TACTIK JT-2600C-36W 7.5" LED Light Bar
Quadratec Part #:
97109-4000
Description
Tactik’s LED light Bars combine the industry-leading power of American made Cree LEDs that exhibit super bright white 6000°K output that’s close to natural sunshine. Tactik kits are an incredible value for the money and include a pre-terminated wiring harness with relay and switch providing a quick and easy installation. Tacktic LED Light Bars are available in 4 widths and feature weather tight Deutsch-style connectors and stainless steel hardware. The durable, powder-coated and include cast aluminum mounting posts that are adjustable. Assemblies have an IP67 waterproof rating and feature combination 8° driving beam and 90° flood beam patterns. The 8° narrow beam LEDs provide light output for driving at higher speeds with longer projection with less peripheral lighting. The 90° flood LEDs provide ideal peripheral lighting for off road trail riding at lower speeds. Lamps are not legal for use on public roadways and are intended only for off-road use.

First thing I will say is that this works. I got this as a Christmas gift from my brother and was worried that from the price tag it would be a cheaply made China bar. It's not. It's well made and everything works perfectly as it should.
Saying that, this is a very small light bar and it doesn't put out a massive amount of light. Keep that in mind. I wanted this to throw light down on the trail right in front of me and it does the job. Combined with the headlights, I'm lighting up the tight Pennsylvania trails pretty well.
This is a well put together light, but not as bright as I hoped. Saying that, it gets the job done, and I'd buy it again if this is what I knew I'd be using it for. It does its job great.

Can the battery terminals on the wiring harness be replaced with a 12v cigarette type plug in to be powered?
While you could technically try to replace the battery terminals on the TACTIK JT-2600C-36W LED light bar's wiring harness with a 12V cigarette lighter plug, it is strongly not recommended and potentially unsafe.
Here's why:
Current Draw: The TACTIK JT-2600C-36W is a 36-watt LED light bar. At 12V, this translates to a current draw of 3 amps. While 3 amps might seem low, many vehicle cigarette lighter sockets and their associated wiring are often rated for a lower continuous current draw, typically around 1-2 amps, and sometimes up to 5-10 amps for short durations. Exceeding this rating can lead to:
Overheating: The wiring in the cigarette lighter circuit might not be thick enough to handle 3 amps continuously, causing it to overheat, melt insulation, and potentially start a fire.
Fuse Blowing: The fuse protecting the cigarette lighter socket is likely rated lower than 3 amps and will repeatedly blow, rendering the light bar unusable.
Damage to the Socket: Continuously drawing more current than the socket is designed for can damage the socket itself.
Voltage Drop: The thin wiring often used for cigarette lighter circuits can experience a significant voltage drop when supplying 3 amps, leading to reduced brightness and performance of the LED light bar.
Reliability: Cigarette lighter connections are not designed for the secure and continuous power supply needed for accessories like light bars. They can be easily dislodged, leading to intermittent power or the light turning off unexpectedly.
Safety: Directly connecting a relatively high-power device to a circuit not intended for it bypasses the safety measures designed for higher-current accessories, such as properly sized wiring and fuses directly connected to the battery.
Instead of modifying the harness for a cigarette lighter plug, the intended and safest way to power this LED light bar is by connecting it directly to the vehicle's battery using the provided wiring harness. This harness is designed with the appropriate wire gauge and likely includes a fuse and switch to safely power the light bar.
If you need a temporary or portable lighting solution, consider purchasing a smaller, lower-wattage LED light specifically designed to be powered by a cigarette lighter socket. These typically draw much less current and are safer to use with that type of connection.
In summary, do not attempt to power the TACTIK JT-2600C-36W LED light bar using a cigarette lighter plug. Connect it directly to the battery as intended for safe and reliable operation.

Can the Tactik 7.5" LED Light Bars, Quadratec Part #: 97109-4000, be daisy-chained together to simplify wiring?
A modification to the wiring harness would be required but you could pigtail two of these lights. The wiring harness is 40 amp and a single 7.5” 36W light bar draws 3 amps. Thanks for your inquiry.
