I went with a 21" BlitzPro light, very bright and it fits on top of my ARB Bumper!

Looking through this post and still a little confused... I'm trying to put supplemental lighting on the roof of my Dodge 5500 and am wondering how satisfied I will be with a pair of the Hawk light rail x2 versus a couple sets of HIDS? thoughts? Eventually I'm looking for a crap load of night lighting, amperage is not of an issue for me with a 290 amp alternator, but still power is power.
Thanks

I've had a Blitzpro 21" single row lightbar on my front bumper and 5 6LZs on my roof rack for side and rear lighting for about 9 months. Personally I don't think the 21" lightbar is enough for forward lighting...it's a fairly dim, shallow flood...and I intend to up the ante in the future. I do like the 6LZs for their intended purpose as utility lights and reasonable price.
After 9 months of exposure to So Cal climes and an 11,000 mile road trip to Nova Scotia and back the black paint on the light housings has failed and is turning chalky. The plastic lenses have begun to yellow, as well. In the end, I don't think Blitzpro lights are any better than what can be purchased for less on on eBay.
Personally, my next LED lightbar purchase will be on eBay, for a two row 42 or 50" bar, for the same price I paid for the 21 incher. That said, and despite my Blitzpros' paint and lens deterioration, the lights have never failed to function. My 2¢.
