Who is using cheapie LED bars? (1 Viewer)

[Mad Matt]

I picked up the ARB intensity knockoffs and they are stupendously bright. Easily as bright or brighter than the big +40" Chinese light bars.

One word of caution these Chinese LEDs puke light. The light patterns suck. They are awesome at slower speeds, say up to 40 mph but they are too bright in the first 20-100ft so they screw up your long distance vision.

So if you want proper long range spots that are LED I think you will need to fork over real money.

You spend more than 200$ on a light bar these days you have penis issues. They are stupid cheap, stupid bright and from the ones I've used very reliable. Now if your offroad racing or your life depends on it go big. Willing to bet most of us won't use them but a dozen times a year. Big advantage to going more expensive is to get a good warranty. Like Lifetime LED's.

Have some eyourlife from amazon on my junk and no light issues. Now the anodizing fades. But that is what spray paint is for. Have one on my boat used in salt water with no issues.

Only issue I've had is poor quality stainless hardware. Rattle can it and move on

atually I like rigid LED lights but the price is sometimes too high for me, so I prefer going to amazon, the same LED lights but the cheaper price, you can try it http://www.amazon.com/Auxbeam-7200l...e=UTF8&qid=1433822363&sr=8-2&keywords=auxbeam

Here's my 36" spot/flood lights bar from mic tuning. Had it since December. Works great. Only issue now is I need to black out my good or else I get blinded from the glare.

Like others have said. When going cheap go with the best warranty. I'm using a lifetime led 21" led combo lightbar that also switches to Amber on the front bumper I just made. The light was 189 from 4x4 group buy.com. Mine actually got moisture in it and I called. They had me send a pic from my phone and in three days I had a new light in a prepaid return box at my door. I'm satisfied with the light and very happy with the warranty service.

Just bought a 40inch Westin LED light bar from http://4wheelonline.com/led-light-bars.248617. I know it is not the cheapest but still a lot cheaper than the Rigid. Will post a review about its brightness and performance once it is installed.

I have Kawell light bars (purchased from Amazon) on the front and rear of both my 80 and 60. Up front, combo spot/flood 20" bar now selling for $68.

flanked on either side by two smaller floods angled to the outside which are selling now for $13. I use a pair of these flood pods on the rear for auxiliary backup lighting.

This pricing is about 2/3 of what I paid for them a year and a half ago. I haven't done any special waterproofing to them and they've always worked, and they are stupid bright! I'm not offroad racing at speed, just crawling into camp after dark and I couldn't be happier with them. While they haven't been submerged, they have seen their share of rain and temps from -25F to 110F. I would not hesitate to buy these again.

So far I have had great luck with my cheap EBay LEDs. Even high temp steam pressure washed them many times with no leaks and they are, as my friends call them, Stadium lights. Stupid bright! 42" 240 watt on roof, 6" round on bull bar 30 or 70 watts (high and low, each light can run 3 or all 7 10 watt LEDs), and one 10 watt angled spot on each corner of the bumper for seeing around turns.
