I am a visionX man through and through. but i also try to be knowledgable about them as well. The construction of those lights seems alright, other than a tempered glass front vs VisionX/Ridgid using high impact poly carbonate lenses. Its an IP67 value, which is also less than the big brands. IP68 being the best which is also 100% dust proof and water proof to 3M.
The Lumen value seems low for 12 3W led's, which tells me they are under driven. Due to heat dissipation qualities i would presume, but that would theoretically increase life span to under drive them. I didn't see any information on vibration resistance as well. They would be a good light for the price, but you would want to be careful where you used them. no vibration rating, and a glass front would not cut it on my rig. last thing i want to do is spend money on a cracked light bar with dead led's in it.

I agree, the lumens seem a little low. Tempered glass lens... I think Rigid is after this company that is making these lights, talking with my bud that owns a off road place in Miami and sells Rigid, he was telling me all about them. If I'm not mistaken too, they only have a one year warranty. Vision X or Rigid both have a lifetime.
I have both Rigid and Vision X product and vouch for both, very well made and they both stand behind their product.

Dumb question but aren't all LEDs resistant to vibration as there's no filament?
-
Filament is not the only thing that can be affected by vibration. A poorly designed or built LED or HID light can have components vibrate or jar loose.

True but since it's a Jeep I'm thinking there are more important parts that would fall off first if you're beating on it that hard... ;D

This got me interested. But I can't seem to find a website for the "speed demon" brand. All that really comes up is the links to buy them from t4b. I don't think I would buy something you can't really research. Can anyone find a website on these? I'd like to see more on them.
