Lazer/Triple-R Linear-24 Elite (24" Light Bar) Install

Edited: Now with action shots and video

In my quest to invest in higher quality products that don't breaking the bank, I took a chance and replaced my 5 year old Nilight 40" bar that has horrible glare with a 24" bar that puts the light where you need it.. 3 lux 1000 feet and 1 lux 1800 feet down the road and MOTHER OF GOD this thing is a beast.

Why did I go with a smaller bar no one might ask? Because there's no reason to go bigger just to fill in the gap.

I looked at the Rigid SR 40".. $400 more for just a bit more lumens, but the spot pattern was too narrow for me, plus it didn't throw the light as far as I wanted.

I looked at Baja Design's OnX6 Arc 40".. $1,000 more for a lot more lumens.. but BD doesn't put that many specs on the website and I can't justify spending $1700 on a light bar.

I looked at the Diode Dynamics Stage Series 42".. and it was a very close contender with very similar specs that I was looking for;

And for kicks and giggles, I looked at Morimoto's 2-banger pods that you can also configure as a light bar.. but that was also over $1,000 (I did buy a pair though, that'll be in another post).

There are very little reviews about Lazer/Triple-R but what I could find is that these lights were more geared towards the rally enthusiast crowd, but their products also work fine on any other vehicle that want this kind of lighting. The lights are made in the UK, vacuum sealed and instead of a polycarbonate or plastic lens, it's a glass lens and I should never have to worry about UV damage.

I ordered my lights from https://rally.build/ and their communication and shipping were top notch.

I'll grab some night time pics soon and update this thread

Off topic from the light but how do you like the prinsu rack? Wanted a wescott one but they have been extremely unhelpful with getting one up here in Canada. Wasn't a big fan of how it seems like the prinsu doesn't follow the window line but still considering it. Notice any MPG decrease or wind noise?

There's a slight increase in wind noise, but it's very little; nothing a radio can't solve. MPG did go down, I'd say for me maybe by 1mpg but that's going to be with any roof rack; you're disrupting the airflow over the truck and making the air more turbulent.

Thanks for the input. That light looks fantastic by the way. Love the low profile
