LED lightbars?
Seen this on ebay!

Buying direct from hong kong is even cheaper but this is UK stock.

I have heard back from the UK seller

He will do 40" lightbars for three ninety pounds cash on collection.

got to be worth a punt for that price considering!

He has invited me to view his 40" light bar fitted to his defender. but alas he lives too far away in Buntingford hertforshire and im in wales!

im sorely tempted as this worth looking f'ing awesome on my 110 DC with its LR expedition roof rack Very Happy 2011 Santorini Black USW XS.

leds from usa are better etc etc

download the technical drawings from their site and you'll see the chinese stamps on them Rolling Eyes



We have a fibreoptics company in our group, they sourced the visionx led lights for me. it was one of their suppliers in china but contract bound to go over european (belgian) and US dealer.Of course if you would like to buy a container at once they could rebrand and sell directly.

all this marketing "made in .... " BS makes me Evil or Very Mad



rant over

just had confirmation RI: "All of our light bars are designed, engineered and assembled in Mesa, AZ. "
