bose audio does a lot of advertising as well, doesn't make their product any better.... imo bose and rigid are on the same level-- they both play on their clientele to be uneducated about the product they're purchasing, or just only interested in the name brand stamped on the box..
honestly, i consider rigid to be the ricer wings and fart cans of the offroad world... too many people buy because of the name, and don't really care about the quality of the product. i've been researching led light bars for quite a while and at the level that rigid is at, you can save a lot of money buying a no-name chinese bar and get the same performance/quality level..
the chinese bars use the same 6000k led's that rigid uses, and very similar enclosure and reflector designs, as well as thermal throttling that pretty much every brand has. the only major difference is that rigid claims to be assembled in the US and costs more.. the last major issue i heard about, rigid had consistent issues with water retention that was turning many bars into fishbowls... they seem to have fixed that issue, but it took a long time for them to finally admit that it was their fault and to start replacing bars..
problem is, if you do buy chinese instead of rigid, then you don't get to flaunt the name in front of all your offroad buddies, and it's not worth +5hp like the rigid's...
