WHAT MAKES A GOOD LIGHT BAR?
A light bar is a row of lights that can be mounted on a vehicle, such as a Jeep, for increased visibility and safety while driving off-road or in low-light conditions. A good light bar should have the following characteristics:
-
Brightness: A good light bar should produce a bright and consistent light output, ideally with a high lumen count.
-
Durability: A good light bar should be made of high-quality materials that can withstand off-road conditions, such as vibrations, dust, and water.
-
Beam pattern: A good light bar should have a beam pattern that is suitable for your driving conditions. For example, a spot beam pattern is good for long-distance visibility while a flood beam pattern is better for illuminating a wide area.
-
Weather resistance: A good light bar should be weather resistant, meaning it should be able to work well under different weather conditions, be it rain, snow or dust.
-
Ease of installation: A good light bar should be easy to install and should come with all the necessary hardware and instructions.
-
Brand Reputation: A good light bar should come from a reputable brand, with good customer service and warranty.
-
Compatibility: A good light bar should be compatible with your vehicle and should not cause any issues with the electrical system of the vehicle.
It is always best to check with the manufacturer or your mechanic before buying a light bar to ensure compatibility and safety.
