This is my LED light bar I got. I got it at SEMA this year. You can buy things on the last day. I got it for around $100. I go every year and I try to always get something. Just because things are cheaper there.

All of these light bars look good, but what I question is the quality.

I am a Rigid loyalist, so yes I do spend more to get lights with that name on them. With these no name light bars has anyone had issues with condensation? How is the construction of the housing? Has anyone done a direct comparison of a Rigid 20'' to a no name 20''?

I'm not against ordering a no name 20'' for my truck, but that $150 price tag doesn't seem as cheap when you've gone through three or four in a year. I seriously doubt they have the life span of a Rigid.

I'm 4 months in on my no name with no complaints. It's been an odd winter here in ND with extreme lows of -50 to highs in January of 40 melting all the snow driving through slush and roads filled with water run-off. So far so good, hopefully won't end up with condensation. I would be interested if anyone has had them on for a full year and how the light bar has held up

Ditto. Knowing how these hold up over the course of one year and longer would be really good to know.

I've been running one on my Polaris ranger for over 3 years in the humid Louisiana heat and no problems with condensation. The construction of them is solid.

I purchased a cheap no-name brand off ebay for $135 shipped to my house. I looked at rigid 20" light bar and it was like $800. I figure if they last 2-3 years and replace it I can replace that cheap light several times for $800...

I'm having issues for the second time now with my light not coming on. First time was a lose connection at my relay but that's not the case this go around. Anyone have any ideas? I know I'm getting good power and my grounds are directly to the frame not the battery.

If your getting a good 12V right at the light and it's not working then it's something wrong with the light.
