Okay everyone, i'm looking to get a 20 inch light bar right now for my truck. Or even a 50 inch for above my windshield. i'm fairly knew to this lightbar world and i really want one that will last and is EXTREMELY bright. But at the same time not breaking the bank. I'm willing to spend around 200. But will i get my moneys worth for 200$? Let me know please and thanks!

 

Extremely bright and lasting do not mix with a 200 dollar budget. Not worth it IMO

 

I bought the Genessi light bar off amazon for around $150. Is it the brightest, no does it do a decent job, yes. Only time will tell if it lasts but I figure if I get 2 years out of it then it was worth the money. I don't need to use the light enough to spend $500 plus on a light bar.

 

I got mind from ledglow.com it brighter than a lot of others on the market. I got a 50 taillight bar and my buddy got different makes mind is way brighter than theres check out there website got the 50 inch shipped to my door here in Ontario for 55 bucks

 

Watch out for the whistle with the roof mounted bars.

 

Bud, buy once and cry later.. But make sure you do your homework on what ever led bar you go with. For me, I chose Baja Designs. I got their 30" Arc bar. It puts out 20k Lumens and it has plenty of throw!
A friend of mine has a 30" Chinese bar (unk manufacturer) that he paid $300 for. There is NO comparison between the two.

 

I wanted to install a 20" but there wasn't enough clearance, so I opted for a 13.5" here are the specs on it for $149.00 cdn
