    They throw a little farther than a KC C20, for example, but the C20 throws more light to the side. It's close, so you can't go wrong with either. That being said, last I heard was the lights aren't being sold anymore.

    Oh shit I thought that they were each and wasn't too happy. That's for the pair? I'll be getting some shortly!

    Looks like they were lying about building them? Their vendor page is gone as well so I assumed they got banned?

    Well, what he told me was he "rebuilt" them after getting it from the supplier. Checking the internals and resoldering any connections. Think he said he replaced the led but can't remember. But it appears he didn't if Chris inspected them. Idk. Either way they are available on eBay now for much cheaper. Mine still work just fine. But I think the lenses are starting to yellow.

    Yeah, he was completely full of shit about the lights. LEDs were the same and everything.

    I mean, they're still nice lights. Especially for what they're going for now on eBay. I like mine. But I do plan on eventually replacing them with something else. If you really want the cannons, save and get the real vision x ones. Or even some Baja designs. They even make some knock offs of the BD's too but for the price Baja designs sells them it's worth it to spend the extra on these types.

    I took them apart, and compared them to another guy who got his right from the Chinese vendor.
