Wash the machine without thinking about it.
The Diamond RGB and Diamond Duo rock lights are rated IP69K — the rating written for high-pressure, high-temperature washdown, not just for rain. Pods and whips carry an IP68 rating.
Built in North Carolina · Since 2019
We didn't make lighting cheaper. We made it better.
Our own circuit boards. Our own firmware. Housings machined from billet aluminum, assembled and serviced by the people who designed them. That is the whole reason a Rhino costs what it costs.
- Built Engineering, machining and assembly under one roof
- Controlled Our own firmware, on boards we drew ourselves
- Serviced Send it in and we repair it — 2–3 weeks from receipt
Out in the wild
Serious builds run Rhino.
Not studio builds. Not renders. Rhino-equipped machines photographed and submitted by the people who own them.
Customer proof · Google reviews
Don't take our word for it.
Real owners, real machines, real feedback — including the part most brands would edit out.
“Their products are a bit pricey but they are 100% worth it.”
“I've had my set of 4 foot whips on my machine for over 2 years now and considering the amount of abuse they get where they're so tall they still work like brand new.”
-
“Amazing whips. Have rolled my rzr whips were 90° to the ground and they didn't snap. Rolled the rzr back over and the whips were still working just like normal.”
-
“…owned my automotive customizing business for over 10 years and have 15 years in the game and I have never came across such amazing products.”
-
“Went on a trip to WV over the weekend and they were by far the brightest lights out of our group. After seeing a side by side comparison with the competitors lights I'm glad we got them!”
-
“Someone called me later to confirmed if I meant to order it in this way… they gladly made sure everything was right before they ship it off to me with the wrong product wiring I had chosen.”
-
“Put the 18inch light whips with springs on my pickup truck snow plow and they are great. I hit a mailbox at 25mph or little faster in a subdivision with one of the light whips and it held together and still works perfectly”
-
“I work for Great Western Motorcycles and Rhino lights are the only whip, rock lights we use.”
-
“I was able to talk directly with the technical team to figure out the most efficient wiring method and exactly what parts I needed.”
-
“I've had 3 different sets of lights and these are by far the brightest and best built… great customer service and excellent product.”
-
“I ran into a snag early in my install got ahold of Josh and he had me on the right track within minutes”
-
“Josh and his team went above and beyond to make sure I had what I need! The quality is second to none, and the customer service is extraordinarily amazing!”

The price question
Cheap lights are cheap
all the way down.
You are not paying more for the same light. You are paying for a different one. Here is where the difference actually is.
The commodity model
Rhino
The board
A finished module, bought in and fitted into whatever housing
it will go in.
We draw the board for the product it goes in, and we own the
schematic. Six revisions of the Duo board are on record.
The housing
Chosen from a catalog, because the housing is not the thing
being designed.
Machined from 6061 aluminum and black anodized, sized around
the board and the heat it makes.
The firmware
Whatever shipped on the chip. It cannot be changed, so the
product cannot be improved after it is sold.
Written here. It is why whips and rock lights on the same system
run as zones instead of as separate products — that cannot be
bolted onto a bought-in board.
When it breaks
Buy the kit again. Nothing about it was built to come apart.
Send it in. We repair it, typically in two to three weeks from
the day it lands here.
Who answers
A seller who did not make it, and cannot tell you why it does
what it does.
The people who built it. That is not a service promise, it is
just who is in the building.
That is the entire price difference. It is also the entire product difference.
What that buys you
Six problems you stop having.
Engineering is only worth paying for if you can feel it. Here is what the last section actually changes about owning the lights.
Your lights behave as zones, not as separate products.
Whips and rock lights on the same system run as zones rather than as separate products that happen to be the same color. That is only possible because the firmware and the controller are both ours. Rhino builds two systems — RGB and RGB+W — and a build runs on one of them.
One dead light is not a new kit.
Products we designed are products we can open, diagnose and repair. Submit it through the RMA system and it comes back — typically two to three weeks from the day it reaches us.
White that actually looks white.
On the RGB+W and Duo products the white comes from dedicated white emitters, not from red, green and blue mixed together to approximate it. The Duo runs 5000K white on its own independent channel.
Parts made for your machine, not for everything.
The Pro R headlight is a complete replacement assembly for the Pro R, Turbo R and Pro XP, and the halos are cut per platform. Where a part is vehicle-specific we build it that way instead of shipping a universal bracket.
Start with part of it. Add the rest later.
Buy the lighting you need now and add to it over time — whips this season, rock lights next — and parts built for the same system join what you already own. Pick RGB or RGB+W at the start and expand inside it.
The range
Four things we make. All of them ours.
Rock lights, whips, pods and a complete replacement headlight for the Polaris Pro R platform. Every one of them is ours end to end, so they can be bought one at a time.

Axion RGB+W · Built in North Carolina
RGB for the show. White for the work.
A customer Bronco on Axion, running the dedicated white channel.
Light the whole scene in dedicated white, then switch to vivid RGB from the same linkable system. Axion is designed, programmed, potted and tested by Rhino in North Carolina.
A spec on a box isn't a test result.
- Dedicated white channel White output comes off its own channel. RGB can mix an approximation of white — Axion doesn't have to.
- 8,020 lux Documented output. Illuminance, read from the finished light at 13 in on our bench. How we test.
- Rhino-engineered Our own board and our own firmware, programmed, potted and tested in North Carolina.
- Linkable RGB+W Start at four lights and build up to full-vehicle coverage on one run.
The photographs show the result; the bench test is where the number comes from. Also measured there: 20 W, at 14.3 V drawing 1.4 A. Three high-output emitters, engineered for output rather than for an LED count.

