The Model 8800 Evolution 2 is a high-performance 4×6" LED headlight designed for demanding heavy-duty applications, and it is available in both heated and non-heated versions. This advanced lighting solution features J.W. Speaker’s proprietary SmartHeat® Heating System, which automatically de-ices the lens based on ambient temperature conditions. The heated version incorporates a thermally conductive grid system that reacts in real time to changes in temperature, clearing ice and snow up to twice as fast as comparable lights. This intelligent, driver-independent system ensures continuous visibility and safety in harsh environments.
Notably, the Model 8800 Evolution 2 is the industry’s first headlight to meet the proposed National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) guidelines for a 5-Star NCAP-compliant low beam headlight. It surpasses Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) 108 performance targets in key areas such as light output (lux), beam pattern (minimal glare), and proper light placement based on approved mounting positions. J.W. Speaker has utilized advanced solid optics technology to achieve this performance, a feat not possible with conventional reflector optics.
Designed as a drop-in replacement for standard 4″x6″ headlight buckets and panels commonly used in heavy-duty trucks, the Model 8800 Evolution 2 is engineered for easy installation and reliable operation. It features a tough die-cast housing with salt-spray resistance for superior thermal management and durability. The design also incorporates effective condensation control to maintain clear, uninterrupted lighting output.
This LED headlight is fully street-legal, with DOT, Transport Canada, and ECE compliance etched directly onto the lens. DOT-compliant versions meet section 108 requirements of the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS), ensuring legal use on U.S. roads. ECE versions are compliant for use in the European Union and other countries that have adopted ECE regulations, providing global reliability in terms of visibility, longevity, and performance.
The Model 8800 Evolution 2 is an ideal safety solution for a wide range of vehicles and applications including agriculture, automotive, construction, industrial, material handling, mining, motorcycles, off-road 4x4, powersports, railroads, specialty vehicles, and commercial trucks and buses. It significantly improves forward visibility, reduces glare, and optimizes beam placement, making it especially effective for long-haul drivers and around-the-clock operations.
Complying with rigorous standards including ECE Reg 112, IEC IP69K, and Buy America requirements, the Model 8800 Evolution 2 is engineered for exceptional durability and trusted performance. Installation is straightforward with drop-in compatibility for 4″x6″ housings, and full instructions are available through J.W. Speaker’s support resources. This advanced headlight solution brings premium visibility and unmatched reliability to your fleet or vehicle, no matter the operating conditions.
