METAIRIE, LA (03.18.26) – Flashtech Lighting today announced the official launch of the F5 LED Bulb System, a patent-pending, next-generation modular lighting platform engineered for both headlight and fog light applications. The direct successor to the company’s F4 series, the F5 is available now through authorized Flashtech dealers.
Since its launch in 2016, the Flashtech F4 has earned a reputation as one of the most dependable LED bulb systems in the industry — trusted by professional installers, retailers, and automotive enthusiasts nationwide. Built on nearly two decades of lighting expertise, the F5 takes everything that made the F4 the standard and advances it with a patent-pending modular architecture that solves one of the most persistent challenges in the aftermarket lighting industry: SKU complexity.
“The F4 set the standard for Flashtech for nearly ten years,” said Stephen Gordon, Founder of Flashtech Lighting. “The F5 is the natural evolution of that platform — more flexible, more refined, and engineered to solve the real challenges installers and retailers face every day. What we’ve built here is genuinely new for this category, and the market coverage it delivers with just two SKUs changes the conversation for every distributor and dealer we work with.”
Two SKUs. Up to 90% Headlight Market Coverage:
The F5 platform launches with four SKUs — but the story for distributors and dealers starts with just two. The F5A (single beam, 6000K) is engineered to cover the H7, H11, 9005, and 9006 bulb sizes from a single retail package, representing an estimated 60– 84% of halogen-replaceable headlight sockets on the road today. Add the F5B (dual beam, 6000K) covering H13 and 9007, and the combined two-SKU system addresses an estimated 85–90% of the halogen-replaceable headlight market. For distributors and dealers, that means stocking two part numbers and being able to serve nearly any customer that walks through the door.
A Patent-Pending Modular Architecture Built for the Installer:
At the heart of the F5 is a proprietary, patent-pending modular architecture featuring a single core LED bulb platform paired with interchangeable sealed power connectors and precision locking collars. Each retail kit ships with all the collars and plugs needed to create multiple bulb sizes right out of the box — one package, multiple fitments, no additional purchases required for supported sizes. The system is also field-expandable: additional collars and plugs are available separately to support extended fitments including 9004, 9012, H10, 5202, and P13W.
A standout feature for professional installers is the F5’s tool-free 360° beam pattern adjustment. After installation, the bulb body rotates freely by hand within the locked collar — no set screws, no Allen keys, no removal and reinstallation — allowing precise alignment of the LED chips to match any reflector or projector housing geometry and preserve factory cutoff. It’s the kind of detail that separates a product designed by people who install from one that isn’t.
The F5 platform produces 6,000 lumens and utilizes an optimized aluminum heat sink for sustained thermal management and long-term performance. The full F5 lineup includes the F5A single-beam in 6000K pure white, the F5A single-beam in 3000K golden yellow (optimized for fog light applications), the F5B dual-beam hi/low in 6000K, and a dedicated non-modular H4 dual-beam in 6000K for H4/9003/HB2 applications. Every kit ships in custom Flashtech retail packaging, shelf-ready out of the box.
