Hi, 2015 Maverick Max XDS Turbo in search of a reasonably priced straight light bar. What say you?
In my opinion, there are really two ways to go:
1) Amazon stuff, like Auxbeam. It's cheap, does throw light, won't last forever.
2) Rigid. You're going to pay dearly, but it's going to be solid, and last (or be backed up) forever.
I've gone route #1 with my machines, since I can replace them like 10 times for the cost of Rigid. So far, I haven't had to replace any of them.
Also, be aware that all of the inexpensive lights, and a surprising number of more expensive lights overstate their wattage by anywhere from 3x to 10x. Yes, I've amped some of them out at 1/10th of the power they claim to make. But, even then, a "300W light bar" that actually throws 30W, and costs $35, isn't bad, just over-marketed.
