Thread: LED Light Bars

I have a 20" Rigid Industries combo unit. It has an excellent spread of light that is fantastic when off road at night (which is what I wanted). I'm happy with it on the highway too. I thought about getting a larger unit, but decided against it as I didn't want temporary blindness when dipping it for on-coming traffic. Another consideration was that if I went up to a 40" or 50" bar then I'd have to mount it on the roof which would increase drag and wouldn't be good in the rain as it would limit visibility by lighting up all the rain over the bonnet. The 20" bar also happened to be a good width to fit across the top of my bull bar.

Due to it's low profile the light is below the line of the bonnet and therefore does not obstruct my field of view. Overall the 20" bar was the right compromise for me. Except for one thing - after installing the light I was dismayed when my daughter took one look at the car and said "I just love the diamantes that you put on the Defender - they're so cute!"

A mate has the Baja Designs 40 inch stealth bar on his roof. Works really well. Does not beat HID for range, but craps all over them for everything else.
