I would just want to know if it had cree led's or not. Otherwise, looks like every other Chinese light. Do they sell that bracket separately?

I have this light and can confirm that they are CREE bulbs. I picked it up from Frontrunners here in SoCal with the folding cover. The cover doubles as a "barn door" which helps you keep light off of the hood. It does work well.

The LED bar itself is actually made by Zero Dark lighting. http://zerodarklighting.com/collections/led-lightbars/products/3dr40
I couldn't find much information out there about the company or their products, but I have been impressed. The light has seen rain, snow, and dust and held up just fine.

I do not believe that they sell the bracket separately. Assuming you are referring to the "L" bracket to connect to roof rack.

Here it is on my rig. Thats a Frontrunner Slimline 2 roof rack fyi.

very nice these led bars, I want one for me hilux but I wonder are they really the replacement for the old school lights? I mean do these light bars give enough light? or is it more a gadget thing?

20,000 lumens is pretty serious. Sure some of the higher end LED bars out there output more, but 20k is plenty of light. Definitely not just a gadget.

I have been converting over to LED light from my old school incandescent lights. Much better quality and less volts. Not to mention, I have been using the cree lights from amazon with 100% success. I cannot afford Rigids.

@shawnFZJ Can you share additional photos of your set up?

I've been looking at these for my FR Wind Cheetah Slimline (v1) rack and asked FR if they had a mounting bracket for it.

They said they are in the process of creating one.

Cool, so its cree. I'd get it. Its just a Chinese bar like all the others.

Since you are asking the question, I'll assume you've never been around a light bar at night, they put out more light than you can imagine. Thus the demand.

I will take a few more photos when I can of bracket and wiring.

I think the light bars are insanely bright over the first few hundred feet but they struggle to cast a solid beam of light way down range. For high speed driving go 9' hid, but for slow trail driving LEDs seem solid.

They have made the bracket. We have yet to get them in the US but we should be soon. Call or email us at Front Runner and I can get your info and contact you as soon as we get them in.

I would agree with that assessment.

Any more feedback? What is the throw? What is the spread? What is the Kelvin?

Videos?

Any updates on these?

Still running strong...have not had a single problem with it. I did remove the cover for it since I was curious how much of my wind noise was from that. It is a bit quieter without it, but it is a nice feature to be able to cover it up and us it to block light on hood.

How did you run the wiring from the LED?
