Default Trail worthy fab/ tuff light led lightbars

Just wondering what your thoughts are on these, I want a led light bar to go with my rigid duallys but all the rigid industries light bars are way to expensive for me. These seem like a great alternative for half the cost but what worry's me is if they are as durable and reliable as the rigid lights.

sorry I didn't mean tuff lights, they are actually called tough lights.

I got a 32" Tough light been working good , just got it in April so not so long ago

The biggest problem I have is when it comes to the knock off is the degree of the beam , they call a 30 deg a spot that's not a good spot beam

Does it work and give off plenty of light yes , if I had to buy another I would buy it again

I've got a 20" from a friend but it already faded in color and I sent an email to them hoping they might help but no response. But as far as the light itself, it's awesome.

From what I read the rigids do the same thing , the sun is a fierce power

Yeah but is there anyway to fix it without getting another one?

To be honest I don't know , I don't see why spray can paint wouldn't work you just have to get something like the dupicolor paint match cans over anything else because it is made for car body parts

That back of the light is just a heat sink so as long as you can keep the coats thin it should work

If was me and you could see it I would give it try

The Rigids fade too, and mine actually both have moisture seeping in. Rigid will warranty them though, or rebuild them in a diffrent pattern for $150... might be doing the knock off too.
