I'm going to do a search here see what I find

You can also look in the marketplace thread here on the forum. Someone is always tearing down a tank and selling good lights for a fraction of there retail value. You can probably get an AI Prime with a mount from someone for $160-$175

lol yea i dont want to be held accountable for those brands, they do dim but again need a par meter to actually gauge what they were doing and again fire hazard in your own house

Yeah I see what you mean....

 

[JL15219]

definitely do the research it will help a ton. Dana riddle light forums are unbelievably informative

I will check it out

Yeah I have seen a couple of those maybe I will check out some more

You can probably search for a forum group for your area as well someone might have a light that they are willing to sell for cheap and you don't have to get it shipped to you. Just go pick it up or meet someone somewhere. People do that in most local groups all the time. Well at least in my local groups. I assume most do.

It says you're in Texas so I don't know what area but unless you're in the straight boonies you're probably near a big local group.

Yeah that's another option as well

I think that's all the Texas forums. Not sure which is you're area but check whatever is close. You can also post a WTB (want to buy) post for something and get someone to give you some options.

Oh yeah for sure already asking tons.....where do order those orphek or3 bars? Saw some on Amazon for $160 $170

 

[dedragon]

Orphek.com or even amazon but I would ask orphek for their recommendations if adding two because the guys there are very helpful answering your questions and can even make you custom leds
