This is a good lightbar

Edit September 19, 2018 Despite siliconizing every edge I could find, there was moisture under the lens. I'm very disappointed that even after extra effort it wasn't enough to hold the water. I've actually just bought a large light bar from the same seller and I'll have to take a chance to try and do a better job with the silicone on it. Original: This is a good light bar. I chose this model because of the rack mount brackets, not the ones with end cap mount brackets. I took off one star because of a bad seal around the lens. I've read reviews of dozens of similarly designed LED strips and they all consistently have reviews complaining about water getting behind the lens and failing quickly. Others recommend siliconizing everything around the lens. The photo shows that the seal behind the plastic washer comes only 90% each side and top/bottom. It's beyond me why these manufacturers thought it was a good idea and why they haven't changed anything after so many bad reviews. For each of these lightbars, apply some silicone around the edges of the lenses or you will almost certainly end up with a broken lightbar.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • Not the best
