Rigid Light Bar Question
Looking to install a 30in light bar to my grill guard (westin hdx). Trying to decide between curved and straight.
I see they have an e2 series out but their website doesnt directly state what is an e2. Just e series and e series pro.
I'm wondering what the difference is between spot/flood and spot/driving combo.
how much difference from e series pro to the rds pro? This light will be to help drive at night on pitch black roads to help see deer in ditches. Eventually I will put a roof bar on but that's after some other purchases.

Curved vs straight....never used a curved but would assume throws wider.
E2: not even sure if they still make that line new, it was their 'premium product' before the 'pro' came out. I believe it may have been higher wattage chips and a different beam pattern (Hyperspot 5*/driving 45* or something). Look pretty sweet but $$$$$
Spot/flood vs spot/driving: I believe that would be 10*/25* vs 10*/45* The 'driving' is supposed to be really wide.
I personally run a SR-20" spot/flood combo and really like that beam pattern. Might be a little lacking in the 'pure distance' (but that could just be me) but I think either bumping up to a 30" or something with a hyperspot would solve that, but it is a really good mix.
