That's a plus for Rigid. Lumens overall total, the LP6 is rated 1,700 more. That's not a ton, but it's more. That's a plus for the LP6. The 360's weigh 30% less. This can be an advantage depending on where you mount them. The LP6 has a mix of Driving and Spot, so you get a mixture. They may be a preference. However, keep in mind, part of the Lumen difference is spread between 2 patterns. So for example (and I don't know the breakdown between the two patterns for lumens, so this is an example) If 50% of the 10,700 lumens went to spot and driving, your Driving pattern would have 5,350 lumens and so would the spot. Comparing that to the 360, you only get a spot or a driving, but... the entire driving pattern is 8,600 lumens... or so is the spot.

[QUOTE="Specialtyperformanceparts, post: 1474182, member: 24406"] Yeah, but interestingly, that's mainly the case. If you look at the two lenses, the lens/light areas are basically the same. It's mainly the CASE on the LP6 that is larger. Of course there are some other little differences. The LP6 has 4 wires (High Beam, Low Beam, Amber and Ground) the 360 has 3 wires (Main light, Amber and Ground) The LP6 is rated 10,300 Lumens each light, but they are sold individually for $475 each, so 2 are $950 They come in a mixed Spot and Driving pattern. However, the Driving is your main go to. The 6" 360 is rated 8,600 Lumens each light, and they are sold in pairs for $579 per pair. They come in a Driving OR Spot. Again, Driving would be the best for most. So like anything, there are going to be pluses and minuses to either, depending on your preference. So you really need to weigh those options. Here are some key things I can point out. When it comes to price per pair, the Rigids would be $371 less. That's a plus for Rigid. Lumens overall total, the LP6 is rated 1,700 more. That's not a ton, but it's more. That's a plus for the LP6. The 360's weigh 30% less. This can be an advantage depending on where you mount them. The LP6 has a mix of Driving and Spot, so you get a mixture. They may be a preference. However, keep in mind, part of the Lumen difference is spread between 2 patterns.
