Post Pictures of Light Bars!!!!

Looking for pictures of you guys that have mounted light bars in the grills of our trucks or on your bumpers. Let me know what you paid for it too. I'd like to get a good reliable one off of EBAY or something that way I don't have to buy an expensive Rigid or VisionX.

Check our sticky. Should be a few light bars in there.

Also most eBay light bars are junk. If you do a quick search you'll find there are a few light bars out there with rigid quality, but cheaper price tag.

What I have a problem with is a lot of these eBay light bars have false advertising. Some are claiming 300W Crees with 30,000 lumens, all for $200.

30,000 lumens is A LOT of light. I mean A FRIGGIN LOT. The fire truck I used to run had a 40,000 lumen worklight that weighed about 100 pounds, had a heatsink the size of a car tire, and lit up the area of maybe 2,000 sq.feet, and THOSE have Cree LEDs and cost about $4,000 each.

These light bars on eBay only draw about .70w, not 3.0W as claimed. And they most definitely are not Crees. 30,000 lumens? Yeah right. MAYBE 3,000 lumens if you're lucky.

What size light bar can we fit in the bottom of our grills? I measured it and came up with something around 20-22 inches. I could of swore someone had added a light bar that was bigger than that. I checked the sticky above too, there weren't many in there. Thats why I asked for pics. Lol.

I've been looking at light bars and a buddy of mine living in Texas knows these guys personally and has tons of his lights. Very same lights as the big boys use but at a much more cost effective price.

Have you ever heard of these guys Raptor? Might be worth a look for you, I know you are picky with your lights haha

I like to see proof of what these companies are claiming. A 10W Cree puts out A LOT of heat and these lightbars are much too small to disperse this heat. If someone wants to send me a lightbar to test out, I would be glad

I think i'm gonna try out a light bar from Olympus Off Road. Their prices are awesome and they have a really nice warranty. They seem legit and seem like they have one heck of a product.
