yeah but these also look like they're facing straight and facing towards the ground which you cannot do with a combo light

I'm not sure about that, that would be $1k+ for 10 cubes, and you can get a hell of a light bar for $1k

If generics put out the same as Rigid for 1/2 the price, why are people running Rigid and why are they still in business? Hahaha

They aren't quite as bright as Rigids, but do the job just fine. Some people will just pay for the name. My old Hella 500's 6" halogens cost $60 and put out the same light as the $200 KC's I also had. The name adds to the cost. My 6" bar fog light setup only cost me $120 which is less than one Rigid bar would have ran. I can replace these things like 6 times before I'd have been any money ahead with Rigid. And they're still extremely bright.

Exactly. If you combined the sales of all the small name brands, which all sell basically the same totron or "CREE" LED bar, they'd have outsold rigid 10 times over. Very rarely do you ever see a rigid bar on something here that's not owned by a doctor or somebody that doesn't care to just blow money lol
