Rigid Radiance vs Lifetime 50"
I'm looking into a 50" that wont break the bank, but wont...break, either. rigid recently released their new Radiance line which seems to be a great pricepoint (475 + 70 for wiring) and it has a separate mode for back-lighting. The other option would be the Lifetime's 50" (399 w/wiring)
As far as use goes, I'll be doing quite a bit of back country camping as well as some night runs here and there.

You'll find reasons to go either way but I've had issues with both Rigid and my BBL lights. Black Box acknowledged the issue and asked me to return the lights with a partial credit towards another product. Rigid sent over RMA info and provided tracking. They sent out new lights in 3 days without any questions or hesitation.
BBL is no longer in business and I've had to discard the (now) non-functional bar. Rigid is still in business and expanding. Who would you like to stand behind your warranty?

What are you looking for a 50" bar for? The Jeep JK's usually take a 52" bar.
With that said, if you go with Rigid we can knock off 10% since you are a forum member here. Use coupon code JKFORUM
Rigid Radiance 50" Back-Light LED Light Bar - 4x4TruckLEDs.com
Also, we sell the AuxBeam brand, which is an economy line brand, however we sell their 5D lights, which have pressure release valves. So they don't seem to have the issue all the cheaper brands have
50": AuxBeam 50" 288W CREE Straight LED Light Bar 5D Projector Lens (Spot & Flood, Dual Row) - 4x4TruckLEDs.com
52": AuxBeam 52" 288W CREE Straight LED Light Bar 5D Projector Lens (Spot & Flood, Dual Row) - 4x4TruckLEDs.com
As I said, the JK's would use a 52" Bar, and here are some mounts for your JK:

The YJ's and TJ's use a 50" bar though.

I highly recommend Inspired Engineering. Sami is a great guy who is active on here and the warranty is outstanding. Their products are top notch and I'm saying this from personal experience.
