    Show Me Your Off-Road Lighting Setup!

    So I'm on the fence between Baja, KC, & Rigid for some off-road lighting.

    I know Baja makes some of the best quality lights on the market & the dollar per lumen on their lights seems to make them a solid choice.

    (The Squadron Pros offer the highest lumens on the market for a 4 LED light, but I also know that every manufacturer has their own way of testing lumens).

    What I'm looking for is some real world imagery of your off-road lighting.

    I plan on adding a 20" bar in the bumper, A-pillar pods, & rock lights for the time being - so mainly looking for insight into these applications.

    I can't speak for the little cube led lights as to my knowledge almost all of them are the same, as far as light output goes.

    What you do get with more expensive ones is they use better chips which typically or more efficient LEDs, reflectors, water sealing, and wiring.

    I am saying you get what you pay for but not in the total light output since bulbs can only run so hot/bright for that little heat dissipation.

    I have three 9 inch Kings (which I think are clones) front lights with 2835 LEDs on my bumper. Little bigger then you asked, but very bright.

    I have seen those clones of the ARB that just say LED on the bottom I would personally stay away from them, not that bright from what I have seen.

    For the 20" Lightbar, go with the next version of light bars with the Lasers. I have one and it is amazing, I do not have it hooked up yet since it won't fit my bumper without modding the bumper, but when I was playing with it did put a big smile on my face.

    Even Baja started making laser bars & cubes because even the cheap garbage ones were outperforming the best-led light bars in terms of light to distance.

    If I didn't already have those front lights on I would think about the new 9 inches round laser lights.

    @CDIJeff thanks for sharing! I've looked into the laser lights a few times, but haven't really been able to get much viable info on then.

    Baja makes a set but the lumen count (I know...) is significantly lower than their LED options.

    I'd love to see a side by side of the laser light vs a LED.

    Right now I'm leaning towards the Squadron Pros for the A-Pillars & the S2 kit for the fog lights.

    From there I'll probably add a 20" bar in the grille & I'd like to get a roof rack (KC M-Rack would be ideal, but not for $5k) so I can do a 360* lighting setup, and I'll also add in some rock lights.

    I'll try to take a picture of just the 20 inch bar then switch to the laser light bar.

    Should somewhat give and idea of the comparison.

    As you mentioned finding any info on those new lights is kinda hard since they are so new.

    Here you go the left is the standard light bar.

    The right is the laser light.

    Second photo is just the original light bar.

    I also have to give credit that light bar I have is almost a 10 year old Koplin/Rigid light.

    Fourth pic is with the headlights on with laser light.

    That's not bad at all! You mentioned light and right pictures, but they all showed up in line. So the 2nd one is the laser?
