Integy realistic T5 light bar review

[SirKarnage]

While searching for a light bar for my jeep I found this one...
http://www.integy.com/st_prod.html?p...8#.Us3xpWeA3mI
I like the way it looked on the website and the price was good.




It arrived in the mail today so installing I a go..






Then I got to the second to last lens and found this...


I really should have inspected each part before hand.. So I basically stopped the build up.

I did however mock it up and I do not like it in general, it is much bigger than expected.
The web site picture is very deceiving I think.

and for the record, the sizes/dimensions where recently added to the websites description, AFTER I sent multiple emails asking for them.




Commentary:

I should have know right away looking at the package..
The leds are on very very very long wiring.
In the website picture, you don't see any of that.. So I thought it may have been the led board type lights (I cannot think of what they are called, (like the VP light bars)
I decided to build it up anyway.. as I said I do like the overall look of the bar (as seen on the website).
The build is very over complicated. As you can see in the pictures, you install the outer ring into the light bar. Then install the "bucket" into the ring. then pop in the lens. push in an led, and use the clip to secure it.

I will probably still use the bar, with a cracked lens, seeing as how hard it was to get dimensions from integy I can only imagine how hard it would be to return it or at the very least get a replacement lens. I will however reassemble the leds in a more compact, usable fashion.

The quality, other than the lens being cracked seems decently good, for what it is what could be bad?
the hardware is there, and seems doable.

Overall, I wish I would have just bought a VP or anything else.

That's exactly what I was thinking.

well thanks a lot your detailed review. I was really looking into getting this exact set. I am now looking at led strips and other mfg.
