What Is the Light in the Truck Bed Called?

This is a question that many truck owners have asked themselves. The answer is, it is called a “bed light”.

A bed light is a device that is mounted in the truck bed, usually below or near the tailgate. It is designed to provide illumination for cargo, passengers, and other items in the truck bed.

Bed lights are typically mounted on the inside of the truck bed and are either wired or operated by battery power. They can be manually turned on and off, or they can be set to turn on when certain conditions are met.

Bed lights come in many different styles, shapes and sizes, so finding one that fits your specific vehicle should not be difficult.

Bed lights are often used for nighttime work or leisure activities such as fishing, camping and tailgating. Since they provide illumination over a wide area they make it easy to see where you are going while driving at night. They also help to make your vehicle more visible to other drivers so you can avoid potential accidents.

Bed lights come in a variety of colors including white, red and blue. Some even have LED strips which produce colored light that can be used to create different lighting effects such as strobes or fading patterns of light.

Bed lights are relatively inexpensive and easy to install. Most require only basic tools such as a screwdriver or drill. If you have any questions about installing a bed light it is best to consult with an auto parts store or professional installer.
