At the center of KC’s new Gravity® LED 7” Headlight is our patented Gravity GRD™ (Gravity Reflective Diode) technology, which is engineered to maximize every lumen emitted from the LED. By directing the LEDs back into the optical reflectors at the most ideal angles we achieve maximum light output at a fraction of the wattage. This proprietary technology provides a highly functional beam shape with extraordinary beam distance.

• Patented Gravity Reflective Diode (GRD) Technology
• Precision die-cast aluminum housing with machined polished reflector optics, engineered to improve distance, visibility and clarity
• Easy Plug-n-Play for 07-16 Jeep JK/JKU Wrangler

The Gravity LED Pro 7” headlight uses KC’s patented Gravity Projector Optics (GPO). Utilizing this proprietary projector optics technology in addition to the GRD optics, KC engineers were able to deliver a more controlled beam pattern while setting new industry standards in light shape, clarity and output.
