LED Light Bars

zero issues? how long have you had them? ive been eyeing those for awhile now.

 

Like 1.5 years. But they've been through a lot of washes and rain and az sun and used pretty much every single night.

 

any pictures of them on at night?

 

Um, yeah, but not sure if you misunderstood me or not, I don't have those arb clones. I just meant I have other lights that I've purchased from that seller.. Which would be the vision x evo prime clones..

 

gotcha, pictures of those at night?

 

just to make sure, were talking about these right?

 

i like them, love their output. . just checking were on the same page.

 

Ohhh, no no no. Those were all my lights. Lol. The cannons aren't installed in some of those photos.

This is for the cannons. They're nice. I think Chas of mrt as mentioned in that thread isn't offering them anymore. Anyways the ones I listed above are much cheaper. There may even be the 6.5" ones for sale somewhere. I haven't looked. But the 6.5" cannons are supposed to be a huge jump over the 4.5" ones. I didn't think you were considering those. The arb clones would be the way to go for sure though. ~14k lumens. I think that's just for one too. Keep in mind that lumens rating is probably a bit exaggerated as they are clones and most likely rated the same as the genuine ones.

 

im going for the arb clones. i need to get my bumper first to see if itll fit due to the center hoop

 

i want those cannons as roof lights

 

Here's mine...

 

Does anybody know the length of the brackets for the 42" bars between the roof rack? I made some that were ~10" but were way too short, light bar wouldn't clear the roof in the middle. Thanks

 

Just throwing out a couple finds here.

And last but not least. Really interested in this one. Not sure how new it is but..

It's got 15 watt Cree mk-r2 leds. It's the same design as my current bar which is the vision x evo prime, but with the 15 watt Cree's AND the 4d lenses. Claims 17,100 lumens at 180 watts. Hmm..

Edit: comparing this 20" to the 'original' clone with 10 watt leds, it's got 6,780 more lumens. But, I'm guessing it's gonna be a tight ass beam pattern just like those osram bars. Which would be better for my setup as I've got plenty of spread with my roof bar and want more down range. I might have to get me one. Also keep in mind that the lumens ratings are probly exaggerated. And that lumens aren't everything. But, it certainly seems like it'd outperform most other 20" bars. Idk..Maybe I'll order one up and do a comparison. Won't get around to it for quite some time though.

 

Do you guys think this remote could handle my 40 inch led bar ?

Lmao. After all the hype about people being concerned with running led bars on road and worried about the authorities (including myself), I've officially come to a realization that cops (at least in my area) don't give a shit about running lights at night. And when being used responsibly that is. I've had a few close calls running my lights near cops at night, but none like tonight. I was driving in a residential area near some court house at 1:30am and when I passed the court house, a cop parked outside with no lights on at all, turned his led light bar on for a few seconds right as I passed. And it was one of those newer bars they have where they're all led and can use a section of it as just flood lights in the front. Kind of like a show off between us. He didn't turn any other lights on or strobe it as a warning or anything. Anyways.. thought that was cool as hell. Had a couple other cops make comments and ask about my lights. I even got pulled over a while back for speeding and at the time I thought it was because of my lights and didn't realize I was speeding. He asked if I knew why I was pulled over, said "my lights!?" With a big grin on my face. He goes nope, you were speeding a bit. Lol. Even asked him if the lights were an issue. He said not at all. Anyways... Just wanted to share and was the only fitting place I could think of to post...

And bump too. Let's see some more shots!!

 

Finally got mine done. What a pain.

 

Kinda not sure if I wanna share this or not. But... I will. For those of us that are on a budget.. Because if you can afford the name brand ones (not mentioning any names) then go for it. They will without a doubt outperform these.

Hate all you want, but just know that one day, I'll eventually be replacing all my clones with the real deals
