I did a ton of searching and I found that most led light bars are built in China. I’m not surprised by this but I really wanted to see what the bottom end of the spectrum is like.

I purchased a Nilight 288w 20” combo light bar from amazon with their matching 14g harness. It feels heavy but most people end up tearing into it and resealing it with silicone. I can live with that down the line. $45 plus a $10 Harness and I was able to install it in about an hour with soldering of the Deutsch connector onto the light.

When this fails, I’ll look into something more premium. I’m happy with the pattern and output but I don’t believe the chi com ratings for power consumption at all.

$55 well spent and it bolted on where my roller fair lead would have been.

I can’t wait to get it on a truly dark trail.

How's it been holding up? I'm considering ordering a Nilite 52" curved bar. Worried about moisture build up as I'm up in Seattle area.
 
Two months of pretty constant rain and no issues. I’ve heard of people pulling them apart out of the box and just sealing them with good silicone.

It took 2 years for my knock off arb lights to finally get wet and stop working.

I have a 52 inch curved nilight on one of my '80s. Yeah it is cheap chinese crap. But if it get stolen or broken I won't cry over it. It reaches a bit further down the road than my highbeams (decent LED upgrades) and it throws a pattern that is about 140 degrees wide. It has saved me from moose a couple times in the two years I have had it on the rig and provides great light on the trail when the nights start getting dark. Since it is on top of the ARB bullk bar, it has seldom been submerged, but it has been a few times. It has been rained and snowed on lots. Still as dry as the day it arrived and still working as it should.
