P1000 Light bar recommendations

[samson7x]

I'm looking to add a 50" light bar but don't want to pay Rigid prices. Anyone have success with less expensive brands? Ebay specials?

Thanks.

I have ran Chinese bars on my sxs for years. Not the same quality. But work fine.

I bought rigidhorse off Amazon and it's been great. Comes with a one year warranty and the price is right.

It's a 52 inch flood spot combo I paid around 160 bucks.

SuperbriteLeds is very reasonable. $149 for a 50” straight dual row bar

Just swapped out a Ali-express bar for this one off amazon. Same thing. I just wanted a cleaner look so I grabbed this 52” curved.

THe Chinese bars are nothing like the more expensive brands. The biggest difference I can tell is in a Long wide open area. In the woods they are all bright. Get in a big field and turn on a rigid, vision-x, etc. next a Chinese one. Not even close to the same. With that said I bought a stingray for this sxs and it’s pretty good. Better than Chinese but not rigid. But when I’m riding fields at night I can spot deer hundreds of yards away.

Right there with you if I was putting a lightbar on something where I needed to see hundreds of yards ahead of me like a truck or desert machine. I’d be buying Rigid or KC or one of the better brands because their reflectors and LEDs are no comparison to the SE Asia knockoffs.

For woods riding though a $40 40” light bar is fine for me. Cheap to replace if I break it.

I hear ya. I just wanted to make sure OP understood there is a difference you get for all that money. It depends on what you are using it for. People that say their $40 Light is as good as a $700+ Light are sadly mistaken.

Thanks for the insight. The cheap ones will likely do just fine for me. In large fields, we cut the lights off and run thermal night vision anyway so that's not a big deal.

At this point I'm leaning toward the mictuning bar. I've seen it mentioned several places and it gets good reviews.

I bought a Rigid 20inch 7,500 lumens cost of WAY TO MUCH. Cannot say anything bad about it. My last 3 Lightbar have been on the cheap side, 1-30,000 lumens 2-7000lumens. Cannot say anything bad about them. I cannot tell the difference. I'm sure there is some but I cannot tell the difference. I will say this, buy as much Lumens as you can, when I turn on 30,000 lumens it is like night and day.

Thanks, I ended up ordering the mictuning 50" for $79 so we will see how it does.

I've got one of these: 30" Curved LED Light Bar | CREE Off-Road Lights
40" curved and equipped with Cree leds. Lights up the world but I live in Arizona not Kansas so my world is closer than the horizon.

Where did you get the brackets for your light bar? Do they just go in where the bolts are on your roll cage?

I am changing my opinion...Amazon crap all has noise in it or makes noise when its on. Reflectors are crap and the LEDs don't draw 5w each they draw about 1/2Watt each. For a quality solid light bar I am going with Rough Country/KC as the standard I will accept as a quality light bar. The Rough Country has been SPECTACULAR vs my amazon specials, in light and beam quality.

Rigid may be better but seeing as I just made a 400-500% cost increase over a amazon special to RC or KC I can't make a 400-500% increase over those to Rigid unless maybe if I was desert racing where I needed to see half a mile ahead I could but not for East of the Mississippi.
