Attachment 51395 bought some ARB led lights from the manufacturer, they are not branded as ARB but LED $237us to the door for the pair
Stropp, those ones are made in China. The ARB Intensity LED lights are made in the USA. Unfortunately they are not the same mate, that story is urban legend, like many surrounding ARB copy's.Quote:

Not saying the quality isn't good but they are most definitely not the same as the ARB ones. They might be a good copy but the two are made half a world apart.
More than likely a copy of the Lightforce ones, which are made in China and around which there has been much controversy due to them being almost identical to the ARB ones but released nearly 2 years apart!

And as a footnote, if I'd spent the R&D $$ on designing a particular product and some mongrel copied it and put it on sale, I would also fight tooth and nail to have it removed from sale.
Stealing someone's IP is no different to stealing your Patrol and should be viewed the same way, yet for some reason we don't.....

How many parts of an led light can be different?Quote:

I hate ppl that copy any product,with a passion, but if the licence ran out like on the Tirfor winch I have no problems
Cree is a brand of LED and found in heaps of lights and torches etc
If the reflector is not up to scratch like Fletch says it would be sub standard.
time will tell. LED driving lights are ok for bush roads but they will never out do a decent set of HIDs on outback roads at night IMO
Plenty.Quote:
