If you’re not gonna spend the money on a good light then just buy the cheapest 40” led bar on Amazon. Get a combo but it wont matter much. The optics on those cheap bars are so bad they’re basically floods.

I thought this was BS, but for the record, I did some research.Mudgudgeon,
I agree that may help but there is another incurable factor limiting LED effectiveness. The frequency of their light output is higher, leading to more light diffraction in ordinary air with its humidity and dust. Longer lightwaves such as halogen go right through those microdroplets. Shorter (LED) lightwaves bounce around in the droplets. So LEDs tend to create a lot of close in dazzle in the air, which is light coming back at you, not going far down the road. Said another way, they have to create enormous output to overcome the loss going through the air to end up with anything downrange. In the rain and in the snow, it's really bad and I'm surprised the DOT has not gotten there s*** together and done some actual testing. Lazy gummint bastards. Try holding an LED flashlight outside tonight up at your eye level. You'll see a bunch of dust motes and microdroplets floating around in front of your eyes. That's the phenomenon. Do the same with an incandescent flashlight and you won't see those at all.
I have a full surround sound LED system on our camping Vanagon and its hard to beat the output/price/battery drain for close up lighting. But downrange they are still sub par unless the output is crazy high and then you have tremendous blowback limiting the actual function of forward lighting. A conundrum....
I don't think LED light Bars will achieve the same long beams like old school spots and pencil beams
Rain would make everything appear red if this was true
I think Baja's new laser lights might give the old school lights a run for their money. Can't wait to buy the knockoffs on Amazon.

I've been looking at Black Oak light bars.
I plan on putting a 40" single row on my Bowfin Cruisers Rack.
Also plan on putting a 10" on a Slee Shortbus.
They come is Flood, Spot, and Combo.
Also in 3W and 5W. What would you suggest getting?
sorry on that one, but no experience with the brand. you should report back with results!so any thoughts on the original question?
I have a 40" or so long on top, went with a combo, I regret not getting a spot as I get too much reflected light off the hood.
I’d ridden in a 80 with satin black vinyl center on hood, when wet from rain/whatever - it may as well be gloss paint.
For that price, does it say "FIRE THE LASER!" every time you turn them on?
