Super bright, strong magnets!
As a volunteer firefighter, I've only used the LED suction cups blue light and traffic sometimes did move over. Living in Western NY it would come off when the weather changed from winter to spring...back to winter (weather has been ridiculous here lately). Anyway, I got this very quickly, centered on my roof and was pleasantly surprised how strong the magnets are. I then decided to test the light...bad idea. I saw blue dots for 5 minutes. This is super bright!!! I have driven up to 65 MPH and it didn't budge. I thought I would be disappointed because I was looking for a 24" - 30" LED bar...I was not!I didn't get a chance to use it (on a call) until this morning at 3am (was on vacation). We have had ice storms and now its raining none stop. There is no clouding of the lens, no water getting in the lens or an issues with the light. Traffic DEFINITELY can see me coming now.I would highly recommend this over the suction cup/dash LED. This is a must for me, especially since the wifey said if I drilled any holes in the roof, my head would match.Packaging is perfect, cord is way long enough. Has 2 toggles switches on the plug. One lights up red to let you know its on. The other toggle controls the 7 different light patterns.Would I buy this again...ABSOLUTELY.

Nicely Done
Pros:much brighter than the competition at this price! I believe the others only offer 18watts in this price range. 18 Watts may be fine for night but too dim for daylight hours IMO.Comes with (2) magnet/ suction cup mounts which held great in my Security vehicle up to speeds of 45-50 mph with no issues.Extra long cord with nice rubber flexible feeling.Cool switch on the 12 adaptor end that has two functions. One is a lighted on/off function and the other is a momentary rocker switch to advance through the other modes. (16) in reality as they consider “off” a mode. Also maintains last rememberance mode which is nice when turned off!Cons:not large (they offer a larger version for $100) so may be smaller than many would like but standard in size at this price range.Only have used for a week so longetivity cannot be commented on. I have had other similar type of lights and this light seems to be well built in my opinion.Some reviewers mention it doesn’t hold up in a 4x4 environment? Duh! What does hold up in a 4x4 off-road environment for $40? If it gave you 4-6 months in a punishing environment, this price is a steal for the sheer brightness of the light!Used for a week on hot summer days. Should be water resistant obviously but I cannot comment on that.Summary: best light I have purchased in a few years for the amount of brightness it puts out, the quality materials used and overall great price!

Very bright, but needs stronger magnets.
Needed a light for patrol, as my company is too cheap to buy any... considering all of theirs they do have are damaged or torn up... For safety, I bought my own.Am happy with light... very bright at 36 watts and simply works great, especially on truly dark areas... just make sure you don't look directly at light. I had a headache for two days after use...The only drawback is the magnets... they could be stronger as to prevent light from flying off at higher speeds when driving. Light is rated at 35 MPH, but I've driven up to 60 and no issues, even up to 75... but, it depends on where you attach light... If you attach to center of a curved roof, or too far back, light will fly off... if light is closer to front, can handle up to 60. Just make sure roof is clean and dry before placement.Otherwise, very good... recommended.

Bright Lights, Various patterns, AMBER ONLY, Straight chord.
Pros: Lights are bright with several patterns. All lights are working. Magnetic Base covered by a pressed on rubber. Straight Chord as opposed to those coiled chords that I do not like. Plenty long enough to fit on the roof of my tractor and come in through the base of the rear window.Cons: Magnetic base is not very strong.I bought this for my tractor that has a cab with a Fiberglass Roof, so the magnets are useless. I ended up trying to glue and then silicone the base to my roof. The rubber covers over the magnets do not stick to rubber cement, elmers glue, silicone cement, or expoxy.I finally took off the rubber covering the magnets and placed silicone on and around the magnets then placed it on my fiberglass roof. This Worked!!

Even from almost 100 feet away it was like starring at the sun
I am the safety manager for a company in the upper Midwest. I picked this up for a plow truck here at work in Wisconsin, and WOW. Even in the 100x100 shop the truck was parked in with the shop lights on we had to look away. This is brighter than some of the lights on apparatus at the fire department I am a part of.Most definitely worth the money and then some. Can't wait to see this used on a plow job.By the way, when you get one (because you really should) do yourself a favor and don't look directly at the light. Even from almost 100 feet away it was like starring at the sun.Great product.I will try to get a video up of this soon.

extremely bright & much more visible compared to other light bars in this category
Bright, easy to use, strong magnets - much brighter than other LED light bars I've purchased in this category, well worth the extra money, and still only a fraction of the cost of a professional (Whelen) lightbar. However, I'd estimate its about half as bright as a Whelen. Overall it is great for night time visibility & suitable for general daytime use, but when it comes to emergency / first responder applications in bright sunlight & on high speed roadways, nothing beats a Whelen.

It’s NOT waterproof
Light works great. Lights are very bright, and the 17 different strobes are fun. I’m giving it 3 stars due to the “waterproof” claim. I specifically bought this LED light bar due to it being waterproof. I haven’t had this light long at all and it already takes on water. The lights still work as of now, so that’s a plus, but water in the housing isn’t going to do well in the future, and it makes the inside of the housing look like crap as well from all the water spots etc. Again, great light and I honestly would give it 5 stars if I wasn’t worried about the water issue.
