With so many options on the market today we made it one of our top priorities to give people the ultimate trust in our product BEFORE the time of purchase! We decided the best way to do that would be to put our products through the paces in hardcore offroad & Frigid Canadian winter conditions to show what they are really capable of handling!
Here are the Top 3 Things we look for while stress testing our products!
1. Waterproof
First and foremost it is by far the most essential thing to ensure our products are 110% waterproof and will not let any water in while getting blasted with water or even while being fully submerged! All of our RGB & RGB+W Rock Lights & Wheel Lights are IP68 Waterproof Rated. By definition,"international standard rating of IP68 is deemed fit enough to withstand dust, dirt and sand, and are resistant to submersion up to a maximum depth of 1.5m underwater for up to thirty minutes." Therefore being IP68 rated, no matter what you plan on doing with your vehicle, you won't have to ever worry about our lights taking on water! Unless you sink your entire vehicle to the bottom of the lake.....

2. Durability
Second on the list is durability aka how much of a beating can this product really take? This is where slinging thick mud, gravel & stones help us determine how our products will hold up in a real-life situation. For example, when you're hauling ass down a gravel road going way faster than you should be, stones are smashing into the housing of your Rock lights which are mounted up inside the wheel wells of your vehicle. This is a relatively common scenario in which we have tested and confirmed our housings can EASILY endure!
Something else you might face depending on where you live is long exposure to salt from the roads. We get a TON of salt on the roads up here and after a while, certain materials start to get broken down so it has been vitally important to test and confirm that the materials of our products can withstand this prolonged scenario as well.
3. Temperature
Something we hear often is "I had rock lights before but they stopped working when it got super cold out. Thankfully for us, Adrenaline Offroad is based in a colder part of Canada called Manitoba which often reaches temperatures of -35 °F or colder during the winter months! This gives us the perfect opportunity to not only freeze our asses off but to also see how our products perform in the extreme cold over an extended period of time! Which is a lot more valuable than tossing it in a freezer for 10 minutes and then saying "yup it works fine in the cold!" Both our Rock lights & Wheel Lights have survived multiple Manitoban winters which give us and our customers confidence that their Adrenaline Offroad product will treat them well when mother nature does not!
