Pretty cool.
I get it. Just kind of funny RG gets a little peeved if someone copies or tries to copy his stuff.
And what makes you think Robby's aren't "Real"?
Simple, there would be a pending Speed Patent on them.
I can tell you they are not Baja Design lights and he is not using their technology. If they are like the other Chinese built lights they look nice and will not provide as much usable light as what Baja Designs provides.
Well duh they aren't BD lights. Anybody could see that.
Great marketing and great lights. I have been using Baja Designs for many years. Much of the group I ride with have tried various other lights over the years and nothing has matched the performance of Baja Design.
Yep. BD is, by far, the best light out there right now, especially when you compare the actual cost of the light (not wattage) you get. I replaced a whole array of Amazon specials like pictured below with one BD 30" Onyx6+ light bar and have way more light and clarity of vision. The Amazon ones were plenty bright, but the pattern sucked and you couldn't see jackshit past the daytime bright spot 20' away from the vehicle. In a Jeep (where I have them now), it's fine since the hood covers that up anyway. On a buggy where you can see the ground right up to the tire, no thanks.
LEDs are equal parts drivers to get the wattage necessary for distance (BD is running 20w+ LED chip) and reflectors/lenses to get a good pattern that doesn't just blind you with a giant daytime spot 20' away and make you have WORSE night vision (the entire point of lights is to see, not put out daylight 20' away). 10w/LED will barely compete with a standard 35w HID for distance, and that's assuming Speed's marketing people know WTF they're talking about, since:
I am sure his lights are not the low-quality Chinese stuff. It will be adequate for most that just happen to be caught at dark and need to get back to camp.
