GLOBAL LIGHTING SOLUTIONS

See why Vision X is trusted around the globe as a leader in LED lighting solutions for harsh environments.

We Are Lighting Evolve

Our mission is to provide the worlds toughest lighting solutions for those who push beyond their limits—in harsh environments—and see every challenge as a chance to shine.

At Vision X, we believe light is more than seeing what’s in front of you—it’s a symbol of resilience, adventure, and the relentless pursuit of progress.

From the depths of the mines to the edge of the trail, we empower those who work hard, play hard, and never back down.

The Vision X Story

Founded in 1997, we didn’t just enter the lighting industry—we changed it. We helped revolutionize the LED lighting industry by challenging outdated technology and pushing performance further than anyone thought possible. Our journey began in off-road racing, where we pioneered the first HID light with an integrated internal ballast and later introduced the world’s first mass-produced LED light bar at SEMA—setting a new benchmark for the industry.

As our technology advanced, we expanded into heavy-duty and industrial markets, partnering globally with leaders such as NASA, Komatsu, and Firetech to deliver LED lighting solutions built for the most extreme environments. As a true manufacturer, we control every step of the process—from engineering and optical design to component selection and production—ensuring uncompromising quality, reliability, and performance.

Today, as part of the Brown & Watson International Group, we continue to challenge the status quo and push the boundaries of what advanced LED lighting can achieve. Everything we build reflects our commitment to reliability, innovation, and our promise: Lighting Evolved.

Durability as a Priority

We don’t simply manufacture LED lights—we engineer complete lighting solutions designed to outperform and outlast in environments where conventional lighting fails. Backed by more than 20 years of manufacturing expertise, we apply the most demanding technical specifications from multiple industries across our entire product portfolio.

From advanced two-stage powder coating systems proven in marine salt-water exposure, to anti-vibration mounting architectures engineered to withstand the extreme shock and harmonics of heavy mining equipment, every detail is purpose-built for durability.

We engineered for the harshest operating conditions on earth, where reliability is critical and failure is not an option.

Highest Rated Specification

We engineer for the highest industry standards and beyond. From high pressure water ingress protection to precision output and beam pattern standards; if there is standard to be met, we will meet or exceed it.

Ultra Efficient Top Binned LEDs

Output isn't everything when it comes to lighting. We aim for the best luminous efficacy possible meaning that we only use top CREE LEDs to produce the most lumens per watt out of any light in its class.

Rigorous In-House & Field Testing

Our manufacturing facility houses state of the art testing equipment but that is only half the story. We use trusted industry partners from racers to mine operators to field test each light before it hits the market.

Quality Components

Our lights are only as durable as the components we use in them. That is why we only use the tried-and-true components from trusted manufacturers such as GORE® Vents, and Deutsch DT Connectors.

Our Journey

Milestones that shaped our company

1997

Vision Motorsports was formed

Originally a stereo shop, we evolved into selling headlight bulbs and fog light kits as aftermarket automotive upgrades.
2005

First "ALL IN ONE" HID OFF-ROAD LIGHT

Our first innovation combined the HID light and external ballast into one housing—an achievement that went on to win the Trophy Truck class at the Baja 1000 and launch Vision X into the off-road market.
2008

Introduced the first Vision X LED Light Bar

Like many true tech stories, our entry into LEDs began with a vision and a conversation in a garage. Just one year later, that idea took center stage at SEMA with the debut of the industry’s first mass-produced LED light bar—the Xmitter.
2010

Vision X brings LED TECH to Mine SITES

From automotive breakthroughs to mining challenges, our vision for better lighting continued. The Ripper and Pitmaster were born to replace halogens, offering durable, high-performance LED illumination for the toughest mining applications.
2014

Partners with HiViz to Launch LED Brow Light into Fire Market

LED technology was advancing rapidly, and HiViz saw an opportunity to bring it to the fire service. Together, we developed an LED light bar for fire trucks—raising the bar for performance, reliability, and safety. Today, HiViz is a leader in fire and emergency lighting.
2015

Massive Manufacturing Facility Upgrade

Nearly tripling in size, our Korean facility became a hub for advanced production. With shock and vibration testing and an in-house SMT machine, we reinforced our commitment to engineering excellence and full quality control.
2021

Joined Brown & Watson International Group

BWI has been a leader in automotive and power management systems in Australia for years, and this acquisition allowed us to bring their expertise into our fold—expanding our product range and manufacturing strength.
