The Diode Dynamics x Kuat DEK Roof Rack is a collaboration-built, light-integrated rooftop cargo system engineered for adventurers who demand style, utility, and serious illumination. Custom-fabricated to seamlessly incorporate LED lighting directly into the rack structure, the DEK delivers a clean, factory-style appearance without the compromise of afterthought light mounts.
Adventure-Ready Construction
Built from durable yet lightweight all-metal construction, the DEK features adjustable crossbars to clear antennas and sunroofs, generous T-channel slots for mounting accessories and cargo gear, and a modular low-profile design. The rack supports a 300 lb dynamic and 1,000 lb static weight capacity, and is backed by a Limited Lifetime Warranty.
Integrated SS50 Stage Series LED Light Bar
This DD8511 configuration includes the SS50 Stage Series LED Light Bar in the Sport DC (Dual-Color) Combo pattern. The SS50 is engineered from the ground up using modern optical, thermal, and circuit board technologies. Patented TIR optics capture and focus nearly all light output precisely where you need it, eliminating glare and wasted light.
Dual-Color (DC) Functionality
The Dual-Color configuration delivers both white and amber illumination from a single light bar. Switch between high-output white light for maximum nighttime visibility and amber light for improved performance in fog, rain, snow, and dusty conditions — all without the need for extra switches.
Combo Beam Pattern
The Combo beam pattern blends long-range distance projection with wide-angle peripheral coverage into a single balanced output, making it equally effective on high-speed roads and low-speed off-road trails.
Sport Power Level
The Sport model uses high-intensity automotive-grade LED emitters and TIR optics for excellent focus and output, offering outstanding performance and value in this integrated rack-and-light package.
Fully Illuminated Backlight
When the main beam is off, the SS50's backlight fully illuminates the TIR optic lens, providing a distinctive accent lighting effect not found on ordinary LED light bars. SmartSelect technology enables a selectable backlight color and modern welcome sequence.
