The new 8800 4×6 LED headlight from JW Speaker gets really hot! This is a good thing because if people are driving large trucks through the mountains ice and snow buildup on the headlight lens can be a real safety concern. Until now, if you want a hot headlight, you needed an incandescent headlight…and nobody wants that because they’re not bright and use a ton of energy! A couple years ago Truck-Lite introduced the world’s first heated lens LED headlight housing for sealed beam applications, that was a 7in round housing! 

The First Heated Headlight:

A couple of years ago Truck-Lite introduced the world’s first heated lens LED headlight housing for sealed beam applications. It was a 7″ round version like the Truck-Lite 27275C. In 2017 JW Speaker released a 4×6″ sealed beam version as one iteration of their Model 8800 Evolution 2 product line. The JW Speaker model 8800 Evolution 2 4×6″ sealed beam LED headlight housing comes in a black or chrome style, and each is available in a heated lens or non-heated-lens variant.


The new 4×6 heated lens 8800 is available in a black or chrome version.

After 5 minutes of continuous use:

The non-heated lens 8800 4×6 LED produces an average of 74 degrees Fahrenheit.
The traditional halogen 4×6 sealed beam produces an average of 120 degrees Fahrenheit.
The heated lens 8800 4×6 LED produces an average of 115 degrees Fahrenheit.
