    Hey guys,

    Which one of you guys makes/supplies the "highest quality" knock off light bars?

    Looking to buy a 50inch (possibly a 20 too) non-radius, combo projection, light bar.

    Rigid is too damn expensive, and I know some of the chinese made ones are getting damn good.

    PM me or just reply here.

    Only been on my roof for 2 weeks, but its been out in the rain, at highway speeds hit by huge bugs. Definitely a great bang for the buck so far. I even dropped it on the cement floor when installing it. Hasn't missed a beat yet ( i know only a whole 2 weeks), but it does have about 700 highway miles on it. left it on with the truck idling for a hour got warm but not super hot.

    A 50" bar for $99? Sounds too good to be true.

    Ive got a brand new in box Rigid SR2 50" I will sell for cheap. Saw a overseas led retailers sponsored race car lights fail at the SCORE desert challenge race last weekend. Still havent seen anything from China that matches the USA made quality, although yeah they are getting better.

    Just bought a 42" Light bar on Amazon after seeing the 50 for so cheap. Hell, even if the light fails, I probably couldn't find an Aluminum chassis to make my own light for the price i paid for this entire fixture. I'll use it until it fails and then fix it and make it better.

    Rouge4 Bars are better than most of the other crap that comes from China, but still not on Rigids quality level. Those are some of the more pricy bars Ive seen from overseas - I sell a Rigid 50" SR2 single row for less than their sigma 50" single row.

    If you arent racing, they will probably do everything you ask of them.

    Are you buying a single row or dual at that price?

    Careful on the cheap light bars as reading many forums on them some are prone to water intrusion. It may be best to spend your money once and install once.

    Taken this evening, my Rigid's. The bar up top is 40" combo and perfect to fill the roof rack gap.

    If you are going that route, at least get it from a company that will stand behind the product with a decent warranty, like AVEC light bars or similar. The ones from Amazon or Ebay may say lifetime warranty, but good luck getting it covered.
