    I got some extra christmas money, so I wanted to finally snag the DD hidden light bar.

    question… which beam is better? flood, combo, driving? I do live on dirt roads and go camping often.

    To me, the combo makes the most sense.
    "The Combo pattern combines both the Driving and Flood optics. It shines light downrange in a focused, rectangular 20Wx8H degree pattern while also illuminating area around it in a full 80Wx50H degree spread. The Stage Series 30" Combo Light Bar features three driving lenses in the middle with two flood lenses on the outer edges."

    Nice thinf about the DD stage series is you can also easily/cheaply swap the lenses if you don't like the pattern.

    Personal experience, I say go combo beam.
