Best light for the money

[SZDZMTR]

no, its like comparing a single cow, raised, slaughtered, trimmed, prepared, and cooked the same. but served to you on a much more expensive plate with fancy knife and fork.

Except the cow the served you was road kill. lol Did I say I was out?

This has been covered so many times before it's silly. Even @jake's lights make light. Put them next to each other on day 1 and again 3 years down the road and the difference will become clear as daylight. Nothing in this world escapes the constantly proven fact that you get what you pay for. Nothing

im not saying they wont do that.
i am saying that even if they suck in 3 years they still work, and even if i need to replace them and buy the same thing in 3 years im still at 15-20% the cost of a single light from these high dollar guys and now i have two sets lol.

also the ones i keep buying are getting cheaper with each passing year, it looks like the lights you guys are buying are staying the same price or getting more "features" and being more expensive.

Thing is here is we are suggesting what the OP is asking, Best light for the money. Baja Designs for the money, dollar for dollar is the best for your dollar spent. Your time is money too. Having to deal with cheap troublesome lights takes time compared to something that works and works well. Might not be a big equation in the mix but it does add up.

We get it @AndysLog , you have your opinion and you think all lights are created equal with some minor enhancements but yet you haven’t actually seen the difference to make a valid judgement that means anything. Your credibility on the matter doesn’t mean much. And there is nothing that can be done to change your mind. Even if you saw them in person to see a valid comparison you would still argue your point because no ones really likes to have to admit they might be wrong. You are the type of person that will stick to your beliefs no matter what. I understand a lot of folks are like that.

But for the OP, the best light for the money really depends on how you plan on using it. @RWE , can you clarify your use case?

This is like the hilarity of when some wannabe operator tries to do a shoot house at night with their 1,000+ lumen sure fire hand held.

Yeah, it’s great outside when you’re trying to light up a target 200 yards out, but, the first time your 1k lumens bounces back at you off the eggshell, semi-gloss interior paint, you’re seeing nothing but spots but hey - you have the baddest handheld light on earth, right?

what are we, a bunch of lumen shaming b!tches?

What was I thinking? Thank you Andyslog for making things clear for me. I just went outside and took off all my lights and what not and bars....You would be really proud of me....I wasted almost No money on my mod. I went with a $10 3 pack of LED flash lights,( because they DO look like to have the same LEDS that are in the Baja and Rigid) and instead of expensive hardware I used a rope to mount them on the ADD bumper that also now, out of a sudden, seems like a complete waste of money.

Except I bought a large filet from a local butcher but I did give him a hard time about the history of the filet. I got it now....

I'm not going to disagree with your economic points however when it comes to quality, versatility, longevity, and overall performance there is no comparison. I've got some cheap lights too. But they aren't on my raptor
