When you order one, the first choice is <strong>Squadron Sport vs Pro<\/strong>, and the product pages don't make it obvious what the extra money buys, especially when the two pods look identical on the shelf.<\/p>\n\n      <p>Here's what actually separates them in the current <strong>Squadron 2.0<\/strong> generation: output, power draw, beam and lens choices, where each pod makes sense on a truck or Jeep, when you need the SAE version instead, and what running two or four of them means for your wiring.

The main changes:<\/p>\n\n      <ul class=\"baja-list\">\n        <li><strong>More output.<\/strong> Baja rates the Pro 2.0 at 41% more performance than the previous generation, and the Sport 2.0 at 35% more.<\/li>\n        <li><strong>Deutsch-style 4-pin connector<\/strong> as standard, replacing the old connector for better harness durability.<\/li>\n        <li><strong>9-color selectable backlight<\/strong>: red, green, blue, magenta, cyan, amber, yellow, pink and white. You set it through the included harness, and the light remembers the color when powered off.<\/li>\n        <li><strong>Updated uService<\/strong>, with clip-in reflectors and a redesigned gasket, so field lens swaps are faster.<\/li>\n        <li><strong>A redesigned bracket<\/strong> with more vertical adjustment for precise aiming.<\/li>\n      <\/ul>\n\n      <h3>Don't mix generations blindly<\/h3>\n\n      <p>Baja says Squadron 2.0 pods are <strong>not compatible with Squadron 1.0 accessories<\/strong>. That means lens kits, rock guards and similar add-ons have to be the 2.0 versions. Our catalog still includes some original Squadron and Squadron-R part numbers alongside 2.0 kits. The specs in this article apply only to 2.0 products, and older pods have different output figures. Check the product title for \"2.0\" before comparing, and don't apply these numbers to a first-generation pod.<\/p>\n\n\n      <!-- Section 3 -->\n\n      <h2 id=\"real-world\">Squadron Sport vs Pro in the Real World: Fog Pockets, A-Pillars, Bumpers<\/h2>\n\n      <p>Because both pods share a housing, you choose by what you need the light to do at each location.<\/p>\n\n      <h3>Fog pockets<\/h3>\n\n      <p>Fog-pocket light mostly lands close to the vehicle and to the sides. A Sport with a Wide Cornering lens is often enough here, and it keeps power draw low. A Pro makes sense if you want your fog pockets to double as forward driving light on dirt roads.<\/p>\n\n      <h3>A-pillars<\/h3>\n\n      <p>Pods up high on the A-pillars see over the hood and are often used as spot or cornering lights for trails. The Pro's extra output pays off here, which is why the A-pillar kits we stock for the Jeep JL\/JT and the F-150\/Raptor use Pro 2.0 pods. Mounted high, pods can reflect off the hood, so aim them carefully using the 2.0's added vertical adjustment.<\/p>\n\n      <h3>Bumpers and light bars<\/h3>\n\n      <p>If you're running four or more pods across a bumper, mixing works well: Pros with spot lenses in the middle and Sports with wide lenses on the outside. You get reach without doubling the load on your electrical system.

