Went to the website but I don't see how to place an order. Can you share how you made the purchase?

Thanks...

Here is what I ended up going with. It was $237 including shipping and paypal fees.

It is supposed to be 50" but is closer to 48". It ended up fitting really nice I think. I drilled two holes and ran the wires through one of the stock bracket holes.

210 watts
42 cree LED's spot/flood combo

I E-mailed to order but that one on Ebay looks nice as well.

Lighting has always been an interest of mine, but I'm not smart enough yet.

Can anyone compare the light from an LED bar with a halogen driving light? I run 100w hella 4000s on my rover, but am seriously considering an LED bar for the pinz.

How do the bars do on range? Light quality?

And can anyone explain why a 50" bar can be bought for $500 or $3000? Is there a real difference worth the extra cost?

[compunerdy]

The bar I used is very bright.. not sure how it would compare to other light sources.

These bars are all made using LED's and generally all use the same brand such as Luxeon, Seoul, and Cree which are all foreign made. There may be a little quality difference with some suppliers using higher end optics,etc but definitely not a $1000+ difference.

How does your bar do regarding the throw distance of the light? I understand its not really a driving light, but how is it on the road?

[transalpian]

And while we're on the subject, what are the pros and cons to the different chip sizes; 3,5, or 10w each?

I see you went with 5w chips. Are you happy with those?

[compunerdy]

I will try and take some pics soon. It lights up the road for quite a ways but that also depends on how you have it tilted..

Usually higher wattage would equal more lumens but that is generally only when comparing the newest LED's from one manufacturer.. I would just look at the lumen output.
