Heavy Duty LED Whips

What's different is that BOOGEY LIGHTS® Heavy Duty LED Whips are not flexible and they're not designed primarily for off-road use. While there's certainly no reason you can't use these for off-road use (add a spring mount), they're just not what you typically see on off-road vehicles. Boogey Lights® Heavy Duty LED whips are just that - HEAVY DUTY. They're stout. They're thick. They're robust. And, they're durable. They do not flex (unless mounted on a spring) and the longest is 3'.

Designed for use primarily on semi-trucks and RVs, these 2' and 3' whips can be mounted on a mirror bracket (semi-trucks - similiar to how a CB antenna is mounted) or on a ladder or similar upright in the case of RVs. They can also be mounted on bumpers assuming you have the vertical clearance. Additionally, there are hundreds of after-market mounting systems that can be used with these whips making them mountable on just about anything. Our patent pending non-mechanical quick-release base makes removing the whip easy if needed. Of course, there's nothing that says you can only use these on RVs and Semi-Trucks. No reason you can't also add them to tow trucks, golf carts, pickup trucks, boats and yes -- even SXS and off-road vehicles as shown in the below photo.

The Quick-Release base included with the whip comes with a bolt (nut + washer too) that can be mounted directly to a hard surface that is sturdy enough to support the whip. The bolt can also be easily removed and replaced with a different size/length bolt if desired. This however may not be sufficient for all mounting applications. We offer a couple of optional generic mirror mounting solutions as follows:

Important to note that we offer the above two mounting solutions as a convenience. We do not manufacture these mounts and candidly, they can be purchased elsewhere for less. There are literally hundreds of after-market mounting solutions for whips, antennas, flag poles and the like that our Quick-Release base can mount to. For example, for semi-truck mirror mounting applications, there are a wide variety of mounting brackets available; some are specific to a truck year/make/model, and others are more generic in nature.

For semi-truck applications, we suggest checking with the folks at RANEY'S TRUCK PARTS first if you want a mount specific to your truck. For example, if you have a 2018 or newer Freightiner Cascadia, we like to use this set of CB Antenna Mounting Brackets. You'll need both the driver's side and passenger's side bracket. It works well for the newer Freightliner mirror structures. If you have a 2008 to 2017 Freightliner Cascadia, this CB Antenna Mounting bracket set will work well. If you're looking for a spring and/or universal mount, you have a lot more options. Some choices include: ETrailer, WestMarine, EBay and of course, Amazon. Companies that manufacture heavy duty mirror mounts include RoadPro, Pro Trucker, ProComm and T whip in a location tram. Many of them also offer a heavy duty spring mount if you're looking for some flexibility. Just make sure you're purchasing a mount capable of supporting the length and weight. If you're going to be mounting thehat is likely to be impacted by tree limbs or similiar (common in off-road scenarios), we strongly suggest mounting the base to a spring first so the whip can move if hit.

On the Western Star 57x truck you see in the photo gallery of this product page we mounted the whip base directly to the mirror mount. The 57x mirror mount however is flat and very sturdy which made the installation easy to do. Most semi truck mirror brackets are round which typically requires the use of a mounting bracket that clamps around the mirror mount and then the whip base mounts to that bracket.

If you're looking to add more flex to your Boogey Lights Heavy Duty LED Whip, we offer this pair of heavy duty barrel spring mounts.

The RGB and RGBA whips require a Boogey Lights LED controller to operate (the single color and dual-color don't).The RGB/RGBA LEDs in these whips are common cathode LEDs. They require a positively switch LED controller to function. If you are adding the whip to an existing Boogey Lights lighting system and that system is RGB, chances are you already have the LED controller you need. If you don't have a Boogey Lights LED controller, you'll need one to operate the whip. We offer the following three LED controller options:

The CONTROLLERS navigation tab on this product page explains more about these three controller options including more details on the lighting features and Bluetooth integration.

For SINGLE COLOR and DUAL COLOR Whips you'll need a way to turn the whips on/off. There are lots of ways to do this but here are some options we offer as a convenience to customers. These same items can be purchased elsewhere too. Here's the list:

Toggle Switch On/Off. Works great for single color whips. As simple as it gets.

3 Way Toggle Switch On/Off/On. Works great for dual color whips. Up = Primary Color. Down = Amber. Middle = Off.

Wireless On/Off. Works great for single color whips. RF hand held remote turns the lights on/off.

Heavy Duty Relay . If you're going to be integrating the whips with your running lights, it's critical to use a relay.

Fuse Holder. All 12vdc+ connections should be fused at the power source.

Short video showing two - 3' Heavy Duty LED whips mounted on this 2024 Western Star 57X. The truck has our DUAL COLOR Green + Amber lighting system installed which includes our UNDER-GLOW, GRILL and UNDER-CAB light kits. The LED whips are wired into the same system and operate using the same switches.

Brief video showing two - 3' Heavy Duty LED whips mounted on a POLARIS RZR PRO 4. In this installation the mounts are adjustable so the whips can be positioned as the customer wants.

Quick video showing two whips with our Bluetooth Dual Zone LED controller. One is wired to zone one. The other is wired to zone two. We're using our two color rotation feature built into the Bluetooth APP to show a flashing sequence of RED and BLUE; 180 degrees apart. When zone 1 is showing red, zone 2 is showing blue (and vise versa). It's a fan favorite. Of course you shouldn't be driving down the road like this but it gives you an idea of the possibilities. There's also a three color rotation feature which is commonly used for displaying RED - WHITE - BLUE. Another fan favorite.

Short video showing two, 2' Heavy Duty LED Whips mounted to this 2015 Volvo VNL780. We use the heavy duty horizonal double groove mirror mounts. The truck has our Dual Zone Heavy Duty LED controller with Quick Switch to trigger just AMBER for DOT compliance. Zone 1 operates the LED Whips. Zone 2 operates the Grill, Air Vent and Under-Cab light kits. The whips use our RGB+Amber (RGBA) LED technology.

Simple demonstration of the whips using our Bluetooth Dual Zone LED controller with the Quick-Switch feature. In this short video the whips are flashing red and blue opposite cycling and when the quick-switch is activated, the whips instantly turn off the red/blue sequence and only display DOT compliant amber. The Combo LED controller provides both RF wireless and Bluetooth control. Some of the more popular features include strobing, flashing, blending and breathing functions - all of which can be programmed and saved in presets.
