i've ordered little ones from china before. it takes forever to get them.

it's a gamble. i'll acknowledge that... if it's legit i don't see these being around long.

IIRC, there was a thread on Pirate regarding the cheap Chinese LED bars and the general consensus was that they aren't as high of quality as the bling bling brands, but for the price they are well worth it for most people. In addition, people seemed to think that all of the light bars were all ultimately made by the same company. The supposed downfall of these LEDs is that the heat management isn't as good, so the bulbs dim faster than the bling bling brands. However, the degredation apparently isn't much to be concerned with.

The only thing that would concern me is what I'm assuming is a lack of warranty, but for that price, you could buy multiple bars and still be ahead of buying bling bling brands.

i figured as long as it shows up, and as long as it lights up, then i'm good to go.

it was worth the minor risk imho.

I was pondering one of those short ones to mount in my stinger myself - be interested to see how it works out for you.

They have to be junk. I cant buy them for that price and I'm getting them right from the mfg'er. Plus like SirFuego posted if you have a problem good luck getting it replaced.

I think for the price if it failed it wouldn't be that bad. I wouldn't drill holes in anything if they couldn't be replaced with better units but the market for these things is rediculous. In a few years the good ones will be the price they should be now.

I've had really good luck with my Hanma unit. The biggest shame is that there are so few times to even use it here in PA.

I ordered all my lights from www.strobesnmore.com my 16" LED survived a rollover so I'm happy.

The lights I sell are very close to the prices on there site and can probably match the price on most of there stuff.
