I am currently in a similar boat that i want to obtain some information and experiences. In the past i have used different cheap Chinese LED beams from Tobys, Auxbeam, etc... which were a great bang for the buck so far, but came to realize the wattages and lumens they advertise are completely off.
An example:
I recently measured the amps that my Chinese 320W LED bar was drawing with engine running. The LED bar was only drawing 10.5 Amps which would mean ( 13.5 Volts x 10.5 Amps = 140 Watts). Although the LED bar itself works great, we need to stop staring too much at the advertised values and look more at real life reviews from other users (or Youtube ).
Baja, Diode, and Rigid are all top brands which would mean they will last for years, be fully waterproof, and the lenses should not fade too soon (which is a concern on the chinese cheap ones).
As LED technology was still constantly changing the last couple of years, i found peace in the fact that i was willing to upgrade them every couple of years. I still have 2 LED bars lying around which are 3 years old and don't perform at all like the newer ones.
location wise it does indeed depend on what you are aiming to do:
- Leading drives (a good flood light with side shooters aka ditch lights might be good).
- Camping (good overall lights, less focus on wattage and strength).
On a Raptor there is lots of space and lots of options.
Dragon Mart has Toby's or other brands, and recently found a shop in DM (S&D Autoparts) who are selling a brand called "Apca" which in fact are chinese as well, but look much better built and the finish looks almost like Baja Designs. I am also keen on giving them a try. Noticed them on @Mahmoud Taha his ride last weekend as well.
The Baja Designs Squadron are small fog lights but very powerful. You can probably even get them installed inside the bumper, or use them on the A pillars as ditch-lights.
@Karthik Raptor i think has a great light setup as well from what i can remember. And @Alex Raptor can probably also give good advice on that.
