The price should tell you everything.

For the price it's hard to pass it up. I bought my 42 for that very reason. It it lasts great, if not lesson learned.
It rated a IP67 which means its dust resistant & water submersible up to a meter. Mine is IP68.

We get hit with emails all the time from Chinese companies wanting to sell us a skid load of those for like $20 a piece. May last a while and work great. May burn your truck down when you hit the switch. Who knows?

I'm with Serious on this one. The price tells all.

All I know is there is a market for a affordable LED light bar. I can't afford $1K for one but I can swing $100 or so.
It's a gamble I'm willing to take. Pretty sure that it won't burn your rig to the ground unless you install it improperly. But in that case even a $1K light bar could do that.

OP, get the bar, cross your fingers it works, & enjoy it while you can.

It's a China bar.

At that price, it'll probably leak or experience electrical failure from the cheap soldering points on the inside that aren't built to handle the high drive of the LED diodes you'll put it through.

A more reputable company like LEDWarehouse will have good prices and warranties you can trust. I've been running their bar for about a year now.

If you want a ok light bar for a few months then buy it,If you want a great light bar that will last almost forever step up and buy a better one from some of our vendors on here.

That would be a no. It's not a good product. Ebay is a wild place, full of cheap junk and good stuff all mixed up. Some prices are high, some reasonable and some low. But the rules of retail still apply and you can't get something for nothing. So if you buy an 88 dollar light bar that's what you get. The guys making 800-1000 dollar bars aren't producing them for fifty bucks, they are higher quality units. Honestly most guys that put those bars up there are doing it for looks and never use them. You can only use them offroad at night. Anybody do a lot of night wheeling? Plus they can create a pretty bad glare on the hood. I mounted all mine up front so I don't get hood glare and I can see for long distances at night.

Also, side note, I don't want to upset anyone. I realize there are people who use the lights and I've used mine a bunch trail riding at night. I just see the big light bars mostly on Jeeps that never hit the dirt and I can think of soooooo many other things to drop a grand on that will make you rig run better offroad.
