- Thats bright LOL. I was thinking about mounting them on the roof itself and not on the roll bar. But I have a JBS aluminum roof so its very rigid and should work fine.
My only concern with mounting on the roof is the added height. I was afraid of knocking it off, or if i rolled I was afraid of smashing it. Either way the light is awesome and I am thinking about buying a 10inch to mount as a back up light. | |

| Bigben129 I don't know anything about these TQS lights but the rigid now offer a combination on the bar type lights where they have like middle bulbs are flood series and outside sections on each side are spot lights for driving! Check with the TSQ they might offer the same on the 10" and up bars! Thats the reason i liked the Duallies so i could adjust each side, works great when i am on the island running up and down the beach at nite and adjust the island side light toward the dunes to see mile markers so i know where i'm at! | |

| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ the 20" and 30" ARE combo spot/flood like rigid, and cost a 1/3rd of the rigid for the same parts. this is one of our 30" TQS bars just in hand off a jump box lil video moving it around to see the focus point of the spot with the flood | |

I got the 10" Rigid combo double row light. It is still pretty focused (It's a row of 10* Spot & and a row of 20* Flood) but it works well with the XP lights that have a pretty smooth flood on the beam. I have to say that 30" bar is impressive!

It's 1/3 of the retail price but like most things, you can buy them a whole lot better. Rigid comes with a full wiring harness with relay and switch. I'm not sure what their written warranty but I know they'll replace your lights at least 5 years down the road. They did that on my HID's last year. They are also made in USA. I do not believe these are the same parts as yours was caught in customs and Rigid states theirs are made here. I was able to get my Rigid very competitive in price to the TQS. It was probably a little more but there is not a direct cross over to my bar. As far as the combo light goes, I asked TQS on RZRforums and he said no, but I was specifically asking about the 10". I'm not bashing your light, I think it is really nice. I'd still consider adding a 30" to the roof of mine. I'm sure you will love yours. The dealer I bought my RZR from is a Rigid dealer and I got a VERY fair deal on my Rigid light. I was considering the TQS before this deal came along. I'm not sure how he would price the 30" Rigid light to compare to the TQS but I would imagine it would be within reason. Given Rigid's customer service, and stock on hand to replace parts if you did have a failure, I think a small premium is worth it to me. | |

Given Rigid's customer service, and stock on hand to replace parts if you did have a failure, I think a small premium is worth it to me. rigid claims made in usa. but theres one big lie in that. all the top emitters/diodes are made over sea's. there parts are not made in usa. maybe the housings or something. you said the rigid comes with a wiring harness and relay? its only 2 wires. what kinda harness is needed? bosch 30 amp relays only cost 3-5 bucks at the local stereo shops, and we didnt need any '' harness'' to hook em up. in our rzr's so i dont see where thats a plus your emitters in that high dollar rigid are the same as whats in these china's. the only weight that the ''MADE IN USA'' crap holds is that rigid pays a few americans good money to assemble all the chinese parts. just like wheelieboy on the rzr forums. his lights use CREE brand emitters, which are one of the top brands and are made in hongkong. all of his parts are imported, but they are built by his guys. id buy one of his lights before paying the price for rigid. even with your deal im willing to bet you paid close to if not more for that 10" rigid than we paid for the 30" if you got a good hook up cool. more power and i dont blame you. but not everybody can afford to pay for a name. ive done extensive research on the led technoligy, and have a guy that is pretty much a led nerd educate me on them. all the companys over rate there products. from the chinas to rigids. what makes a emitter work better than the next has 98% to do with the reflector. the lumen ratings are really just companys trying to out brag the next. we used our tqs bars this week end and were both beyond happy. seeing ours lit up next to a 30'' rigid bar, makes me VERY happy i didnt pay the rigid price. | |
