there are different levels of light bars for sure. The ones we have been selling are great in quality and I would compare them to name brands. many places online, ebay and the like, sell light bars very cheap, and we have experimented from them. We buy the ones we buy because they work, they are tested and have proven up to the task. the name brand ones are built really well also, and I am in no way saying they are not or trying to "bash" them. It all depends on the buyer and what works for them. we are totally confident in our light bars, and we feel they are an excellent value for price.
