Well I am pretty sure any body who inadvertently smashes their lightbar into a phantom overhang/ tree branch from he11 would appreciate the fact that even though the light bar is damaged to hell on one side, they will still have what is left of their precious lightbar to light their way to the trailhead. I know I would, I'm not saying that your lights won't do the same, because rigid honestly has set the standard in that market; I'm just asking for a review section or side by side comparisons to prove to your potential customers what you are selling isn't a Chinese knock off ( as mentioned above unless I mis read the convo). Your prices ( being cheaper than rigid) are still quite expensive for lights. But if you can show that your claims are legit I will stand by my previous statement of paying for your sticker and promoting your product through word of mouth and I'm sure the OP would be excited over such a great deal, I would. I'm trying to play the devils advocate if it's not already apparent. Not trying to insult your products, just laying out what I would at least look for in that kind of situation.

Don't really need a light bar that can stand up to a belt sander, drill press, table saw, blow torch, shotgun or assault rifle, haven't run into any of those on the trails yet.

I'll just be happy if I flick the switch and it produces light.

What do the light outputs look like side by side?
Distance, intensity, etc.,

I agree cherokee95, I have no intentions of ever putting my rig through that much hell to need lights that tough, but I have friends that do, and I would much rather see them save the money and get the same product and be able to get other mods with the money saved, then everyone wins, a small business makes a few sales and some profits, and some guys get way more bang for their buck.

But Gearwhore, if you ever accidentally drive off a coastal cliff, burst into flames on the way down, explode on impact and sink to the bottom in 50 feet of salt water, your light bar will still work.

Life's all about choices. Read the Info on each bar and pick one.

Then tell us.

this argument is starting to get like the tire argument.

everyone will argue that way he/she has is better. 95% of the time, it doesnt matter what you run.

Um.... LOL Say what?? Expensive compared to what? Harbor freight lights? If that is your mindset you do should not be doing a comparison as your mind is already made up.

Can't go wrong with them, if I didn't have Hella Rallye 4000's I'd pick up a few bars from Tough Light...Super nice and an awesome warranty! Just never buy from GGLighting...

Default LED Light Bars

I sell a lot of led light bars to the whole desert/glamisdunes Prerunner race truck crowd... Haven't had one light come back yet.. Everything from a 2" to a 50" .. All my bars are backed with a 2 year warranty and are just as bright as any rigid ledbar for a 1/3 of the cost.. Not some Chinese junk ..not that's there's a problem with them.. Some of us are on budgets but I can only imagine trying to get something warranties if it fails and having to wait on shipping times overseas... That's the benefit of building them in house and not having a ton of money on advertising and marketing and a ton of employees.. Just me my bro in law and a buddy... All my sales are Mostly word of mouth and letting people know I see driving around... Referrals are the best kind of advertising... I stand behind my product 110% with a money back guarantee you will be more then happy... I'll get some pics of my bar on my neighbors jeeps etc for comparison etc..... Pm me if anyone is interested and what your looking for .. All sizes are available and can give you all the details you could possibly need on each bar....... Also have plug and play hid kits for all the jeeps and headlight conversion kits... Easy installs .. No cutting needed.... Thanks..

P.s I'm not some big shop that just wants your hard earned cash... I have a full time job but do these ledbars for some extra cash and with my resources and connections I have with the parts I can easily do it and make it worth it for me and to help out my fellow jeepers... .. Guess you can say I have to much time away from work lmfao... I would love to invest a ton of money and go full throttle into building quality ledbars and push the overpriced big companies out, but I'm not rich nor have the time or want the huge headache and it wouldn't be fun anymore... It would just be work!!! Hahah

Those side by side comparisons would be awesome. How much do your 50" usually run? And what kind of mounting do you suggest, windshield bracket or roof rack?
