    Anyone have any experience with this companies product? Have a vendor that can get me a good price on them and he says they are on par with rigid, but I can't find much on them as they must be a new company. Looking for a 40in bar for a prinsu rack I intend on buying.

    Never heard of them. Looking at their pods they are pretty high power and claim above average output, but Baja Designs Squadron Pro are just as high power with more output spec’d.

    The Mocha lights are all really high in color temp at 6500k which is poor for night vision and inclement weather visibility. It is cheaper to have LEDs in higher color temps than better lower temp ones. Baja Designs has a best in class 5000k color temp and I believe Rigid is 5500k.

    Looking at warranties both Baja Designs and Rigid are warrantied for life. And I believe both are made in the USA. Mocha appears made in the USA but does not list any warrany or guarantee.

    Mocha promotes USAF and Boeing tested against EMP (ElectoMagnetic Pulse). I’m betting they actually tested against EMI, ElectroMagnetic Interference, as some electronics products can produce interference with others.

    I believe that's because they do most of their work for the airforce. I can get a 40in mocha bar for a little over $500. The other brands I was looking at was aurora and black oak in their single row led flavor. Need something for a prinsu rack. This will be my first light bar as I've run old school of daylighters on my truck.
