Vehicle-Mounted Lighting: Comparing Your Options

A vehicle roof or panel is a genuinely useful mounting point for field lighting — elevated, mobile with the crew, and available without setting up separate ground equipment. Two Litenza products fit this role differently.

Magnetic Mounting Is the Common Thread

Both the LI-TP-200 and LI-S3 attach via magnetic base to any iron or steel vehicle surface, without permanent mounting hardware or drilling — the vehicle stays unmodified between uses.

LI-TP-200: Remote-Aimed, Higher Output

The LI-TP-200 delivers up to 12,000 lumens with remote 360° pan and 180° tilt control from up to 30m away — suited to illuminating a work area around the vehicle without anyone needing to physically re-aim it. This fits roadside repair work, breakdown response, or any task where the vehicle stays in one position while the beam needs to move.

LI-S3: Compact, Warning-Capable, Personal-Carry

The LI-S3 is smaller and lighter, with red/blue warning modes the LI-TP-200 doesn't have — suited to immediate roadside visibility marking as much as task lighting, and easily moved from vehicle to hand when a crew member needs to carry light away from the vehicle itself.

Choosing Between Them

If the priority is area illumination around a stationary vehicle with remote adjustment, the LI-TP-200 fits better. If the priority is immediate warning visibility plus a light that moves easily between the vehicle and a crew member's hand, the LI-S3 fits better. See our roadside warning lighting guide for more on the warning-specific use case.

Using Both Together

A vehicle fleet handling both roadside warning and task-lighting needs can reasonably carry both — the LI-S3 for immediate warning marking, the LI-TP-200 for sustained task illumination once the vehicle is positioned and stopped.