Kits are specific to model year and trim, so confirm fitment for your vehicle on the product page.\n      <\/div>\n\n\n      <!-- Section 4 -->\n\n      <h2 id=\"beam-patterns\">Beam Patterns and Lens Colors: Spot, Wide Cornering, Driving\/Combo, Amber<\/h2>\n\n      <p>Baja sells both 2.0 pods in four lens patterns and two lens colors.<\/p>\n\n      <h3>Lens patterns<\/h3>\n\n      <ul class=\"baja-list\">\n        <li><strong>Spot:<\/strong> a narrow, long-reaching beam for seeing far down the trail at speed.<\/li>\n        <li><strong>Driving Combo:<\/strong> a mix of distance and spread, and the most versatile single choice.<\/li>\n        <li><strong>Wide Cornering:<\/strong> a wide, shorter beam that lights up the sides and turns. It's a common fog-pocket pick.<\/li>\n        <li><strong>Work\/Scene:<\/strong> a flood pattern for camp, recovery and work around the truck.<\/li>\n      <\/ul>\n\n      <h3>Lens colors<\/h3>\n\n      <p>Lens colors are <strong>Clear<\/strong> or <strong>Baja Amber<\/strong>. Baja offers <strong>Factory Amber<\/strong> only as a lens kit for both pods. Amber cuts glare in dust, rain and fog better than clear light, which is why a lot of desert and overland rigs run amber down low and clear up high. With uService, you can change patterns or colors later with a 2.0 lens kit instead of buying new lights.<\/p>\n\n\n      <!-- Section 5 -->\n\n      <h2 id=\"sae\">SAE Squadron Versions for Street Use<\/h2>\n\n      <p>Here's the part people skip: <strong>the standard Squadron 2.0 Sport and Pro are off-road auxiliary lights.<\/strong> For lights you can run on the street, Baja makes the <strong>Squadron SAE<\/strong>, which Baja says is designed to meet the current SAE J583 fog lamp requirements. Baja rates it at 2,420 lumens per light at 29 W, with projector optics and a sharp cutoff so it doesn't blind oncoming drivers.<\/p>\n\n      <p>That's the answer to \"Squadron Sport vs SAE\": if the lights will be on during street driving, get SAE. If they're for trails, choose Sport or Pro.<\/p>\n\n      <p>Some kits combine both. Our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.trackreadyproducts.com\/fog-lights-c-799_800\/baja-designs-1720-ford-raptor-squadron-pro-sae-20s2-fog-pocket-kit-sae-fog-clear-p-50915.html\">2017\u20132020 Ford Raptor fog-pocket kit with SAE fog<\/a> is listed as a \"Squadron Pro SAE 2.0\/S2\" fog-pocket kit; check the listing for exactly what's included. Local laws on auxiliary lighting vary. We'll cover SAE vs non-SAE Baja lights in more depth in a separate guide.<\/p>\n\n\n      <!-- Section 6 -->\n\n      <h2 id=\"wiring\">Wiring and Power: What 30 W vs 65 W per Pod Means for Your Harness<\/h2>\n\n      <p>Using Baja's wattage ratings, a <strong>pair of Sport pods draws about 60 W<\/strong> and a <strong>pair of Pros about 130 W<\/strong>. At a typical 13.8 V charging voltage, that works out to roughly 4.4 A versus 9.4 A for the pair. Four Pros on one switch is about 260 W, or roughly 19 A. (These are our approximate calculations from Baja's wattages, not Baja figures.)<\/p>\n\n      <h3>What that means for your install<\/h3>\n\n      <ul class=\"baja-list\">\n        <li><strong>Use the right harness.<\/strong> Baja offers pods in harness and non-harness pair options, and vehicle-specific kits are built to plug in. If you add pods to an existing circuit, add up the total current and confirm the harness, relay and fuse ratings can handle it.<\/li>\n        <li><strong>The backlight has its own low-voltage input.<\/strong> Baja lists 11\u201314 V for backlight operation, set up through the harness.<\/li>\n        <li><strong>Consider the whole electrical system.<\/strong> Many trucks already run a fridge, a winch, an air compressor and a light bar. The Sport's lower draw can make it easier to fit lights into what your truck can supply.<\/li>\n      <\/ul>\n\n\n      <!-- Section 7 -->\n\n      <h2 id=\"kits\">Vehicle-Specific Kits We Carry (F-150\/Raptor, Super Duty, Jeep JL\/JT)<\/h2>\n\n      <p>Plug-and-play kits save you from fabricating brackets and harnesses.

How pods, bars and scene lights work together.\n      <\/div>\n\n\n      <hr class=\"section-rule\">\n\n\n      <!-- FAQ -->\n\n      <h2 id=\"faq\">Common Questions<\/h2>\n\n      <h3>What's the difference between the Squadron Sport and the Squadron Pro?<\/h3>\n\n      <p>Output and power draw. In the current 2.0 generation, Baja rates the Squadron 2.0 Sport at 3,200 lumens at 30 W and the Squadron 2.0 Pro at 5,921 lumens at 65 W. Both share the same housing size, IP69K rating, 9-color backlight, Deutsch-style connector, and the same four lens patterns and lens colors. Choose the Pro for maximum reach, and the Sport for lower draw and multi-pod setups.<\/p>\n\n      <h3>Is the Squadron 2.0 brighter than the original Squadron?<\/h3>\n\n      <p>Yes, according to Baja. It rates the Squadron 2.0 Pro at 41% more performance than the previous generation, and the Squadron 2.0 Sport at 35% more. Don't compare a 2.0 spec sheet against a 1.0 product listing, though. Older-generation pods have different output figures, and Baja says 2.0 pods aren't compatible with 1.0 accessories.<\/p>\n\n      <h3>Are Squadron Sport and Pro street legal?<\/h3>\n\n      <p>The standard Squadron 2.0 Sport and Pro are off-road auxiliary lights. For on-road fog lighting, Baja makes the Squadron SAE, which it says is designed to meet the current SAE J583 fog lamp requirements, rated at 2,420 lumens at 29 W with a sharp cutoff. Local laws vary, so check the rules where you drive.<\/p>\n\n      <h3>How much power do two Squadron Pro pods draw?<\/h3>\n\n      <p>Baja rates each Pro 2.0 at 65 W, so a pair draws about 130 W. At a typical 13.8 V charging voltage, that's roughly 9.4 A by our calculation. A pair of Sports at 30 W each is about 60 W, or roughly 4.4 A. Size your harness, relay and fuse for the total, especially if you're adding pods to an existing circuit.<\/p>\n\n      <h3>Which lens should I choose for fog pockets?<\/h3>\n\n      <p>Wide Cornering is the common fog-pocket pick, because fog pockets mostly light the area close to and beside the vehicle. If you drive in dust, rain or fog, consider Baja Amber, which cuts glare better than clear light. With uService, you can swap to a different 2.0 lens kit later without replacing the light.<\/p>\n\n      <h3>Do you have plug-and-play kits for my truck or Jeep?<\/h3>\n\n      <p>We stock vehicle-specific Squadron 2.0 kits, including a Sport fog-pocket kit for Super Duty and F-150, Pro A-pillar kits for the F-150\/Raptor and Jeep JL\/JT, and an SAE fog-pocket kit for the Raptor.
