We need a 3rd party to grab a 40" and a 50" from a few manufacturers and just setup a test. One based on specs, price, distance light is thrown both f-b and side to side, and construction. That way everyone can get an idea of true quality and light output for whatever budget they have.
Olympus Would be more than happy to throw in. We know our lights will stand up to the competition.
Frank..... Frank.....Frank....
Our 50" is normally $525... we ran a black Friday sale For 425 shipped...and I have over 50 people that would disagree with you. Ill put our 50" up against Rigid any day of the week.
To the OP... don't double your budget.... that would be a waste of quality money. Even if you don't go through us there are options that will meet your expectations.... though a lifetime warranty and a quality price... That's hard to beat...
Allow me to be brutally honest.....
At $450 you're not going to get a quality lightbar that will meet your expectations. I truly believe you're going to need to double your budget or start out with smaller lights.
I'm not going to point you to any products, I don't want you to think I'm here just to get into your wallet.

You can find the exact same lights on this site that olympus sells. Just wholesale.
http://www.dhgate.com/wholesale/ligh...#hp1305-lc-8-7 It takes some looking, but most everything you could want is there.

that is the main drawback, but honestly, when something costs a third of the price for the same thing, it's worth a shot to me.

this was probably the most extreme example I could find quickly. Most of the lights on dhgate are closer in price to olympus' lights.
edit:looks like the chinese website's price is for a single light. still cheaper though.

There are a lot of sites like that. There are a lot of companies that simply buy from places like that and resell. Olympus is not one of them. We have our own facilities and take care of stuff ourselves. While we do use some parts that are already industry made parts there are some major differences in components and circuitry. We stand behind our products 100% and will put them against anybody. Those lights you mentioned are not something we really do a lot with as we have better options. Honestly I thought we took those off the site lol.
How on earth can a company truly offer a Solid Warranty on something they have no hand or vested interest in making. There are a number of companies that make claims of "limited lifetime warranties" but if you so much as cut the QA sticker off, they wont honor it.

@Dsach
At the price you offer your lights at, do they stand up to this kind of torture? If so, do you have any testimonials to back your product? What kind of warranty do you offer?
If your products truly compete with Rigid ind. I will make your website my first stop when I buy my XJ and pay for an oversized company logo to give you free advertising on my rig if you can save me that kind of money on quality lighting!

I know there is, and to go back to the roots of this conversation; the budget should fit the quality of the goods expected. If the OP wants rigid quality, he needs to look into why Rigid and competing quality companies charge what they do. No questions asked, 100% replacement guarantee. I can't even afford rigid 50" light bars and I get why they cost so much.
Cool $h!t ain't cheap, and cheap $h!t ain't cool.

Well yeah... they are the benchmark that people know.... Nothing wrong with that... AND FYI... Those lights are not standing up to that kinda of abuse... That is just a video of them being creatively destroyed. Our lights can withstands that destruction the same as Rigid. Those lights stop working and break lol. That video is just for marketing and it obviously worked.
