HIDmasters LED light bar experience?

_ReigN_ · **Posted:** Wed Oct 31, 2012 4:57 pm

Im doing some shopping for an led light bar and found HIDmasters.com who has surprisingly good prices and rates their light bars at IP67 witch is dust proof and waterproof up to 1 meter. Tried to find some reviews or torture tests but cant come across anything. wondering if anyone has any insight on the product. Thank you

Have to watch many of the companies that are coming out of the woodwork these days.
Most all are Chinese companies who sell cheap and have cheap products .
Looks like they sale out of California but bet ya they are made overseas
You know what my wife always tells me,
Bure aghali, ........cheap is expensive

Pretty low output LED's compared to the better brands like Vision X,Rigid,and Baja Designs and no mention of a warranty at all.

Thank you for advice, i have seen some companies like hella and narva who have graphs to show how far and wide the light patterns go but with others they just give candle power or lumens. I know the difference between candle power and lumens but what would be a good output? Im not planning on doing any off road racing but to see about 100yrds in the distance would be what im looking for with some good peripherals too.

My 2 LED light bars put out over 11,000 lumens each and draw less then 7amps each.

Vision X has a 8"(four 10watt led) bar that puts out more lumens then most of those LED lightbars in the link you posted,about the same cost also but a smaller package with integrated thermal heat protection and 50,000 hour life span.

Here are a few pics of mine............

Vision X Patriot 35 degree(flood beam) lightbar..............

Vision X EVO Prime 20" 20 degree(spot beam) lightbar..............

KC Daylighter 50watt HID's............

Hella 9007 headlight bulbs on highbeam..............

The end of the building is about 1000' away and I'm pointed nose down.
