Thread: Good deals on Ali Express.

Can someone send a link to a good light bar, I want one for jetboat

I have bought lightweight cookers, gas canister fillers, tarps, hammocks, tent pegs, Naturehike tents, Tourbon slings ammo holders and scope covers, lightweight crampons, head torches, fishing tackle, waterproof bags. Maxtoch torches and batteries. Had a few no shows but have always got refunds, always try to buy from their 'stores' that have good feedback.
I compare several items tat appear the same before deciding on a purchase as quality can vary. Delivery times can vary hugely but if I need anything in a hurry I buy locally.
I have just bought a Vector Optics scope for $120 for my boys rifle, sells on trade me for $320

I brought the 34 inch, curved one from here -
22" 42" 50 Inch Tri-Row Curved LED Light Bar Offroad Work Lights Combo Beam SUV ATV 4x4 4WD UTV RZV Trailer Driving Barra Lamp
22" 42" 50 Inch Tri Row Curved LED Light Bar Offroad Work Lights Combo Beam SUV ATV 4x4 4WD UTV RZV Trailer Driving Barra Lamp-in Light Bar/Work Light from Automobiles & Motorcycles on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

Was on special at the time and got it for $115 delivered. Was Jan this year, and now on the boat.
Well made unit. The wiring harness was OK, but Shit switch in it (didn't use the harness, but would be OK in a car) came with all the bits and quick from memory. @PerazziSC3

I get that it probably references back to headlights and not having one out but a light bar..Thats just stupid. @timattalon isn't that ridiculous. Before you had them hooked up to the main beams so they would turn of when you dip your lights? Now I suppose you can have them turned on anytime you like. That's stupidity as well.

Yep I got questioned about mine by the WOF guy, said I needed an on/off switch and couldn't be hooked to my hi beam. I explained I had a push Button on/ off and could turn it off from the hi beam, he said I need another toggle type switch as well? Go figure that logic. They are better operating on the hi beam, with the isolation button in my opinion

Yep I've got HID spots hooked up to hi beam and the light bar on a separate switch so its a work light and warrantable that way so not for highway driving, for off road use.

Yup. They are hooked up to the main beam and I can keep them if I switch them separately to the headlights. I suggested a floor dip switch and using them as my high beam and he said "only if the switch works without affectingt he headlights so it cannot operate the actual High beam. So I can leave my lights on dip, drive around and use the bar as my high beam and choose to whether I use the high beam or not.....

For the Motorbike I had two 3" round spots with 55 watt lamps in them fitted to the high beam. Nope. Not allowed. Only allowed one FITTED. Everything fitted has to work. SO I could not make one a dummy so it looked OK . (One either side of the main headlight) I would be happy with one only allowed to work at a time. Nope. Not allowed. 130w single truck spotlight 7" wide and lights up like daylight? Yup, thats fine. Looks stupid as F_cK but allowed. Only problem now is if I have that on AND the heated handle bars, I dont get enough power to run both and it runs the battery flat.....so I can have warm hands or see where I am going. I would like another bike but this one is n the wedding photos so I will never be able to sell it. Only had it 27 years next month....

At present on the roof, and to far forward (getting to much bounce back of light from hand rails and can’t see forward of it - need to move back as a second go, and see what happens, but gut feeling is i will need to go ugly and mount it on the forward rails above the anchor , or biff the idea and use a hand held through the roof hatch)


Don’t have a pic on this device, but will post a pic tomorrow of the mount. I went for a temp clamp arrangement until I was happy, and pleased I did....

It's still in the post.
The one I have ordered is a copy of the Hubba Hubba, On special at $175 I figured it was worth a try.

Most of the stuff I have bought has been pretty good, hole saws, lathe tools, live centre, keyless chuck, ER16 chuck and collets, bike lights, all the bits to make a digital night vision scope. The things that have been crap I have got refunds on usually.

These are the type of hole saw I got, they are really good as long as the material isnt too thick, the arbors are a bit crap but you can cut off the triangle bit and use them in a 1/2" chuck or on an M10 bolt with a pilot
