Default Light weight rear bumper with integrated lights

Surprisingly, I wasn't able to find much on the noted topic via search, so i'm asking here. What i'm looking for is the lightest possible rear bumper with integrated back up lights. Stubby is just fine. I've been looking at the Or-fab standard bumper with the horizontal LED lights included. I can't seem to find a weight anywhere, to include Googling it. It's a nice price point considering it comes with the lights.

I was also looking at the JRC mauler. Also, can't find a weight on it despite trying google.

I'm totally open to suggestion and thoughts.

Try crawler conceptz, poison spyder, evo, or any brand and just cut your own holes for lights or use the small rigid flush mounts. Aluminum would be the best way to go to save on weight but you'll pay more. All brands I mentioned I believe have aluminum rear bumpers.

hoping to avoid the whole cutting thing. I'd like a turn key solution. Mount the lights (light ready), bolt up the bumper, run the wires to the sPOD, and roll on.

Also look at ACE Engineering. Their pro series has an aluminum rear with integrated lighting too.

Genright is aluminum, so that would be super light. Next would probably be LoD as they use high strength steel for lighter weight. My whole bumper and tire carrier weighs 110lbs. Most are 150-200. I have no trouble lifting the bumper with the carrier off. I'd guess maybe 60lbs?
