Fantastic videos, my only concern is the price. It's hard to justify ~$230 for a pair, when I can get on Alibaba and order a pair of similar (but certainly not the same) lights for $50/ pair. I look forward to the price of these coming down. You wouldn't happen to know which emitter these use, would you?

Totally, we understand your concern on the price. MRT doesnt skimp on their products, the LED chips used in a housing that is nearly identical to what you are talking about cost $88 for the chips alone. There are many race level components they build into the lights to maximize their performance and longevity. This includes USA sourced LED chips, copper drivers to run the LEDs at 80-90%, a much better thermal transfer material and heatsink design, etc.

You can buy a lot of knockoffs from overseas, true. Like other overseas made offroad LED light bars and fog lights - They wont have the same LED chip and performance, they do not hold up and will probably leak, you will be paying close to $80-100 in shipping, you will have no warranty, all while supporting some pretty nasty business practices.

Our 225 price includes a set of CBI ditch light brackets. We offer them for a good amount under 200 with out the brackets.

In terms of the emitter, MRT uses a Luminus SST-90 variant (These cost $44 bucks each...), the overseas use a CREE knockoff made by Xiamen.

This was another product we offer along with the overseas knockoff that looks identical comparison test - this will put to video what I tried to explain above.
