    Link Light bar Wish: Not the one I got but similar looking and price. I think mine is 20"

    Link Square Spotties Wish: These are the wee square spotties.

    Both Wish and Ali Express are as good as each other IMO.
    A few things turn up not working but I have had success getting full refunds for stuff not working.
    so far so good.

    Unfortunately I dont have a photo or vid.
    Neighbours wouldnt much like me riding it out into the street/paddock and lighting up the hood.

    I was out before dark the other morning but the video didn't work. I set the gopro to picture mode or something.

    There are a few commetns about light bars punching into 500+metres.
    Thats great but do you really need that.
    I am certain mine has great visibility 100+metres.

    For the money its worth it to see if its for you and save hundreds initially..IMO.
    Once the wiring is done you can always go and spend sheetloads on a fancy one later...

    NExt time I get a chance I'll post another vid with longer POV. But you will prob already have gone down that road.
    Good luck.

    Also if they are too bright "on road" then road signs visability becomes very unpleasant, you get dazzled by their reflection. off-road then different story

    And they are mind busting during drizzle or rain, even in dusty conditions at night - it's the backscatter off the crap searing your eyeballs

    check out he K (kelvin rating) on the LED's , while the whole "blue light" thing looks brighter than hell after a few minutes its hard on the eyes.
    i have my house fitted out in 4000K, the garage in 6000K which is great for working on intricate stuff, but hell i wouldn't want to watch TV under it (ok streaming video as nz tv is bollox) anything in the 6k range on a vehicle light is great for intermittent use but on long period you had better invest in a migraine drug company

    Ok so I bought one of these for $140. Got a deal.
    I will get some beam shots an post them here once arrived.
    What made me choose these… manufacture brand and quality of manufacturing. It may not be the brightest but believe it will last…
    It is only 22 in long but slim - using reflection to spread the light.

    When taking the beam shots I will look at the difference between grill mount and roof rack mount.

    Thanks for all the advice so far
