Efficient LED

Post by coetzer94 »

Dagse

Het enige iemand al lightbars by Efficient LED bestel (hulle adverteer hoofsaaklik deur Facebook)? Is julle gelukkig daarmee? Hulle pryse is BAIE billik, en ek het nie nou bokke om op duurder bars te spandeer nie.

Groete

Al wat ek kan se is wees versigtig vir "te cheap" bars.

Ek kan gald nie kommentaar lewer op Efficient sin nie maar ek het van die wat 4x4Direct verkoop en daai is uitstekende units. 4x4Direct is wel goedkoper as ander maar daai ligte se kwaliteit is tops

LIghtbars is n gevaarlike subject.

Party skyn VER, ander skyn net NABY.

Party is cheapies, ander is nie.

Jy moet huiswerk baie goed doen. Hulle almal lyk dieselfde, maar verskil hemels breed.

Ek het met n ou in die omgewing gepraat wat hul produkte gebruik en hy se hy is nog heel tevrede. Hulle is in die Pretoria area, so daar is ook geen couriers betrokke nie.

Ek kyk na hulle 550mm (21 duim) bar wat hulle nou op special het vir R1100.oo dis wat mens vir n simple stel Hella's betaal!! Ek weet die kwaliteit van die stawe sal nie dieselfde wees as bv 4x4 Direct of Extreme Lights sin nie, maar daai prys verskil?!
Ek lees ook op die 4x4 community van die ouens wat aan myne (nie aan die publiek nie) verskaf teen aansienlik laer pryse, en hulle probukte moet net so hard kan werk!

Ek verstaan dat jy kry waarvoor jy betaal, maar iewers is daar n lyn tussen kwaliteit en prys!!

Ek het ook gaan loer by Onca wat spog dat hulle Rigid Industries ligte van die US af invoer, die amerikaaners is mal oor die ligte, maar as ek so na die pryse kyk wat hulle vir my aangestuur het gaan mens vir n 20duim bar sowat 8-9k betaal!!!

Die beste gaan wees as jy die twee kan vergelyk.

Ek kan dit ook so vir jou stel. Ek weet die manne daar by 4x4Diret kon toe hulle begin het met LED Bars te verkoop met 'n baie goedkoper een in die mark in gekom het maar het toe daarteen besluit want daar was 'n dramatiese verskil tussen die cheapies en die "duurder" goedkoopes. Iewers op die forum wys hulle die verskil of praat hulle van die verskil maar ek kan nou nie onthou waar nie.

All three give different lux, you don't even need a meter to check. Lesson, you get what you pay for.

Just to put fuel on the fire, I am happy with the Bid or Buy 10w that i put up over a year ago.

But yes you get what you pay for. If you cannot check what they are like on a vehicle at night you will never know, then rather go to reputable/known dealer.

Thabo I am with you regarding the facebook spamming he does, will also not support.

Battery Electric bou baie goeie LED light bars soos jy dit wil hê. Ek dink die lense is 8 grade wat 'n baie lekker spot gee op ver afstand. Probeer hulle. Hulle is in Jet Park naby die lughawe, by Griffith Rd af. Ek is baie tevrede met myne en die prys is reg.

Dankie vir al die insette. Ek sal bietjie verdere ondersoek instel op die ou se ligte asook die ander genoem!

Ek waardeer julle vinnige kommentaar

Re: Gemz Light bar

Post by coetzer94 »

Dagse!! Ek het toe na advies geluister en n lightbar gekry by TJM silverlakes. Dis n 20" Gemz unit (kon geen info op die net oor hulle kry nie maar dis n vreeslike skerp lig (14800lumens) wat in n blok fokus.

Nou dat ek die bar het moet ek hom mount. Ek wil graag hom agter die onderste grill op die voorste bumper sit. Het iemand al so iets gedoen? Ek wil die mounts self maak maar soek idees. As iemand al so iets gedoen het sal ek graag n paar fotos wil sien!!

Groete

Vian, I have never mounted a light bar like this before, but I have mounted spots behind a grill in a previous Corolla that I owned...
Worked very well & when viewed from the front with the spots on, you could not see that they were mounted behind the grill. It did not effect the lighting at all, but would receive a lot of protection from stones kicked up by a vehicle travelling in front of you or passing from front or rear. Also assist in protection against theft or maliciousness from passing hoodlums...
