Recommendations on light bars

So as title really

What light bars are we all using and why?

I’ve got an expedition on the go and the time is soon upon me to tackle lighting

Needs to lighten up a good distance with good spread, good quality, durable etc
Front mounted on rack, bumper mounted with DRL and rear work lamp

I have used Lazer lamps in the passed and they work really well but do come at a premium, which is ok but if there are alternatives just as good or as best to I may give it a try

I bought this Gemtek 40" from Australia. think it was about £100 odd.

Its very bright indeed!

I am currently saving up for some Type X Pro's also from Australia from a company similar to Lazer
but a lot more reasonable called Stedi. They look amazing!

I bought some light bars from this company on eBay : https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=ht...3240305193

Cheap and cheerful but very bright with good range. The brackets have rusted a bit but the light unit itself is still fine and for the price, my plan was to replace with Rigid light bars but as these are still working I don’t see the point.

They are not “e” marked/approved so off road only.

^^^^ Those are the same ones I have, flood and spot. They are surprisingly good never had a problem at all. I’m quite happy to live with a paint touch up due to the cost.

The USA, OZ & NZ have good markets for these too, but the carriage and taxes are a killer on some items.
If they do need a bit of cosmetic tidying up they are easy to whip off if you use the correct connectors.
I used 50A Anderson connectors on mine for current capacity with waterproof boots.
The joint between the two boots use a run of quality electrical tape with a tear off tab and that seals them up superbly and should I want to remove them it’s just a case of taking the take off, unplugging and removing. There is even temporary use caps too to keep moisture and wet out whilst you sort anything out. I’ve had about 3+ years at least now of trouble free lighting with them and they’ve been exposed to all weather conditions. Equally I’ve had just as good service from my Nolden LED headlights too. ____\We|Will|Win/___
