    Nuh uh. Been waiting for someone to post some decent output shots. I think they're more of a spot light. So I'm interested in seeing the curved version output.

    Found this. Another release from sunyee. Not sure how 'new' they are. Philips 3D bars. 3D isn't really new but I haven't seen Philips brand yet. Hm.. Pretty nice prices too!
    http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=191579734367&alt=web

    Also see they've got some cheap cheap 25w luminus led spot light cannons too. As well as their CREE version of the osram bars with the 4D/convex lenses.

    Just search the sellers items and sort to newly listed.. if anyone's interested..

    To the OP, get the 10 watt Cree led instead of 3w or 5w. Better output and throw. I got my 22 inch light combo light bar from ledwarehouse.com and it out does my friends double row 40 inch. My2 cents

    I do! I just ordered one and installed it on my Nfab light bar. I have ordered a 20 inch and bolted on the middle two tabs I'm going to mount 2-7inch round led lights on the sides. They do slide so you can match the holes.

    Goes to show you how these sellers just snag pics and use them for their listings. That yota is from a member here and the ones on his truck are all rigids. Makes me wonder how much they exaggerate on their output shots as well. Not saying that bar isn't nice. But it's certainly NOT the one pictured on the truck. Fyi. It's a chance. As it is with all China bars. Might be nice might not. Does it say what type leds it's got? I'd guess epistar for that price. I'd pass myself. Unless you're on a tight budget and wanna take the risk...

    If you decide to expand your quest, we have something that will work for you!
    When it comes to lighting, Quality over Quantity.
    There are a lot of people running "The Other Guys" Lighting with double stacked 50" Bars on the roof and a bar on the bumper.
    A well engineered light with larger reflectors will outshine those without. Our OnX6 uses High Speed Spot reflectors and is the furthest projecting LED Light Bar on the market.

    Take a look at this pic of a RZR running our lights:

    Let me know if you all have any questions!

    Thank You,
    Bailey, Baja Designs

    I believe it is a single bar from their OnX6 series, think it's the high speed spot, either curved or straight

    Well, the 4d osrams use the molded projection lenses in the front, along with osram fisheye leds. From what I've seen, it's a really tight, and kinda flat beam. There's hardly any spread at all, and like zero spill, but really good distance. Haven't seen any good output pics of the curved ones yet. The Philips are the same optics but use a Phillips led which I don't really understand how those would be better/worse than the osrams. But they're just supposed to be a more efficient led in a smaller package. Seen things like "most light out of a smaller surface" something or other.. looks like an upgraded smd to me. Idk I'm no expert. I really suggest you get a Baja designs onyx6 bar. They're awesome. Or vision x xpi. But I think Baja designs prices are more acceptable. Plus I'm sure there's a little TW discount out there for us.. But yeah, bigger reflectors with bigger leds are the way to go. You'll get a lot more usable light. If that's within your budget that is. Idk it all depends on what kind of lighting you're going for.
