OPT7 LED bars? anyone any experience with them?

[Okki]

I'm starting to look into some lights and I found the OPT7's below. Does Anyone any experience with them? The reviews on Amazon are good and the price is certainly right. Its not a Rigid Industries, but its within the budget....

OPT7® C2 Series: 32" Off-Road CREE LED Light Bar and Harness - Flood/Spot Auxiliary Lamp Combo (15500 lumen)

That are your thoughts?

I bought the OPT7 C2 Series 22" from Amazon, excellent light and value. Super bright and very solid built. I have driven through rain, up the mountain, LA to LV, no problems at all. Will not hesitate to buy more but the 22" is more than enough for my on-road purposes

Same here. Bought a 32" bar from them for my stealth LED bar mount (link in signature). Really happy with it. Good mounting hardware, feels really solid in the hand, and the light output is impressive!

Had one on my old Tacoma. Was impressed with the quality considering the price and competition.

I'm in the same boat.

Haven't read any bad reviews, but I haven't seen many on here with much experience.

Some of the guys on my other motorcycle forums have been running AUXBEAM led's with success, and they're relatively cheap. I also liked that they offer a variety of LED chips and sizes.

Just another option. They have some for sale on amazon as well, if that's the reason you're looking at Opt7

[MENTION=83083]rigtec[/MENTION] has an opinion on some that he's used. I didn't completely go through the thread but I just searched, you know :hat:

j/k... how's everything been in Indiana?

Mounted my 42" last night and between the overall construction, included harness and price, I am exceptionally impressed. So far so good.

Yeah... LOL.. I'm too old and senile here on the forum to remember how to search.. plus I shouldn't be doing this at work anyway! LMAO.

things are well.. Wife still recovering from spine surgery, but we're planning our first road-trip out west. Will be adding a "Okki-on-the-truck-roof-in-front-of-a-vendor-building" picture in June when both the front and rear bumpers will get replaced at CBI.

Just ordered a Nemo Mambo sleep system to go with the new tent... so I'm excited. can't wait for 2016 to start! :jump:

Let me know if you are driving that new teardrop of yours towards Idaho in early June!

I remember reading someone on here that had one and eventually upgraded to Rigid. I thought they said it wasn't bad but the output was not as good as they had hoped for. That's secondhand of course...

Had a 32" on the GoBi and 2-10" on the front bumper....no issues...more flood then spot, but for the price I was more then pleased.

Do you have a pic of the 32" mounted up?

 

[Sig_Fan_55]

I just installed the 32" a few days ago and I'm pleased with the quality and the output. My grille blocks a good amount of LEDs but even with that I get great light output and the spread of the Floods are great.

I had an issue with it not coming with the harness but I contacted them and they replied real quick and sent me one. Purchased through Amazon.

Here ya go...

 

[blurple]

Nice, thanks!

The 32" looks good with the bump-up of the gobi - nestled in there well.

I think the 42" posted prior looks better on the flat front racks.

Hmmm. Decisions, decisions...

 

[Mmikey]

I have the 22 inch and I'm very happy with it. The optics aren't as good as Rigid, but it does just fine and definitely good for the money.

 

[Sig_Fan_55]

I was going to try and squeeze the 42" up top on my gobi when it comes in but I think you just sold me on the 32". It looks like its made for it the way you have it mounted.

Or remove the 32" from my grill put it on the rack and go TRDP front with a 22" in the top grille. More holes in my pockets...

Here ya go...

Would you happen to have a picture of how it looks head-on? similar to the pic from TitanPat above?

THANKS~

[mbumpus11]

I put a 32" OPT7 C2 series lightbar behind my grille about 2 months ago. Has been through heavy rain, mud, dirt, dust...just about everything...and has held up perfectly fine!

I don't think you'll be more pleased for the price.

Ordered mine on Amazon as well.

Here ya go bud. (I know, I need to move the wind fairing up just a couple inches to get it to contour with the roof and to close the gap between itself and the light.)

*The harness that comes with it is great, but if you want to run the wire up the A-pilar, the rubber/vinyl sleeve that covers both wires will be too thick to squeeze in that gap. I cut the sleeve off the whole way up the pillar and just re-wrapped the wires in electrical tape. Now it is as snug as a bug in the channel and looks relatively clean.*

I found these mounts on eBay which may work out for someone that wants an alternate way of mounting them to a Gobi or other rack also.
