NOVSIGHT HALO Series Wins the 2025 Red Dot Product Design Award: The World's First Off-Road LED Light Pods to Reach the Pinnacle of the "Oscars of Design"
Introduction: A Design Revolution Illuminating the Wilderness
When off-road adventurers venture through uncharted territories, light is not just a line of sight; it's a guarantee of life. In April 2025, the NOVSIGHT brand, with its revolutionary HALO series of off-road LED light pods, became the world's first off-road lighting fixture to win the Red Dot Product Design Award. This milestone not only breaks the zero-record of the "Automotive Modified Off-Road Lighting Fixtures" category in the history of the Red Dot Award, but also redefines the design standards for off-road lighting. From hardcore functionality to exquisite aesthetics, from the harsh polar conditions to a sustainable future, the HALO series, like a "blade of light," paves the way for off-road enthusiasts worldwide
I. The Stringent Certification of the Red Dot Award: Why Does the HALO Series Rewrite History?
The Red Dot Award's pursuit of "innovation" and "aesthetic value" makes it a touchstone for global industrial design. The HALO series stood out among nearly 10,000 entries from dozens of countries. The key breakthrough lies in restructuring the product's essence through design language, completely shattering the ingrained logic in the off-road modification field, where "function comes first, and aesthetics are compromised."

Inspiration Source: Transplanting the Industrial Aesthetics of F1 Racing Cars
Drawing inspiration from the streamlined protective frame of the HALO safety system in F1 racing cars, the HALO series combines the racing-grade aerodynamic structure with minimalist geometric lines, creating an iconic appearance that is both futuristic and functional. The jury commented that it "redefines the visual language of off-road gear with its sculptural silhouette."
-
Design Revolution: From Tools to Visual Totems
-
Surrounding Halo Structure: A circular daytime running light surrounds the core of the light body, mimicking the mechanical beauty of the HALO system in racing cars while increasing daytime visibility by 40%.
-
Expression of Contrast Aesthetics: The matte metal back shell collides with the silver polished ring, creating a visual impact of precision machinery in the rough off-road scenario.
-
Breaking the Mold in the Category: The Red Dot Standard Shines on the Off-Road Modification Field for the First Time
As the first automotive off-road LED spotlight to win the Red Dot Award, the HALO series proves that "non-mass-produced modified parts" can also drive value through design. The judges pointed out that "NOVSIGHT elevates niche professional equipment into an aesthetic symbol that the public aspires to own with the rigor of industrial design."
II. Decoding the Design of the HALO Series: Three Dimensions That Conquered the Red Dot Jury
-
Innovation: A "Light Engineering" for Off-Road Scenarios
-
"Light Zone" Concept Design: The HALO series offers multiple beam patterns in the same size, allowing users to choose according to the actual usage scenarios. It also comes in multiple sizes to fit different installation positions on vehicles.
-
Integrated Structure Design: The shell is integrally forged from aerospace-grade aluminum, passing the IP68 waterproof and dustproof certification and extreme temperature tests from -40°F to 212°F.
-
Functionality: The Philosophy of User Experience Behind Hardcore Performance
-
Halo Daytime Running Light Design: Data shows that using daytime running lights can reduce the vehicle accident rate by 12.4%. The HALO series features a separately controllable circular daytime running light, breaking the single-function pattern of being only used as outdoor off-road LED light pods. When driving in urban areas, the HALO daytime running light can be turned on to increase vehicle recognition and improve safety.
-
Aesthetic and Emotional Value: Industrial Artifacts in the Wilderness
-
"HALO" Curve Aesthetics: The curved cutting shape echoes the tough genes of off-road vehicles, and the aerospace aluminum coating on the surface presents a "matte silver" texture.
-
Ritualistic Interaction: The LED daytime running light automatically lights up when the device is started, giving the equipment a "sense of life" that resonates with the emotional projection of off-road enthusiasts towards their gear.
III. The Backstory: A 3000-Hour Journey of Polar Refinement
-
Driven by User Pain Points: The Truth from the Plains to Everest Base Camp
The NOVSIGHT design team delved into the off-road community, collecting feedback from over 500 players worldwide.
"Traditional LED light pods have a poor understanding of beam patterns. They only pursue brightness, which turns into a white fog in sandstorms and is even more dangerous.""These LED light pods are useless when not off-roading."——These insights directly led to the birth of the HALO series.
-
Extreme Testing: Reborn in the Furnace of Design
-
The 3000-hour test covers both laboratory and field tests in places like the Arctic, Joshua Tree National Park, and Moab.
-
It surpasses the IP68 test standard, with tests like remaining lit for 24 hours underwater at a depth of 1 meter in "hellish" environments.
-
CEO's Declaration: Illuminating the World with Design
Alex Wang, the founder of NOVSIGHT, emphasized in his award acceptance speech, "The HALO series is not a cold tool but an extension of the spirit of exploration. We will continue to challenge the 'impossible' and let every beam of light carry our respect and protection for nature."
IV. Market Enthusiasm and Future Blueprint
-
Global Fanaticism: Witnessed by Data
-
The first batch of pre-sale inventory of the HALO products was sold out in 18 hours.
-
30 days after its launch, the HALO series could be seen in many corners of the world. (User vehicle installation cases + location map)
-
Product Evolution: Endless Innovation
-
Preview of HALO 2.0: Multiple form changes of the daytime running light and enhanced lighting ability of the light zone.
-
Ecological Expansion: Gradually entering more usage scenarios from off-road LED light pods, such as taillights and work lights.
Conclusion: Light Belongs in the Wilderness
The Red Dot Award is not the end but the starting point for NOVSIGHT to reshape the rules of off-road lighting. As an Off Road Gear Design Master, we use design as a blade to fuse industrial precision and wilderness romance into the HALO series. It is not only a tool to illuminate the unknown but also a totem for adventurers to communicate with nature.
Journey with the HALO series and let every beam of light answer the call of the wilderness.
