    Or, too cheap to be good. Probably cheap Chinese light bars and pods. They don't say anything about having CREE leds in them.

    if you want disposable, sure. I wouldn't count on them lasting a while though. and LOL @ "$999" regular price.
    the $199 should be regular price, and marked down from there.

    If you're going to go cheap and dirty, just go Amazon. You could probably piece together a better deal and get exactly the same stuff.

    My $.02, get something with 10w chips. I have yet to see something that uses 10w's that i'd call bottom of the barrel cheap. It'll be $160 for a 30 inch, but you'll be happier.

    By definition... boats are designed to be used off-road.

    Now I get to wait probably 3 weeks for shipping... my wife won't be terribly happy that I got them.

    I think they just forgot a comma, or bad translation.

    Don't hate on the cheapo bars, lady friend of mine ordered a chinesium light bar from Amazon and it's brighter and better cutoff than my rigid... I don't think it'll last as long but for literally 1/10 of the price it doesn't have to.

    I prefer Phillips leds. Too many China companies have taken to using "Cree" leds which they may actually be, but probably rejected Cree leds.

    you get what you pay for...probably crap electronics and low end LEDs but I'm sure they're bright and will do the job.
