    That is great news, now for deciding...My feeling is the floods will be more useful, generally. When you took the photos, could you assess the effective distance on the lights? How much farther do the spots penetrate? Or, how much distance do you lose with the floods?

    Hmmmm I am a little dissapointed with the flood spread. Thought it might be a little wider, but I guess that is only a representation of like 10 feet away. I might have to just buy more and mount a bunch to light up around me. @IGGY do you have any diffused covers?

    I hear ya man! Speak your mind, no biggie.

    Yeah I hear you on the spread. I don't have time to test them at distance in a field where I normally go. I have a buddy with some diffused duallies, but he just left this morning for death valley so I don't have something to compare.

    As far as throw and distance, to answer @Tacomatwo as well, these gave a good throw out to 35-40 yards. The spot had more intensity at that distance, but the flood had more light distribution. So for example if there was a deer at that distance you could see it with both, but you could see more detail with the spot, if that makes sense.

    I think depending on your needs, flood/spot or flood/flood would be a good to have them as pairs on each side.

    On a side note, if anyone orders more than 2 pairs, I will eat the cost of shipping for the additional lights.

    If you order 2 pairs (4 lights) it's $13 to ship. If you order 3+ pairs (6+ lights) shipping will be $13 total. That brings the lights down to $77 for the pair after 2 pairs. Only with current stock obviously.

    Yea I've got plenty of distance throw, lets see here:
    50" combo radius bar
    2 30" combo bars
    2 Iggy 9" round LEDs
    TRS HID Retrofit with 55w HIDS

    I just want some up close filler light :D
    I'm sure these will work fine, just might have to toss some diffuser covers on them or grab some Rigid diffised duallys

    No worries! It's all good, if not you, someone else might have the same question. That's what I'm here for!

    Exactly what I was looking for.

    Now you are playing dirty. But, you win. Send me a set of each with the mounting brackets. 1 set spot, 1 set flood in addition to my previous order.

    Update. So I finally got the supplier to refund some of the lights that are being returned. I'm going to end up losing some money on this deal, but since most of you wouldn't mind the current lights, I'll be shipping them tomorrow. I don't want to have you all wait longer than you already have. I really appreciate your patience and understanding through all this!

    While the lights are great and the quality is fantastic, I don't like how this whole order was handled. I don't think I'll be placing another order for lights with them outside of the 9" round ones. They are a small supplier so the quality is great, but it seems like they have logistic issues when it comes to fulfillment. I would have expected them to handled this better, but that's part of the game I guess dealing internationally with small companies.

    On the bright side, I am getting some samples from another supplier to test out and check quality. It's a larger supplier so I'm hoping for better follow through, but there isn't as much customization. We'll see after the new year how they hold up to some winter testing.

    Thanks again for all the support everyone!

    I just picked up two more sets from Iggy. Super easy and professional. I did make one mistake today, though. Recommendation: DO NOT under any circumstances look at your Paypal orders history. (Between this, other group buys and TW vendors: :eek: I am now forgetting what I saw and will never speak of it again.)

    Well screw me sideways. Just as I think I'm in the clear, the plot thickens.

    I was packing everything to ship out tomorrow and I decided to check the fit of the covers to make sure everything is 100%. Guess what? They don't fit. FML

    The suppliers sent the covers for the lights they should have shipped in the first place. They are willing to refund the cost of the covers (obviously), but I know for some of you that's a deal breaker if the lights don't come with covers.

    Options now.

    1. Get refund on covers and refund everyone who bought them and include the ones that don't fit right for free.

    2. Go through PayPal for a full refund. (I'm leaning toward this)

    I am so fed up with this and I'm sorry to vent, but I needs to be said. I can't apologize enough for how messed up this had gotten. None of it is my fault which is the most frustrating part!!

    Here's how they fit:

    See how the tab doesn't fit in the groove?

    It should fit like this.

    They stay on, but they are not right.
