Dont laugh..... Light bars
I've made myself a pretty nifty roof rack for a 50" light bar... I dont trust amazon or eBay reviews I trust you guys lol
My recent experience... I did order a really highly rated 50" everyone loved it. I hook it up and the beam pattern is like a thin white line... Which in itself is pretty bright but no flood light.. I tinkered with it fashioned a decent makeshift harness with higher gauge than that provided, I could get no more juice out of this 60w million lumen Jesus bar...
If anyone who has a good curved 50" that they didnt spend more than $200 on post a link up here please ...I prefer it to be slim. Still open to the use of amazon bars just want something that actually performs!!
Thanks

On the roof you never want a flood light pattern anyways,On the roof or close to the drivers head you want spot beam pattern so it throws light far.A flood light you want more on the front bumper because it has less distance but more width so you can see in front of you.A flood light on your roof will mostly shine off your hood maybe blinding you and really do nothing for distance.

It was from a company called eyourlife. Its a 50 inch curved. I use it cuz it shines on the sides and I can see wildlife before they dart out across the road
