I like them, but I think their price is way to high.

Pricing is similar to others in the LED lighting space. Not sure about their lumens claim, seems high compared to what other established players offer. Most of what they offer seems to be 6000k color temp which is bright white. Beware of blocking things that need to breathe.

There are a couple of threads on LED light bars and some especially clever installations.

Rigid Industries are well built and well thought of (although a tad pricey). I recently installed one for evaluation.

keep seeing this same truck in postings? is it for sale, or just using that same picture everywhere? those LED lights are brighter than the sun by the way, they are also illegal to use on the road... they are also very expensive, although this price was HALF of what I found at a shop that sells them.. was going to get them for my truck, but for that kind of money, if I can't use them on the road watching for deer and sorts, not wasting my money..

There was a thread on here recently from a guy who installed a single row of LEDs (unit) near the top of his grill. Looked awesome and I wanted one but then I saw the price.

Now I will side with the more expensive light bars. I have a rigid 20" light bar.

I could have gone with knock off chinese bars to so. But Rigid stands behind their products, they warranty them for a nice long time and their quality built.
I have a 6" rigid on two of my atv's and they have held up unbelievably to the punishment of that.

On the rear of my truck I have two Rigid flood lamps so I can light up the rear when hooking up a trailer and such. They have never fogged up or quit even when getting pelted with rain being mounted under the bumper. The only thing I did to help was have them linexd to help with rocks and rain.
If you're spending $50,000 on a truck and you haggle over a $150 or so on a U.S made product vs. some chinese knock off, then maybe you need to look bigger picture.

I've used them for years and for me it was an easy choice. When I need that light the last thing I want to have happen is it quit working or have the led's stop working.

I'll 2nd that. The leds posted here look like Rigid knock offs. I bought 2 sets of lights to see where I'm spreading salt and mounted them off tot h e side of the backrack. Work great.
