Budget Switch Pros setup and other budget options for switching/lighting?

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and good luck with the crowds today on BF. Does anyone have any experience with this or what are your general thoughts/opinions on it vs a Switch Pros SP9100?

MICTUNING 8 Gang LED On-off Car Control Switch Panel +Wiring Harness Lab 12v-24v | eBay

I've had some MIC tuning switches before and they worked fine but I can't even find this on their site so I'm not sure it's even theirs. It's $130 compared to $550 for the SP9100 that I'm quite sure is also made "overseas". I base this entirely on the fact that if SP did their own manufacturing here then it would be plastered all over the website.

Same with Vision X. The light cannons on aliexpress bear far too much of a resemblance to be mere knockoffs. At the same time, Vision X offers a lifetime warranty on the LED light cannons but has anyone heard of them failing anyway? My buddy's uncle has had some on his truck for several years and they're still the same ones as before.

To expand further, what does everyone think as far as whether you're paying for the actual quality vs. just the name? It seems like most of what the big names (Baja Designs, Rigid Industries, Switch Pros, Vision X, etc.) offer is mostly made overseas anyway. I work in an industry where we compete with some very big names in terms of electronics and even though our products are significantly cheaper in price, our failure rates are the same or slightly better than the big names. I also know with near certainty that the big names get their products from overseas and even from some of the same suppliers as we do.

I'd appreciate everyone's thoughts on this and thanks in advance.

I don't have either but couple things I noticed.


1. MICTUNING contacts are rated for less amps. Some as low as 5A. I don't think this will support much light bars.
2. Don't know if MICTUNING is WP
3. SP-9100 buttons are programmable. MICTUNING just looks like on/off

I could be wrong but it sounds like something you get what you pay for. If you don't need all the Amps and just want on/off should be fine.
