When the sun goes down, your rig comes alive. Whether you’re conquering trails, setting up camp, or showing off your build, lighting transforms the experience. But great lighting isn’t just about brightness — it’s about control.
With the Trigger Controller, you can create smart, customizable lighting scenes that adapt to every environment — all from your phone or wireless remote. It’s time to ditch the manual toggles and bring intelligent illumination to your adventures.
Why Lighting Scenes Matter
Lighting scenes give you the ability to preconfigure groups of lights and accessories for specific conditions. Instead of flipping individual switches, one tap activates the perfect combination — tailored to your activity, mood, or time of day.
Think of it as “modes” for your vehicle. Trail mode. Camp mode. Show mode. Each scene sets the tone, saves time, and enhances your setup.
Trail Mode: Precision and Power
When navigating technical terrain, visibility and focus are everything.
Suggested Scene Setup:
- Ditch lights: On at full brightness for corner illumination.
- Rock lights: On low dim for wheel placement visibility.
- Light bar: Full intensity for forward trail view.
- Rear floods: Off — avoid glare from dust reflection.
Pro Tip: Use the Trigger App’s dimming feature to fine-tune brightness for better contrast and reduced eye strain in dusty or foggy conditions.
Camp Mode: Comfort and Convenience
After a long day on the trail, you need a calmer setup for cooking, relaxing, and unwinding.
Suggested Scene Setup:
- Rock lights: Warm ambient glow (30–50% brightness).
- Awning or area lights: On low to medium for visibility.
- Fridge and water pump: Powered on through accessory channels.
- Roof lights: Off — preserve night vision and reduce bugs.
Pro Tip: Use the timer function to automatically shut off non-essential accessories after a set period — protecting your battery overnight.
Show Mode: Style Meets Technology
At meets and expos, your lighting should do more than function — it should perform.
Suggested Scene Setup:
- All accent lights: Synchronized with dimming or strobe patterns.
- Interior lights: Pulsing or alternating for visual effect.
- Underbody glow: Low intensity for color and contrast.
- Power management: Keep lights on accessory power, not ignition, for stationary display.
Pro Tip: Mount the Trigger RF remote on your steering wheel or carry it in hand to activate scenes from outside the vehicle — ideal for demos or night photography.
Designing Your Lighting Circuit
Smart lighting begins with smart planning. Here’s how to design your system for maximum efficiency and creativity:
- Map your accessories — List all lights and devices, then assign them to Trigger Controller channels logically (e.g., front, side, rear, utility).
- Label each channel — Use the Trigger App to name channels (“Camp Lights,” “Fridge,” “Ditch Lights”) for quick identification.
- Set fuse ratings — Match each channel’s fuse to the accessory’s draw for safety and longevity.
- Experiment with brightness — Adjust dimming profiles to avoid glare and create ambiance.
- Save your presets — Once you’ve created your perfect setups, store them as favorites in the app for one-touch access anytime.
