As a lighting expert, I was excited to see the step by step manufacturing process. I have sold GE (Current GLI) LED products for many years. Their attention to quality is second to none. Your facility is the first one I have seen to employ the same standards and practices from design, engineering, testing, and manufacturing. Well done! This is why I am willing to spend a little more for quality lighting products from Diode Dynamics. I understand the need for quality optics, heat sinks, vibration testing, and quality control. Not all LED products are created equal and it’s clear from this tour that you have set the bar high.
Wow! Thank you for the kind words and support! 🤝👏
Great Video, no fluff, every minute filled with info... and The spokesman doing the tour did a great job too.
I've spent over 25 years in the lighting industry and have visited many production facilities during my tenure. I can honestly say I am very impressed by your facility. It is clearly among the best I have ever seen. There are many other lighting companies that don't come close to the technology you are using in engineering and production. I now know where I'll be buying lighting for my Bronco.
Thanks for the support! We strive to provide the best quality lighting from start to finish! We're here to help when the time comes to order lighting for the Bronco!
As a dedicated customer of over 10 years, this video is simply amazing and I knew DD was the best during my first order and so happy to see the new facility…thanks for sharing and keep up the great work/products!
Thank you for the support and dedication! 👊
Great video and I appreciate how employee-oriented your company appears to be, and that you work toward keeping production and development on US Soil. Well done!
Much appreciated! We're glad you enjoyed seeing the facility!
Love your product. I work in a company where continuous improvement is the path forward. Yall are there.
Thanks for the kind words, Mark! Continuous improvement is a foundational pillar here at Diode Dynamics. We wouldn't be anywhere without it!
Absolutely fantastic facility tour! Thank you. Thanks for producing these in the USA
Thank you for the kind words! We appreciate it!
I love the detail
Thank you for the support!
Had elite series headlights on my Jeep. Super happy with these products. Now I have SS3 pro fog and SS5 combo crosslink lightbar. Maybe add another amber lights or cover in the future. My jeep still doesn't have enough lights........ Really can't go back to other brands anymore and Diode Dynamics has great customer service. I am so happy with my lights setup now.
That's great to hear! If you want any help or suggestions on what could be next for your build, feel free to reach out! We're always here to help!
I was impressed with Diode Dynamics' excellent customer service. They honored the 3-year warranty on my 2-year-old super bright brake light for my Mazda Miata. One of the LEDs failed after around two years of use, and they swiftly sent me a free replacement. Thank you, Diode Dynamics!
Thanks for sharing! We appreciate your support!
Very Impressive operation! I'll be purchasing some fog lights.
We appreciate the support! If you have any other questions before you order, feel free to reach out!
Great tour and very nice facility! Been purchasing your products since around 2012 and love the quality of your bulbs.
Thank you for the continued support! 👊
Paul, how are you? It's nice to hear the technical information from your mouth! Any thoughts to update the SL1 led lamp? For example why not produce an H4 led lamp? Morimoto seems to be ahead of you in this regard. You know, the H4 led lamp they made both illuminates the upper reflector and heats the headlight glass. What do you think about it, thanks
What a great tour of a great company! Soup to Nuts USA manufacturing is so awesome to see these days! As as "well seasoned" electrical engineer and IT leader, I can tell you that your companies "wow factor" isn't just the awesome engineering and manufacturing...it's also directly attributed to your leadership and others who know how to build a high performance team of motivated individuals! Would love to work for an organization like DD! I've just ordered earlier today on your Black Friday sale some holiday bling bling for my 2021 Bronco. Love the SS3 pods and the ability to totally change the persona of the module by swapping lens is a great engineering feat. I've changed ditch pod with Combo to Flood and it's awesome the quality and the beam pattern differences per lens. I'd like to better understand the engineering in fabricating the different types of lens. Anyhow, my newly ordered SS3 Pro SAE Fog (amber) were ordered today and I just saw where they were packed and shipped same day! Thanks again and if I'm in the area, I will plan ahead to visit. Cheers and happy holidays.
Thank you for the kind words and your support! 🤝 We welcome you to come see the facility in person!
Just purchased my first set of light bulbs for my Tacoma and I have to say it is very impressive what you guys do, it is clear from this video that you guys are proud of your infrastructure and process. I am happy that I can support a business like this one, will purchase more to complete my Tacoma look.
