The BavarianSimTec Beacon Lights are a pair of auxiliary LED lights for sim racing, with 9 LEDs per unit and a 6061 CNC aluminium chassis, that connect to the DDU5 dashboard over USB-C and are configured in SimHub, to alert you to critical events without taking your eyes off the wheel.
Designed as cockpit peripheral vision, the Beacon Lights show instant alerts for brake lock-up, loss of traction, ABS, low fuel, spotter or flags. They mount on carbon fibre arms and integrate directly with the DDU5 dashboard over USB-C, with no latency. They work exclusively with the BavarianSimTec DDU5.
