I stick to the 150 to 200 dollar range and those light bars have served me well.

I don't mob in the desert at night, so I don't need anything with massive amounts of throw or a pencil beam, spotlight.

Typically, i need lights because my dumbass didn't bother to find camp until it was dark, so i actually need a lot of flood lights (not spotlights) so I can find camp, and avoid holes that will swallow my ride, so i'm driving slow.

The thing with cheap lights is they don't throw very far and the light they produce is very scattered (like a flood light), which is perfect for most of us.

I do tend to change out my ditch lights pretty often, because as technology advances, they get cheaper and cheaper.

I have never changed out my light bars. I've been rocking the same ones for last 5 years. Although I have been eyeing KC Hilites lately.

If you are going to run a ton of lights, you need to invest in a way to manage your wires and power (spod, trigger, etc). This is where you should spend your money.
