    Does a company make a light bar combo that can manually switch between flood and spot? Or do all the combo lights only work as a whole?

    Thanks

    That would be difficult since you would need a way to changed the reflectors to affect the beam pattern.

    I've seen those before but they are only "on" or "off". I wonder if there is a bar that you can turn just the flood on, or just the spot on separately on the same bar.

    Yeah you can on that one. Check the pics. The harness has two switches too;)

    That's the only one I've ever seen that has that dual function capability...

    Edit: details say it'll be dispatched from China for international orders. No biggie on that though.. their other warehouse is there. And still no issues with any of my bars I bought from them. Btw;)

    SDS Off-Road Lighting sells some bars that are spot/flood where the sides are flood and the center is combo. The sides can be wired to a different switch. Most of the time it is for the amber covers that they put on the sides so you can either run just amber, just white, or both. I plan on running my 30" hyperion bar as all white but I am going to wire the floods to a different switch. Check out their hyperion bars here. The amber covers are removable.

    I ordered mine a while ago but sent it to Brute Force Fab where my bumper is being built so that Billy can fit it into my front bumper for me. I will have it next month once it is done and I can do a real review but until then if you want to get one and do a review that would be awesome. I've heard that they are great bars. Also, they are really great company to work with. Great customer service.

    8400 lumens for the 50" and 12,600 for the 30"???

    Guessing that's a typo.. interested in seeing some output shots. As well as the different functions, in action, with those.

    Haha yeah I would guess a typo. I would assume a 1 is supposed to be ahead of the 8 or something. There is one tw member who has a 20" but I forgot who it is. The company has a thread introducing themselves and they have an output shot from him.
