Which XL is right for you?
Choose XL Pro if…
- You want strong output with a more efficient ~41W draw
- You need versatile range — good close-in spread and real distance
- You're running multiple lights and want to manage total power
Choose XL80 if…
- You want the brightest XL — roughly double the lumens of the Pro
- You're lighting up wide, fast terrain and want a wall of light
- Your electrical system can support the higher ~76W draw
What they share
Both the XL Pro and XL80 use the same uService® optics system, so you can swap beam patterns or lens colors down the road instead of buying a new light. Both are sealed with MoistureBlock®, run a 5000K daylight color for natural terrain recognition, and are covered by the Baja Designs 30-Day Satisfaction Guarantee and Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Beam pattern quick guide
- Driving/Combo — the do-it-all default; balanced reach and spread.
- Spot — tightest, longest throw for high speed.
- Wide Cornering — broad coverage for turns and trail edges.
- Work/Scene — flood for camp, pits, and low-speed work.
