    IDK. It has the 10w Crees and a decent IP rating. If I had a place for it I'd buy one. My cheap double row light bar has already survived a 4' drop to the concrete and multiple blastings of high pressure water to remove bugs and IDK how it stacks up to the other brands on brightness, but it seems bright as he'll to me.
    For that $70. I'd take that gamble.

    Guess I should've used better bolts. Just noticed they are rusting:/ I think my local Ace has some chrome allens. Maybe I'll replace them. Anyways yeah just make sure you dont make the hole too big. Or seal it so water doesnt get through. I really had to shove the wire through so its a tight fit..

    Lift, 32" Duratracs, sliders, LED light bar, interior LEDs, sweet tunes & sub, OBA, sliders, TRD 16" 6 spoke wheels, CB, HID spotlights, electrical mods, etc.
    just ordered a 20" 10W bar for my front bumper (which should arrive mid june) instead of the 30" 5W I have laying around (Which is for sale if anyone wnats it). The 20" 10W is 120w and the 30 was only 90, I wanted a 25" 10W bar but those dont seem to exist. They have 25" 5W (total 120W also) but I figured I would rather have brighter LEDs than more of them. We'll see how this compares to my big 40" bar that has 3W leds. I also was dead set on a single row bar for the bumper to keep it low profile. It's a 20/40 degree combo beam. Should be a nice addition to the front.

    Nice sounds like the same 20" I have. Post up some comparison shots asap yo!! Really curious to see the difference since they are so different as far as reflectors go. And wattage of course. Hard to compare mine as I have all 10 watt versions.

    How's the light color and durability been so far? Recommend them over others in the same price range?

    Hey guys I just put in a 30" light bar dual row and have it kinda rigged up now with wire nuts and stacons or however you spell it but I need a relay and switch and I don't want a crappy metal one but a real one and I have a place to put it but need to find a place to get them from any suggestions?

    Thanks to Brandon^^^^^ for hooking me up with the light

    Led's on the cheap. I've bought from them and they are the EXACT lights you can buy from others, only less expensive. Definitely worth a look!

    The video on that link is a good idea, but that dude doing the narration is a moron. Look, look, see how bright our light bars are when we shine them into the camera. Not on a wall, not in the outdoors, but really really bright when you stare into them. Great sales pitch = FAIL!!!!!!

    Lol yeah I completely agree with you on that point.
    I bought the h4 headlights due to them being almost $100 cheaper than I could find anywhere else. They are very bright (much brighter than stock by far) and completely plug and play. Light is pure white I'd say around 5000-6000k. Felt the need to pass the savings on as my experience was a good one.

    Just the basics
    Sorry couldn't read through 72 pages about light bars. Just picked up a 44" bar from ebay. Does anyone know a way to mount these to a yakima cross bar with a wind fairing? I use a wind fairing to deflect air from the area of my camper which is near the cab of the truck. I don't really want to mount it to the camper itself.
