If I was looking at just upgrading my stock Fogs as a set of DD upgrades I'd do either the Rigid Duallys or the 4 LED cubed kit, so a guy isn't blaring out others
Yea I would hope you don't run all that lighting on the street. I am looking at a set of A-pillars that I obviously will not be running all the time. Its pretty much a decision between the Rigid Dually spots or the Inspired 6LED spots. Like someone said earlier it is probably like comparing apples to apples. The Duallys are rated at 1560 lumens and the 6LED are 2120; not to much of a difference I wouldn't think to the naked eye. Not to mention the fact that prices I have been quoted are within $10 of each other. Might just have to flip a coin.

May I suggest you try the Combat Led W-series. The 2" 4 led light comes in either spot or flood and is putting out 2,200 effective lumens (measured outside the light housing).
They are also only $84.99 a piece and come with a great warranty. These are a quality light designed to out perform the best of the competition.

Are you looking for something to light up the ditches on the road as a daily driver or further out. My experience is the Dually spots if used longer distance a guy actually would want to run 4 of them. They are narrow beam and seem to blend into the headlight beams. My Dually D2's are considerably noticeable but then again that's twice the price range your looking at. I'd go with a I between and go with the 6 LED.

I know lots of companies put lumen output but sine people don't look at lumen output at 10 meters or distance of beam. Those are usually good to compare if your looking at close brightness and also long range.

I have the inspired 21.5 inch LED bar up front and I can tell you they are top notch quality. The thing will blind you and was a very easy install. Their customer service is excellent as well. I would not hesitate to buy from them again. I'd post a pic but again parse error.

I've got a few friends in the LED business. Basically, other than VisionX and Rigid, you're going to be buying one of just a small handful of lights. There are a few manufacturers and they all copy one another. If I were in the market, things I'd look for would be output, long term reviews (doubt there is much so early in the market), and the latest CREE bulbs.

An example.... not getting a deal as he sells them cheap, I picked up a 13" single row CREE bar for 100.00. Very bright, looks to be made well, and time will tell.

Your money, but I'd say most of the lights are the same.

Agreed there is also more manufactures using larger LEDs now and getting better output in the same size or even smaller housings. I can't remember the newer larger sized LED wattage that was displayed at SEMA thinking ?!?
