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.
I followed a rainbow out to a garage and found a leprichaun. The rainbow ended in a potted cactus on his porch, but there was no gold :(

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.