Engineered, not sourced
From the PCB up.
Anyone can buy a light and put a name on it. These are the four steps that happen before that, and we do all of them.
We draw the board
This is the Connex Pro layout. We own the schematic, which is why the product can still get better after it ships.
We populate and pot it here
Boards arrive in panels and are built by our own solder technicians in North Carolina, with hand-selected components.
We machine the housing around it
6061 aluminum, black anodized, finned. The housing is not a box the board sits in — it is the heatsink.
Then we measure it
The finished light goes on the bench at charging-system voltage and we publish the reading. See the numbers.
On the bench
Measured. Not marketed.
Anyone can print a bigger number on a box. A component rating tells you what an LED can do in a laboratory — not what the finished light does once the optics, the driver, the housing and the heat are in the way. So we put the assembled product on the bench and publish what the meter said.
Axion RGB+W
Sold as
20 W
- Supply voltage Set to match a running charging system.
- 14.3 V Test condition
- Current draw Read off the supply at full output.
- 1.4 A Measured
- Power draw 14.3 V x 1.4 A. The supply reads current to 0.1 A, so this is 20 W, not the 20.02 W the arithmetic implies.
- 20 W Derived
- Illuminance At 13 in from the assembled light.
- 8,020 lux Measured
Measured is a reading. Derived is arithmetic on readings — watts here are measured volts times measured amps, not a wattmeter. Test condition is a setting, not a result.
- 14.3 V A running charging system sits near 14 V, not 12 V. Testing at 12.0 V measures a condition your vehicle is rarely in.
- 13 in Distance the illuminance reading was taken at. Stated because a lux figure without a distance means nothing at all.
- Instruments SPS-30DM bench power supply. Handheld digital lux meter (x10 range).
We would rather publish a smaller number we can prove than a bigger one we can't.
RhinoLink · pre-order
One ecosystem. Two lighting platforms.
Because the firmware is ours, the whips and rock lights on a system are not separate products that happen to be the same color — they are zones of it. Rhino builds two: RGB for the 2.0, 2.5 and Diamond, RGB+W for the 3.0 and Axion. Add another part on the same platform later and it joins in.

The trade
Rhino dealer network.
Independent powersports shops, off-road outfitters and installers stock Rhino and fit it for their own customers. If you would rather have it installed than install it, start there.
The company behind it
Serviceable. Not disposable.
Serious equipment should have somebody standing behind it. Because we designed these products, we can open them, and that changes what a problem costs you.
01
You file it online
Submit the request through the RMA system and it generates your packing slip and shipping options. Coverage is assessed per request, for the original purchaser.
02
We repair it
Typically two to three business weeks, measured from the day it reaches us rather than the day you post it. Usually faster.
03
You watch it happen
Repair status is tracked in your account with email updates, so you are never guessing where your lights are.
04
Changed your mind instead?
Uninstalled and in its original packaging, it goes back within 30 days for a refund, less shipping. Exclusions and a restocking fee can apply.
Huntersville, North Carolina
Built here, on purpose.
Engineering, board assembly, machining, product assembly, potting, service and support all happen under one roof — a family-owned one. Not every product needs every one of those steps; what matters is that none of them is somewhere else. That is not a patriotic flourish, it is a quality-control decision.
When the board, the housing, the firmware and the support desk are all in the same place, a fault found on Tuesday can be fixed in the next revision. When they are spread across three suppliers and an ocean, it cannot. That is the whole argument for making it here, and it is why the person who answers the phone can tell you why your light does what it does.
Since 2019
Everyone else raced to make lighting cheaper.
“We own our schematics, and by rejecting the outsourced model, we maintain total control over quality from the first component to the final seal.” Rhino Lights
It started in a garage with off-the-shelf parts, and the first real decision was to stop using them. Everything since has been the same decision made again on a different part.

December 2019
A whip light, in a garage
Josh built the first prototype whip out of off-the-shelf parts. The next entry in the timeline is hiring an engineer, because being different meant doing what others would not.
-
November 2020
Nothing on the market could hold them
Rhino whips were the thickest and heaviest made, and no spring sold anywhere would take the load. So we started making springs. That is the pattern the whole catalog follows.

Today
Boards, firmware, housings, app
Six revisions of the Diamond Duo board. RGB+W housings finalized in 2025. A Bluetooth controller, its firmware and its app, all developed in-house.
Still deciding
The awkward questions.
Why does Rhino cost more than a generic lighting kit?
Because a generic kit competes by lowering what it costs to make, and that money comes out of the board, the housing and the support. We spend it instead on designing our own electronics and firmware, machining our own housings, building them here, and being able to repair what we built.
You are not paying more for the same light with a different name on it. You are buying a different product and a different ownership experience.
What happens if something stops working?
You send it in and we repair it — typically two to three business weeks from the day it reaches us. Coverage is assessed per request for the original purchaser, and the whole thing is tracked in your account. If you have simply changed your mind, uninstalled products go back within 30 days for a refund less shipping.
Do I have to buy the whole system at once?
No. Start with the lighting you want now — a set of whips, four rock lights — and add to it whenever you like. Because the control system is ours, what you add later on the same platform joins what you already own. RGB and RGB+W are separate platforms, so a mixed build is planned as two.
Ready when you are
Buy lights once.
Start from a complete kit or configure a single product. Either way it is all still ours when it needs fixing.
