    Apparently I got the last 28". There's 2 smaller sizes available.

    Got it installed just now. Not sure I like mis matching my lights. Wished they had one in a 42" too... But I'll give it a shot and see how it performs and blends in with my other bar.

    Got a couple of those still on my watched list.
    No experience first hand, but they're great lights. Especially with the larger reflectors and 10w leds.
    Couple people have had them that ive seen on here. One guy posted output shots and they were impressive.

    Ive been looking for one but all white. All I could ever find was the dual color optics, which I'm not a fan of. That or they're white, but curved. And one guy ordered a curved white, but got the dual color sent.. So Idk.. But I wanna see how they compare to my vision x single row clones with 10w leds. Because often times the single rows with larger reflectors and 10w leds will outperform others, especially the generic double rows by a long shot.

    Another thing with that bar, is you should be able to swap out those amber optic lenses for clear and flood/spot. There's a seller I follow on eBay that offers them.

    What bar specifically are you running atm? Should be able to tell if it'll be outperformed by the new one.

    Yeah I like the dual color optics and I love the single row bars with large housings, and for like 120 bucks I'm probably going to just try it out and see how it does. I have this ebay bar in my bumper right now and it gives me plenty of what I would consider "near" lighting. Really want a 40" bar to send some light as far as I can see (and have some amber lights cause I think it looks badass)
    Sorry the pic sucks I still don't know how to easily get pics on here. I only uploaded a couple.

    That looks like a 10w bar you have already..

    Edit: you might be more interested in a 5d/4d bar. Looks like @Heffery5000 above has a 5d. Those are better suited for long distance(but they do tend to lack in spill). Got any output pics Jeff?

    I dont have pics now but i can try to get some next time i go out. Mine is 5d combo so has spots in center and the outer edges are floods so it has decent spread. My bars made by auxbeam its not super expensive but seems to be of decent quality see what these new england winters do to it

    Yeah I had a single row 20" 5d bar with 15 watt leds in it. It was crazy impressive for a 20" and threw pretty far. But just didnt have enough spill for my liking. But I do miss it. And cant seem to find another one like it in ~30", let alone the 20" anymore. Thats why I got this 8d projector type bar, in hopes it would throw far, but it doesnt. Its basically a vamped up driving/fog light. Ha.

    I have them on a few of my trucks. I have had alot of different lightbars and they are my favorite to date. Great output, since I put it on my taco bumper I haven't really needed my roofbar. Its also a bonus you can just change the lenses for what light combo you want.https://instagram.com/p/BW_aJWWh_s5/

    Time to replace my top bar.

    Looking for a 40" single row, black reflectors. Bright and waterproof. White light is preferred, but a white/amber combo would be fine, too.

    Anybody have an amber bar and actually think its functional and worth the money of having 2 (white and amber) or is it just a fad?
