Spod, worth it?
Im getting lights this week and have been looking at the spod. I'm running 2 led fog lights, 2 led spot lights on the sides of my xrc armor, & 4 cheap off rd lights up top on my light rack. Will it control all of those and is it worth the money?!
Thanks!
Thanks!

It appears to be a very well constructed, quality, American made product. It's worth what you get, but for me, it's too much for the purpose I would use it for. For what I need, I can probably do something for a lot less.

Before you buy, there was a bad ass solid state switch panel that was released at SEMA.
I don't recall it's name but it was 8 solid state switches, no need for relays except for really high draw stuff like winches, supported twice the amperage of the Spod and way simpler package.
EDIT:
So it's called Switch-Pro if you google it there is a nice write up on WOL. It won SEMAs best new Interior product for 2015, pretty big deal at SEMA.

$490ish. 7 switches at 17amp, position 8 is 26amp. Water proof, requires less space. Not yet released. Should be able to get the first batch from Northridge sometime in February, maybe January.

Depends if you can build one yourself or not. It looks like a decent product and haven't heard many folks having issues with them. Its just a lot more then I would want to spend on something like that and I made my own.

I built my own... and I will say that if it does everything you want it is well worth the money. My the time you buy all the hardware and build in all the features you will likely have as much or more in it.
This said and as previously mentioned, there are other options out there that should be considered as well.
