LED Light Bars - Tips for Buying

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.

LED Driving Lights

There is quite a bit to get to know when buying LED Driving Lights.
First of all, if yo want to have a look at our range, have a look on the website here -> LED Driving Lights.

I will go aver a few aspects to look for when buying led driving lights below.
First of all, buy from someone who is been in the business for a good length of time, (We have been in the auto electrical supply business for 20+ years), this can save you a lot of headaches in terms of warranties, products that fail after 6 months, and a lot of other issues that can come up.

Ok, let's get into some nitty gritty.

First of, check how much room you have, check the total height including the bracket, and the thickness of the light to see how much room you have between the grill of the vehicle and the back of the light.

Second of all, make sure the lights have EMC, (Electro Magnetic Compatibility), this can be crucial if your out the back of whoop whoop and you are getting radio noise and interference.

And the last thing, again... use a reputable seller, just because someone tells you they are selling CREE LED Driving Lights does not mean they are really CREE LED's.
Some good high powered LED's are CREE, Philips, Bridgelux, and another American company called Luminus.
We use the Luminus LED's in our 7" 135W LED Driving Lights and our There is quite a bit to get to know when buying LED Driving Lights.

We use the Luminus LED's in our 7" 135W LED Driving Lights and our 9" 180W LED Driving Lights. The Luminus LED's are a 15W LED. These lights  are specially designed for distance, but they also have a combination driving light cover that comes with the lights for free.

In regards to "what is the brightest led driving lights on the market?", don't be fooled by the stuff you read on EBay about 700w led driving lights etc... it is garbage.
Righ now, as of October 2017, the brightest you can get are the 370w 5D Hyrbid LED Driving Lights. If there was anything brighter, then we would have them.
