    Yea but the number is bad. Wonder whats up with that. I mean, no disrespect to mike or anything, I thought he was a great guy and I bought ALOT of product from him...but these LED bar companies come and go pretty quickly, I can think of a handful that have stuck around for over a year. It happens, we had a good run, usually they finish off whatever orders are in and then don't take any, so those that have already paid, you'll probably get a light bar in the mail at some point. Or who knows man, something big could be happening and you guys are just on the shit end of the stick while you wait and think the worst. If Mike doesn't jump on for like 3 months, then yea...you're probably SOL lol, but I'd just keep emailing and Pm'ing just to see whats up.

    it really is too bad if they went out of business since Mike was a great guy to deal with. They do have an Instagram page that was posted on 2 days ago so idk what is up I'll just wait and see what Mike says if he comes back on.

    its ok guys, if you go on their website they say they have a new contact number

    also anyone know if the SLD2 lightbars (Avecs double row ultra slim lightbar) are the same height as the single row light bars? or are they somewhere in between a double row and a single row?

    Ok... so just talked to Joe... here's the story...

    They're installing a phone system and their phones were jacked... but the 1-888-734-7781 is working and that's their new number

    Mike had a family emergency and is out of the office (hope all turns out ok)

    As for my warranty issue, I'm sending it back to them and they're going to get it all sorted.

    Pitch fork stored :cheers:

    You have the same light bar I do. I like it, it's really bright, but I want to get rid of the scatter you get with the combo lens. I've heard the Optic lens focuses the beam more, just looking to see what the difference is.
    What did you have installed before?

    no, but I told them I wasn't happy with the 37" single row to begin with, and wanted to see if they'd let me swap it for a 20" optical (the optical series came out just after I bought mine...) they said no issue but there may be a cost difference (according to their site mine was $40 more so I doubt it)

    Mike, could you shoot me a price for a 30" optic, all spot light bar (assuming I can get all spot pattern, not combo)? Thanks

    No, it definitely has the characteristics of both. The outside 6 or 8 LED's on the light bar are flood, the inside are spot. That gives you a nice, wide light path directly in front of the truck and still throws light out quite a ways. Personally, I don't like the light close to the front of the truck, I want it all shining down the road. The close up light makes your eye focus close, making a long range light less effective. Again though, this is just my preference based on how I use the lights which is mostly back road driving.

    Yessir I see that but I think my bar maybe facing a little high which makes it seem more of a spot . Is that what the optic does shoot farther and focused ??
