Led Light Bar

Post by Famerbennie » Fri Jan 13, 2017 2:48 pm

Afternoon All Thinking Of Buying A Led Light Bar Off Ebay Just Wondered If Any Of You Have Any Experience On Ebay Light Bars Or Any Better Places To Buy One?

Looking At These Two But Other Than One Being Curved And Coming With A Wiring Kit Can't See The Difference?

Got a straight one on the Jimny, but a lot shorter than both you linked to. Gives a good pattern of light, like the curved one. Imo the curved one is cheating somewhere as everyone I've seen is designed as spot and flood

I have a 33" one on my sj and it is in my opinion a better size than the 42" with the 42" it just fits on the screen and therefor is quite venerable to damage, with the 33" it sits nicely on the screen without risk of damage

Me and Courior are both rocking 20" light bars on the front, easily enough light!

I've never really seen the need, some decent headlights for on road and you are sorted. Bumper mounted lights are never a bad thing either.

I've always wondered How much light do you really need at 5-10mph off-road :lol: If anyone says they can't see enough at those speeds with normal headlights then I'm not sure they should be driving :lol:

Tbh I've never been a fan of any roof mounted lights, most of the time they just reflect and glare off the bonnet and everything you would want to see like big holes get hidden in the shadows just as much as they do with lights on the front :lol:

On Billy's race truck there's two smaller bars mounted under the cage hoop. On the night stage at KOB they were brilliant for lighting stuff up in the distance but you really couldn't judge how big any holes that were coming up were, lights on the front would have been just as effective, if not more because there wouldn't be as much glare.
