    They've actually gone down in price! I paid $350.. I WAS gonna say go for the one you listed for that price. But for $30 more you can get this 42"... Keep in mind they are most likely exaggerating on lumens. But same thing with mine too. They list the same rating vision x does which definitely isn't true.. And I don't think they make a 40" if you were set on that length though. Idk. Good deal either way, but I know for a fact with mine and from that seller, it's a great bar and no issues whatsoever.

    I know this may be common knowledge, what gauge wire should be appropriate for a 240W light bar? Running 10-30A with a 20-40V relay. And approx how many feet will I need with the light bar mounted on the roof. Thanks guys

    Our OnX6 LED Light Bars use 12 gauge wiring and can power up to 50"/315W/26.25A on a single harness.
    Once you go larger than 50" we make them in Dual Power (2 harnesses per Light) to avoid too much draw

    Thank you very much! Do most light bars come with the the usual positive and negative wires that just need to be spliced or does the wire coming from the bar lead to a certain connector? Reason for asking, my Rigid dually's were wired to a female connector that needed a male harness.

    Happy to help!
    Depending on the lights, they come with a 2-pin or 3-pin Weatherpack connector. Our lights include the male end so you can connect to your existing wiring.
    For Our LED Light Bars and XL Pro they feature an extra green wire that allows you to dim and/or strobe the light.

    Thank You,
    Bailey, Baja Designs

    What do you "need" the light for? That pic is of my truck with that light and it's brights as hell! With two on the hood brackets like that, I'm talking full "daylight mode". Just curious if there is a specific need for more lumens.

    There's lots out there to choose from. Are you looking for name brand items or something that won't break the bank?

    Here's just a few on eBay I'd think would be good. The first one has the 10watt leds and a pretty good light I think. I almost got them before I got my 4.5" cannons.
    http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=271841897694&alt=web

    These are a clone of the (iirc) arb lights but are 8"ers.
    http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=191587648286&alt=web

    Here's the cannons I got. I paid over twice the price for mine. They are vision x cannon clones.
    http://pages.ebay.com/motors/link/?nav=item.view&id=271704435666&alt=web

    Again just a few. Look around and you'll find a bunch. If you want high end name brand then I'm not sure what's out there atm, as far as round lights with "more leds" go anyways..
    Edit: but you can get a name brand such as the Baja designs lights and have more light with just a few leds. They will outperform just about anything out there.. if you have the coin that is.. I just can't afford them atm:(

    Yeah buddy! Those are pretty sweet. I'd like to see them in action. Seems like I saw a vid before of the arb but don't think it did them justice. Can't remember now what it showed if anything. I think there's a thread in here somewheres regarding them. And seems like they were crazy expensive like over $600 or some such bs. Lol. So I'd say that's an awesome deal even though they are clones. 5 watt leds. 1 year warranty, meh, better than nothing. But that seller is great for sure. I bought all my lights from them and zero issues..
