Any good suggestion/recommendation on a light bar for the front with lights,
I prefer a roof mounted one and have a small budget, if anyone has one with lights for sale message me please.
Thanks

95% of lights bars sold on ebay/amazon and other online shops are Chinese crap, not worth the money and won`t last. There seems to be a gap in the market some sort of middle class quality and adequate price point.

Quite agree it's from one end £70 and up to something like 2k plus.
Regards this forum I have occasional read some owners fitted them then removed them because of the glare of the bonnet I was hoping one of those owners still had them and would be wanting to sell them.

I agree, so stop buying new stuff like this on those platforms, BUT / however... it is not the country where it is buildt (although i prefer “own market” stuff EU & UK) but the quality control... even the eastern country’s can produce the good stuff... i have a LED lightbar made in china, distributed bij Bosch.... not expensive either... with 2 year warranty etc.... bottomline... just buy local..... or through a well known webshop from a firm you trust. Even they can sell a good prices, sometimes or often cheaper than mentioned platforms.... Best regards

As a store, Lumise has a rather good reputation. They sell lights annually for approximately 8.5M EUR.

Check out the light bars by Lightforce. The are Australian made and very high quality. I'm running their Spot/flood combo lights on my ARB bumper. They are stocked in the UK by www.4x4obsession.co.uk

tbh i would reccomend the below in order of the best quality
1- Lazer lights - if your budget isnt this ridiculous then go for
2- Stedi - if the budget is still not there go for
3 - LTPRTZ
I have got and had chineese light bars and spots from and also all three of the above on my current and different vehicles and i can tell you from experience you will be better off with a torch out the window then going down the chinease crappy route.
Speak to Dan from South Essex Automotive (i am in no way affiliated to him) - he did me a discount off th web prices from Lazer that meant i couldn't refuse using utility lights around my roofrack rather than go for any other brand.
if you use a discount code from a guy on facebook (ProjectDisco3) you can also get 5% off Stedi lights.
LTPRTZ, you may be able to get a discount if you message them on their chat and ask nicely! lol
It is worth saving and spending with lights rather than go down the crappy route.

These look really interesting! - I'm guessing that if they are a company that bring them in from overseas but stand by the brand abd guarantee them then what can go wrong. thanks for sharing Timmy, another brand to look at when we are purchasing in the future!

Just emailed them asking for some advice on a couple off bars/LEDs they seem to have a vast range so let's see what they come back with.
I think fitting will be the main problem as I really don't want to drill the roof /side pullers
I did see a chap on the forum bought some right angled brackets and got them to fit into the roof bar rail runners looked good and well made and simple,dammed if I can find it no forgot to mention the width I wanted blast it o well wait till they see what they have to offer.
Thanks
