    Straight from OffRoadLEDBars.com


    "Heres a sneak peak of the OLB Cbar on our Excursion stack mounts. We left the regular 50 on to show you the difference. Our Cbar features a 30 degree curve with our new optic system. It produces 24,000 lumens but distributes them more efficiently then the straight 50. They are now available for the purchase on Offroadledbars.com for $850 shipped in the Continental US. We will be posting output photos later this evening"

    I don't have any pics to support this only my word, but on the front bumper of my work truck I have 2 4" double row flood pattern lights mounted side by side. One from Aurora, the other Rigid. Both lights are the original flood optic/reflectors, and both are the 3 watt versions. I originally had the Rigid 4" leftover from another project and when I came across Aurora I purchased the other for the sake of comparison. Light output between the two is IDENTICAL. Same color, intensity, pattern, everything. If you didnt have previous knowledge of which brand is which there is no way that you could tell by looking at the light output from the drivers seat. Despite having different origins of manufacture they literally produce the same light, with the most significant difference between them... PRICE.

    Finally. Someone has done a comparison. Thank you Gutt.


    Here is a comparison on OLB's straight vs curved.

    According to them, "The straight combo beam bar has a concentrated beam in the center but lacks some side lighting. Lastly the Cbar has a very evenly distributed beam that has a much better peripheral lighting field. *** THE FENCE IS 500 YARDS AWAY AND THE BUILDING IS 650 YARDS***"

    I thought that too. That doesn't look like 650 yards. But I am surprised by the spread of the light.

    That's what my thoughts were. I like the look of the roof light but not practical for my application

    You should put a green question mark in place of the Toyota emblem. Ha.

    I really wish that one of the vendors here would come up with a clean laser cut mount for the flat spot on the top of the Tacoma fenders so we could cleanly mount lights similar to this. I've got a set of D2's ready to go, just waiting for someone to step up! @DirtDesigns @RelentlessFab @anyone???

    Not a fan of the FF's. Link to the CBI's? On the 2nd gen Taco fender's there is a flat spot that is just begging for a light mount. Perfect spot to add wide/cornering lights.
