Experience With Cali-Raised Work Lights (Pods)

Background- Had a Go Rhino roll bar installed with 5 Cali-Raised pod work lights a year ago. I recently noticed that 2 were going out and a third was flickering. See pic. Because the lights are retractable, I also noticed they were filling with water. They're supposed to be waterproof. I contacted the shop that did the install since they didn't give me any warranty paperwork. Their front desk guy told me he ordered replacements but now that line has gone dead. (That's another story in itself) Anyways, I ordered some new ones. Splicing them in shouldn't be a problem. BUT just wondering if anyone is running them and what your experience with reliability has been since 3 of 5 only made it a year?

 

I have 2 pairs of the Cali Raised Side Projecting pods, bought one pair 2 years ago and on of them has a good amount of condensation inside of them. Tried taking it apart but stripped one of the last screws so remained that way. Just waiting to get a set Rigids to replace them. My back ones I've had for almost a year and they've been great except i just recently spilled brake fluid all over one of them and it cracked in multiple places lol. Good luck tho

 

They are known for just being rebranded low quality China lights, that don't last. Condensation, leaks, failures, powder coat failure, hardware rusting are all common occurrences on the forum.

 

Thanks. Appreciated.
