There are many other 50" bars on the market that have excellent light output for far less money. LED bars are like plasma tvs. The first ones were expensive as hell, now they are a dime a dozen. Sure there is some crap out there, but there are also excellent bars made by reputable companies that produce a quality product. Im having my brackets powdercoated now, but will be installing my 50" shortly for my moab trip. I had it built to my specs (100% spot, not a combo beam) and when I was testing it, a cop car pulled up to my house to make sure everything was ok. He saw the beam of light in the sky....from 4 miles away. I own rigid lights as well, and the quality, so far as I can tell, is identical.
