Hellas aint got **** on piaa. Amazon's prices will fluctuate because they sell them for different vendors..if one vendor that sells em foe 187 runs out of stock or quits dealing with amazon they will show the price of the next lowest vendor.

I know this cause i worked in logistics for one of Amazon's biggest warehouses

PIAA is overpriced. There are plenty of lamps that have great output that are half the price.

the rigid 20" E series bar puts off around 7000 lumens and is around 700 bucks or more. The ARB intensity lights put off 8200 lumens and are around 650. Rigid has a video out where they absolutely beat the **** out of their lights (ball bat, shotgun, dragging it behind a truck..etc) and a portion of the light still remains on. I cant vouch for ARB's strength in these conditions but id say that with the reputation that ARB has they are excellent lights and are going to be as good as the rigid lights. It does however depend on if you want a round light or an light bar.
