LED Light Bars, where do we start!
Well... without going through all the pros and cons, i will just put a couple of things down and a few of our recommendations.
First of all, suppliers lie, i checked some Stedi images on their website and i seriously don't know how they get away fooling the public. They have the same images for totally different lights, and power ratings, anyway...the point is, it is hard to find out if what you see is actually what you get, once the buyer buys a product, unless they are really un-happy about what they have received then they generally won't complain. And don't let the Stedi brand fool you "Made In China Mate".
Getting onto more about which light-bars i think are really good, if i am to be honest, right now, i think there are only two worth buying out of the thousands of Chinese ones, and Yes we put our own brand on them too :), (we also have 20+yrs experience in the auto electrical industry, and know all the major companies in China).
The first one is the ones we call The Extreme Series. Beware of the fake ones, the real ones use 3w CREE, the fake ones use 1.5w china-brand and tell everyone they are CREE.
The other ones are our Pro Series LED Light Bars.
Forget about the super slim 5w, and all the rest, unless you have really tight restrictions in the height of the light bar you can use, they are a serious waste of money in terms of light output, the evenness of the beam patterns, and environmental protection. We have a large range here -> LED Light Bars, but putting them on my own vehicle, either the Extreme Series or the Pro Series are the best.
In terms of biggest bang for buck, the extreme will give you distance, width, and the all important depth, (the area directly in front of the car and projecting out as far as possible).
In terms of quality, the Pro Series come from a factory that has been there from the beginning, the optics, beam pattern, environmental protection, how long the last before the led's start to fade and lose light, heat-sink, components and circuit boards , everything in these lights are 100% quality, and the 10W CREE LED's are real, not fake.
So buyer beware! There's a ton of new kids on the block! But give us a call for no obligation free advice on 1300 775 359 in Australia or +61 2 9698 2543 Internationally.
