It seems like we've reached the turning point in cost/performance of LED light bars. A good portion of the field in last week's Baie des Chaleurs rally were running them exclusively. A couple of teams were getting really impressive output with some pretty small light packages. One had two ~10" bars mounted above the headlights that were throwing out an absolutely astounding amount of light.
What are the hands-on thoughts about them? It is better to go with one large bar or a combination of smaller ones? What about the larger spot/spread combination bars? Obviously you get what you pay for but what are the things to look for when purchasing one? I've seen lots of people really happy with their ~$150 ebay bars, but those people aren't trusting their cars at high speeds to their function.
As well as they work for price/performance/consumption vs output a rally car with a 40"x2" light bar will never look as good as a giant pod of PIAAs or Hellas, of course.
