RIGID INDUSTRIES LED light bar

[bushy555]

Update: Got another email from sales lady last night. In it they also have a 72 watt bar (24x 3w) for US$120.00 and a giant 240 watt sucker (80x 3w LEDs) for US$360.00
I have no idea as to why she didn't bother include it in the first original email.

Can confirm that the 72w / 24 LED bar body is 339.5mm in length.
Based on that info, to compare with BajaDesign, Narva and Rigid bars:

36w = 170mm (6.5") in length.
72w = 340mm (13")
120w = 566mm (22")
240w = 1131mm (44")

Got a height on them at all? Concidering 2x120w one on top of the other on the front bar but they may be to wide for the top one under the top tube of my bar.

Each of the four models appear to be 78.4 mm in height from cartoon diagram. I can not read what the depth is. 86mm perhaps?
With the side mounting brackets, an overall total height of 112.2 mm from where they are mounted. These things don't appear to be small.
No idea why I am adding the point millimetres in for. Just going off the diagram --- which I must scan in and upload.

I'll mount one on two air rams between the cabin and tray of me ute. Normally will sit down behind the cabin. Flick a switch and will just pop up.
Having a stab at the future, I can forsee a lot of blokes doing this on their utes. (comp vehicles anyway)
Maybe even between the bullbar and radiator grille if there is room.

Approx. four maybe five days until they arrive so says sales lady person.

4 or 5 days have passed. Are they good? Is group buy happening? I'm still keen

[bushy555]

Delivery time was supposed to be 5 to 7 days.
It has now been 14 as of yesterday (Friday) and I'm still awaiting for them to arrive.

I love wasting money and never seeing anything for it...

[flexytj]

just added a pair of rigid duallys ( 4 led ) as pillar mounted lights and a set of dually d2 (6 led )
lights on the front bar of mt tj and they are ace i will be moving the 4 led lights to the rear for
reverse lights and getting another pair of 6 led lights for the pillars .

the crappy pic below is the 6 led rigid drving lights they are heaps better than the light
forces i have owned previously .

How many you got coming in, providing you rate them i'll take one of the larger light bars 120w if you have enough.

14 all up. 4 each of the first three smaller bars and 2x of the big suckers. As of yesterday morning, they are still being BUILT!
Flippin they didnt bother telling me that when I forked over the dosh.
Stupid stupid stupid me.

/laugh/ Imagine if someone ordered 1000 units....

Pfff, to be honest I'd go and buy the Narva's if they are sitting on a shelf in a shop. Be worth it.

Any update on these I'm keen for the 22 inch bar

[bushy555]

Update: Has been a month tomorrow (25th) that I paid for them.
No word from China mob. Probably have done my money in.

[stilivn]

That's no good. If they do turn up shoot me A pm

[flexytj]

[johno88]

Just picked up 14 LED bars from the post office after a seven week wait. They look really fantastic. (The word 'awesome' is just too overused these days)

The big long suckers are * BIG *

Pics to come.

Pm sent on 22 inch bar

[Red Dog 4x4]

Do you have any left?

Or are thay all spoken for?

[bushy555]

Haven't had a real chance to even look at them yet.
None are spoken for. Have yet to read and reply to PM's. Have yet to work out costings per light ($400 in freight and 4% pay pal fees).
Were bought as a 'group buy', even though nobody else could be bothered stepping up or supplying dollars up front. Not intending to make money on them; just to cover costs. Got another email from another mob last night about their bars --- in 12 months time the ebay market will be flooded with Chinese bars.

All 14 bars sitting on lounge room floor doing nothing. You'd think that they could at least pull together, drag out the vacuum cleaner and clean the house.

Played with the 240w spot last night. She flood lit up the back yard (1/3 acre block) pretty well. As previous comments from other owners, don't buy LED bars if you want distance. But a combination of decent HID's (ya can't go wrong with a decent 100w HID kit in a pair of XGT's with combo covers) and LED bar lights would work extremely well. That is if you've got the spare dosh to do it.

....or just drive in the day time.

Could you PM a price when you get to it and if you have them for 2x 72w bars (13")

Thanks mate

I do feel as though I am verging on the edge of an illegal posting. If I am can a moderator please inform me and I will stop immediately.

22" bar rocked up today, it looks the goods and I hooked it up to battery and is real bright. Will hopefully have mounts for bull bar made up by sat and give it a good test run on sunday an put up a run down on what i think of it but at the moment I am impressed. A big thankyou to Dave also, cheers mate.

Packaged ok to your liking?

Am more than happy for you to put up anything bad that you might find or see, likewise to other buyers.
The more feedback (be it positive or negative) the better, so that I can then send it to the manufactures for improvement.

[Jcas24]

if you end up ordering more, I'd love a 22inch spread beam

[BundyRumandCoke]

I am stll waiting. Stilivin, where abouts are you? CQ or NSW? Hopefully Monday mine will arrive, and gets delivered correctly. We got 2 parcels delivered on Friday, one for my daughter, one for someone completely unknown, at a completely unknown address no where near us. At least they got the correct town.
When I rang AP to get them to come and collect and correctly deliver the wrong parcel, I was told it doesnt work that way? WTF, it did when I worked for them. They said they would come and collect it, they didnt as at 6.30 last night, so I went and delivered it myself, and AP is going to get an earful on Monday.
Unfortunately, the barcode wont track on the AP website, only to say its been lodged by the sender. It wont get scanned again till delivery time. Thats also not how it worked when I worked for AP.

I'm in nsw mate
