Cheap light bars
Have any of you guys had any look with the cheap light bars on eBay they seem way too good to be true. But 179 is a lot easier for me personally to spend on a light the 900-1200. Any thoughts?

Never understood the need for paying the high prices for light bars.
52" lightbar 300w - $95 Amazon.com: ECCPP 52" 300W Off Road LED Work Light Bar Auxiliary Driving Lamp Flood Spot Combo Beam For 4x4-Jeep/Cabin/UTE/SUV/ATV/Truck/Car/Boat/Fishing excavator/engineering vehicle/mining vehicle/beach car/fire truck/rescue vehicles/police car/Gar
21" single row 100w - $82 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...rch_detailpage
4" A pillar spots 30w - $39 Amazon.com: Autofeel 4 Inch 30W OSRAM LED Work Light Bar Spot 4X4 ATV 4WD SUV: Automotive
7" LED Headlights 75w - $160 Amazon.com: Brightsky 2pcs 7 Inch 75w White LED Round Headlight Offroad Car Lamp Black with Phillips LED Chip: Automotive
And a set of Rigid Dually's
- (First light I ever got and I can't believe I paid $165 for them) Never had an issue with the cheap light bars and if I did I would just buy another one... since they are so cheap

You do pay for quality, but whether that quality proves to be a *value* to you is a decision only you could make.
When I bought Rigid lighting I expected to have and use it for many years to come and it looks like I'll be able to.

Yep, x2 on the low cost Amazon bar. I picked up a 50" about a year ago. Like others have said, it's bright as hell. The only mod I had to make is sealing for moisture. I just need it for an occasional night ride and I just think it looks bad-ass! I highly recommend it if you just need it for occasional use.
If I had the cash I'd go for the higher end units, but my mod list is real long and other stuff takes priority.

Don't get me wrong if I could spend the money for the rigid I've always paid for the quality but in just this instance not just with rigid but serveral companies it's feels like I'm paying for the name when the rigid is no brighter than the off brand and if some unforeseen tragedy befalls my light bar I could easily pay just to have a backup in the garage ready to put on my rig at a moments notice

For sure. Nothing wrong with finding the right item for you and your value.
To be fair, as much as I use mine (not much), I don't doubt a much cheaper version would likely serve me as well.
