After buying several AUXBEAM lights I've had more defects then normal. Bright lights but watch for these issues!
Here's my list of PRO's and CON's from buying 9 different LED lights from AUXBEAM in the last few weeks. I'm going to break it down for you so you can make a educated decision on if this is the light for you. Most of the issues I had would be reason to return them but being that I have 17 years in aviation as a mechanic overcoming the quality control issues I had were workable. Most people won't be so lucky. Out of the 9 lights I bought 5 were defective. I purchased the 4" 18W SPOT's and FLOODS and the 42" curved light bar and found similar issues with all of them. PROS: -very bright lights that exceed their price point -well designed housing and LED lens -waterproof after brief water testing -simple to wire and install with provided brackets -well packaged and shipping was very fast -CREE LED's performed better in my opinion CON's: (here we go on quality control defects) -one of the 4" FLOOD lights had no threads at all on the housing. I had to tap new threads into as seen in the pictures -42" curved LED light bar threads were painted internally making it impossible to thread the mount bolt on again I had to tap and thread the hole and bolt to clean up the threads -almost all of the lights had exposed wires showing from where the insulation had been cut back. CHECK YOUR WIRES for this CUT MARK! -42" curved LED light bar silicon was leaking and required a heavy duty gasket maker silicon to seal it properly. UPDATED: AUXBEAM helped me out and were helpful in resolving the issues I had. I really like these lights but can't give them 5 stars until the quality control improves.
