If your offroad vehicle is running on more than three light switches to control your lights, for safety, simplicity, and a million other reasons we recommend that you use a power distribution system. We mean like those made by sPOD, which has moved the manufacturing in-house to Baja Designs (a leader in the off-road lighting industry for over 25 years) in San Marcos, CA. Their advanced electronic control unit is trail-rated and race-proven, perfectly made for offroad vehicles, and works well for anything with a battery including agricultural equipment, utility vehicles, race rigs, and more. These systems are customizable, simple, and powerful, have a variety of safety features, and have fewer wires.
With the switch panel and the solid-state control module, as the two main components of the sPOD system, the systems are easier than ever to install. All you do is wire your positive and negative wire to the power control module, and with one Ethernet cable going to the switch controller, voila, no extra tools, or wasting many hours on a forum trying to learn how to set it up. sPOD offers two powerful and space-saving switch panel power systems: the BantamX, an eight-circuit system, and the six-circuit system SourceLT.
Both of these solid-state technology units offer a centralized means of managing and controlling auxiliary 12V electrical accessories on off-road vehicles. They each utilize a solid-state board and one main fuse as they provide a continuous power flow of up to 100 amps and feature up to six/eight circuits in total, rated at 30 amps. The system not only comes with a 5-year manufacturer defect warranty but also a variety of safety features that help to protect against electrical faults, such as a low-voltage cutoff feature that prevents damage to the battery by shutting off the electrical components. If the battery drops below 11.6V, after two minutes, the Bantam will shut down.
For more freedom to program and control the system from any wireless device, both the sPOD BantamX and SourceLT units come equipped with built-in Bluetooth technology. On top of that, you can control features such as output dimming, strobing, flashing, memory, auto power-up, momentary settings, input, and more through the app. If you are still not yet convinced that you need this system, you should know that we see many people use sPOD as a switch controller for 12V electrical components including winches, air compressors, and lockers (although you should be careful with the circuit load as the amps typically pull 50-70 amps).
