LED : Olympus offroad (Zeus) or Seward offroad

Hey all, anyone have any experience with either of these companies and their products? I'm looking at getting some LED lights, including a light bar. I've looked at some of the better known companies with much higher prices, Rigid, bulldog etc. but am looking at lower cost, similar quality lights. I've learned that most of the LED light bars contain the same cree LED's and often share housings and light output between them is very similar, most components are made or sourced from china and either assembled in china or USA. These 2 companies came up in my search as being good alternatives. Both have a lifetime warrantee and will repair or replace.

http://sewardoffroad.com

http://olympusoffroad.3dcartstores.com/ ... _c_12.html (Zeus)

other options are:
www.LEDwarehouse.com
www.onlineLEDstore.com
but both carry either a 1 yr. or 3 yr. limited warrantee on their products so I eliminated them from being an option for me, but are available as lower cost options.

Not sure about quality but I shopped around and noted the prices. Then I called one of the cheaper priced warehouses and found a good deal on a 42" bar. After talking with the salesman I asked if they would give me a package price if I ordered more lights. I saved about a thousand bucks compared to some of the other stores, so you can deal with a few distributors. Good luck.

Also check out superbrightleds.com. They have 5 lines of light bars, not all are available right now though.

Yes, I looked at superbrightLED, the issue I had was that the light bars they have available now are single row for the size I want, half the number of LED's per light, hence half the light output compared to the others with double rows of LED's, all for the same price.

The guys from Olympus off road are at king of the hammers right now, anyone else there? check them out and report back....

Ramsey and Brent are supposed to be there, you may want PM them and ask for a firsthand opinion. Wouldn't surprise me if Olympus offered a good deal there too, so you may want to see if you can talk one of them into acting as a middle-man for a deal.
