BavarianSimTec | Beacon Lights

No — BeaconLights are designed exclusively for use with the BavarianSimTec DDU5 dashboard. They connect via the DDU5's dedicated BeaconLight port and are powered and controlled through the DDU5. The DDU5 is required and sold separately.

A full setup uses two BeaconLights — one on each side of the DDU5 for left and right peripheral coverage. The DDU5 has two BeaconLight ports, one per side. Each BeaconLight is sold individually so you can start with one or purchase two for the full spotter experience.

Through SimHub, BeaconLights can display spotter blind spot warnings, flag statuses (yellow, blue, green, red, white), ABS and TC activation, low fuel alerts, and any other custom LED effect you configure. Each LED is individually addressable so you have full control over colour, brightness, and animation.

No — BeaconLights connect directly to the DDU5's dedicated BeaconLight port via the included USB-C to USB-C cable. No additional USB port on your PC is required. All power and data passes through the DDU5.

BeaconLights are configured entirely through SimHub. Once connected via the DDU5, they appear as an addressable LED device in SimHub where you can assign effects, colours, and triggers to each LED individually. No separate software or drivers are needed.

BeaconLights support any simulator that SimHub supports, including iRacing, Assetto Corsa, Assetto Corsa Competizione, Le Mans Ultimate, rFactor 2, Automobilista 2, F1 series, WRC, and many more. SimHub's supported games list is regularly updated.

Each BeaconLight includes a carbon mounting arm and 2x M5 T-Nuts that fit standard aluminium extrusion profiles found on most sim rigs. They can also mount to the DDU5's dedicated BeaconLight mounting points, keeping cabling clean and units in the optimal peripheral position.

BeaconLights ship directly from our warehouse on the Gold Coast, QLD. For in-stock orders, standard shipping typically takes 2–5 business days within Australia. Express options are available at checkout.