Awesome! Thank you for the positive feedback! We look forward to lighting your Tacoma with unmatched performance lighting in the future! 💪
This is why I’m happy to shell $$ for Diode Dynamics products over the competition. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the support! We appreciate you! 💪💪
Amazing new facility! I had been at the old building a few times for a tour and to pick up some orders.....also an interview. It's great to see how far DD has come and all of the product lines you have.
That is awesome! Thank you for the support!
Congrats on the new facility! Alot has changed from when I first found yall in 2015 at your old facility! Keep up the great quality products and thanks for your contributions to the industry!
Thanks so much!! We appreciate the support! 🤝
Love this!
Thanks for the support! 🤘
Impressive!
Thanks for the support! 💪💪
What a clean and well-organized facility, great tour.
Thank you for the positive feedback!
Even though I’ve already gotten a tour, this was still very satisfying to see again!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Love it 👌🏽 So glad I always choose to buy from Diode Dynamics 🇺🇸
We appreciate the support! 🤝🤝
I am so impressed with the factory and the product you guys produce in the USA And definitely, I like to visit the factory when I’m in St. Louis .
Our pleasure! Feel free to call if you're in town and schedule a tour!
Been using diode dynamics lights for 4 years or so love them
Thank you for the support! 🤘
@diodedynamics thanks for the great product

Thanks for the comprehensive tour! Very illuminating. Get it? LOL Seriously, I appreciate you taking the time to introduce your team and facility. It all looks remarkable, and it's neat to see how your products are groomed for market. I'll certainly consider purchasing some of them when I establish a need in the future.
Thanks for the positive feedback! We're here to help when the time comes for some lighting upgrades!
Very nice facility Paul been purchasing Diode Dynamics products for a while now recently a 8 pod rock light for my truck looks fantastic
Very cool! Thank you for the support! 👊🙌
Awesome. Looking to add some lights to my Bronco!
Now is the time! Our July 4th sale is going on now!
My dream job, soon I'm joining I hope so ❤
Can't wait for diode to come up with their own yellow SS3 fog light light type headlights!! 😍
Unfortunately, since yellow headlights are not approved for SAE standards, it is very unlikely that we will make them. We can still pass that along to our engineering team for consideration!
might have to apply after seeing this video
We're always looking for cool people that shares enthusiasm for lighting and anything in the automotive world! Feel free to apply here:

Great walkthrough! I can't wait until you guys announce the new headlights for the 4Runner... hint hint. Add them to the other 5 sets of lights I already have.
That's a good idea! We'll be sure to pass that along to our engineering team for future consideration!
Great video and a very neat and tidy work environment. Finally something that’s entirely made in the USA. But I would like to see some comparisons to other products out there like skyline elite vs DD elite or elite max. I bought both and the skyline doesn’t even provide the amount of lumens.. my first choice was DD but it was sold out and I had to replace those halogens on my jeep wrangler jl 2023. I’ve got the elite now but still need to install them.
We can look into that for future videos! Thank you for the support!
Have you seen reduced light output in any of your SL1 lamps?
My passenger side lamp seems to have less output than the DS lamp.
We have not seen any reports of them dimming over time! Feel free to give us a call at 314-205-3033 Monday-Friday 10 a.m.- 5 p.m. CST, or shoot us an email at contact@diodedynamics.com, and our service team would be happy to help you with that.
Outstanding facility, staff and products! How many sq. feet is your new facility? Thanks for the tour!
Its about 70,000 Sq. Feet!
Great videos 👍
Driving Simulation is a very excellent setup, don't know how accurate is that compared to real world.
And boy I didn't know that you had an SMT line and you assemble the circuit boards in-house.
And pls 🙏 sell the 4300K for all lights directly like how you do 6000K and 3000K. I know it is adding varaints but lot of people will get benefited.
Thanks for the support, and the suggestion! We'll pass that along to our engineering team!
Beautiful facility but let's see those laser lights!
Our engineers are still ironing out the details on the laser series! We want to make sure they're perfect before releasing them into the wild! 😏
All this and still no RGBWA halos!?! Cmonnnnnnn
We can pass it along to our team for future consideration!
what type of epoxy is that?
It's a proprietary 2 part epoxy!
Wait! Where are your NETWORK engineers?????
We have an IT guy! 🤘😏
