Everyone should check out my buddy's new company,, CombatLED.com He is making a great product at a lower price than most of the high end competition. He is using high end LED's, and has some innovative designs. He is getting more lumens per LED due to sending them a little more power, and he is offering a great warrantee.

Looks like they are priced right up there with Rigid, so they better be AWESOME!

Seems like everyone has an LED 'company' these days. Does he have a manufacturing facility or is he just importing like everyone else? Does he test these lights for lumen ratings like rigid?

I wonder about "getting more lumens per LED due to sending them a little more power".
The circuits get warn and need cooling. More watts mean higher circuit temp'.
I'm not sure about many hours in desert temperatures, which can reach 46+ Celsius, and much more than that under the non-vented black metal casing.

I'm not trying to be a negative Nancy, but 99% of everyone "building/making" these bars are importing them from china and putting their sticker in them. I own a pair of rigid duallys and a 12", a 20" and a 6" from plashlights.com, (China stuff) and the rigid product is 100 times better built, brighter and looks nicer. But I love my china lights, they were dirt cheap and the 20 & 12 on my bumper light up the trail VERY well!!

Yeah, all from China, which is alright. I have a 20" from China. I'll be getting the original rigid duallys for the windshield as they are a affordable at about $155 shipped. If I'm paying good money like some of these companies are trying to charge I'm going rigid, or super cheap from China. There's really no in the middle for me lol

Yeah i just received my dualys from rigid, i also have on the way a 50" light bar and an other set of dualy from china, i actualy paid 2.5$ for my china dualy spots. Hoping to compare the lighting to see if its worth the 300$ difference.

This is my set-up: Rigid Duallys. The top lights are spot and the bottom are floods. I love the look of the "DEEGAN 38's".
