Default LED light bar's

thinking about investing in an led light bar somewhere between 10-20 inch's. so my question is are the rigid industries really worth the crazy price tag? I mean an LED is an LED so why are the rigid so overly expensive? anybody have any cheaper/different branded lights? what do you have and what are your thoughts on them?

Personally I'd wait a year or so. LED's are just now becoming more common in the industry and will end up dropping in price as more companies enter the fray.

$500-700 for an LED bar is ridiculous.

well I found out its like a no name brand that I cant seem to find a review on so I might grab one of those Olympus bars instead there decently priced and the pic above of the 20 inch one looks pretty bright. hes selling because its to small for where we wants it or something like that

How about those LED light bars on ebay? Does anyone have experience with it? The price is really cheap but not sure with the quality.

When inferior lights fail when you need lots of light you'll be kicking yourself in the *** when you need them.


Where i wheel there are shelf roads at the edge of cliffs There is zero lighting with in 10 miles and the cliff is about 200-300ft to the bottom.And the road is 2way so having crazy bright lights allows other to see me coming. And we're the hell I am at.

Mine is from EBay. Owned since May 2013. No issues.

I feel LED is bright to look at. But, it doesn't throw the light into the dark as much as HID.
