing. The T6-6 has six heads and 36 LEDs in a 27-inch housing. You gain two heads and 8 5/8 inches of length; both models offer left, right and center-out patterns. Measure the mounting area before choosing the longer bar.

The light heads and housing have IP67 protection as standard. The circuit board needs the optional waterproofing upgrade for exterior use. Select that upgrade when ordering for a push bumper, headache rack or another exterior location.

Yes. Left, right and center-out are selectable patterns on the T6-8. They are chosen through pattern selection, not through separate arrow controls.

Split colors group four heads of each color as A/A/A/A/B/B/B/B. Alternating colors use A/B/A/B/A/B/A/B. For red/blue, that means four red heads beside four blue heads, or red and blue repeated in turn. The head colors stay fixed when you change flash patterns.

Yes. The optional cigarette-lighter plug has a Dual Memory switch that lets you power either saved setting, plus a pattern-change button. It also includes a fuse.

Yes. The T6-8 can synchronize with current Lynx T6 and L6 lights through its sync wire. It does not synchronize with older T4-series units.

The T6-8 draws 1.25 A while flashing and 6 A on steady-on at 12V. Any light can discharge a battery if left running with the engine off. Runtime depends on battery capacity, battery condition and other equipment drawing power.

No. The flasher is built into the light. Hardwiring requires a fused power connection and suitable controls; the optional inline switch and cigarette-lighter control plug are sold separately.

No. The 35 5/8 × 2 × 1.5-inch measurements describe the bare housing. Allow additional room for brackets, accessories and cable routing. The light weighs 4 lb.

Yes. The LED modules are replaceable, and spare parts are available from ETD. Contact us with your model and the part you need.

The Lynx T6-8 comes standard with a free 5-year warranty. No upgrade selection is required. For warranty assistance, contact ETD with your order number and a description of the problem before returning the light.
