    I am looking to buy a led light bar what is a lower priced well built led light bar. Obviously there is rigid light bars but they are so expensive. I recall reading on here somewhere about some other brand that people were having good luck with but cannot recall the brand.

    I know rigid is good what are some decent middle of the road led light bars though I am looking to get it actually for my father's rzr so it doesn't need to be top notch but I don't want to get it and it be a pile of crap. I don't want to shell out for a rigid for his utv though.

    Sold a few different LED brands in the past couple years. Where I used to work, we had some bad luck with Paramount for a bit. We brought on Engo in their place and had great results.

    Sneveys Off Road.com

    Highlander Pro Series Dual Row 20" LED Light Bar HPSDR20C - $199 each

    They have been great so far. No problems.

    I have the trail worthy fab 20" lightbar and it's been fantastic. It has survived thousands of miles of washboard roads, two track, and whoop sections without complaint. I can't outdrive the light output in the dirt, although I would like a roof mounted light to reduce shadowing.

    Check out herticstudios. Prices are half of what Rigid's are and quality is supposed to be top notch. Cant wait for my 40" to arrive from them

    I have had great luck with the 2 Hyperion Eos light bars that I have. One is a 42" and the other is a 20". They throw out a lot of light and I too have used them for quite a few miles now and they've been good to me. Got them on Amazon for a great price.

    Nearly all LED light bars are made in the same couple factories in China. Aside from the Rigid bars, if you buy any other light bar you are only paying for someone's marketing budget and for them to engrave their logo on the same light bar that everyone sells. Just make sure it has Cree LEDs and not Epistar and you're good to go.

    I have a 30" Rigid Combo, and six months later, I've forgotten (almost) how expensive it was, but every time I use it, I remind myself that it was worth it.

    Only thing I'd change is that it gives just a bit too much foreground lighting, but that's it.
