sho me good or bad?

[thejudges69]

I found on ebay a guy has 2 sho me 48" LED amber bars, I'm not real familiar with these bars but the price seems really good if its legit. Just wanted some professional insight.


SHO-ME 11.1247 47" Low Profile Amber LED Light Bar USA | eBay

According to Sho Me's website the list price on that bar is $1280. So is $699 a good price? I guess. Is that a high quality bar? NO....

thats what I thought, I see a lot of sho me lights running on trucks out there on the highway but never one this big. I understand that sho me has different generations of LED setups. I may have to do some further research

We purchased 25 of their mini bars about 3 years ago and all have been worked hard with very little problems. If your interested check out their new line of bars. Im sure one of the dealers here on ELB could help you.

Basically $750 shipped? I wouldn't get it. You can get something with 3rd Gen LED's and Linear Optics for not much more. I've got an all amber 44" Whelen Liberty I'd let go for $875 shipped lol

MSRP is $1260.88 on one new amber bar.


Personally, I think these bars are overrated; very expensive for a bunch of 5mm Gen1 LED's. There's better technology out there got that price.


Sounds like you might have a decent deal though if you are getting two for around half of the price of one. I guess it would boil down to quality or quantity.

all good info, I think I going to pass on these. I went on a couple sites for LED bars and by the time I'm done building them I have well over a grand invested. not really what I wanted to spend that why I'm looking for used.

I agree !!! some of the product is VERY over priced.

As far as new bars, there's plenty of affordable/low end bars for customers needing the basics. Sirennet will have a few and you can always ask folks on here, too.

Sho me flashers are great! Some of their interior lighting is pretty good too! I personally think their lightbars, both full size and mini COMPLETELY suck when it comes to brightness and engineering technology. Boring gen2!

How is the sirennet own brand? there prices are great for what I'm looking for, are they durable?

They are.whelen and code 3 bars, what do you think

well being i didn't know that i guess i didn't think how bout it!

The sirennet branded bars are from major manufacturers such as Whelen, Code 3 and Sound Off Signal. They have mini bars and full size bars. All those companies have great reputations and honoring warranty, though you'd warranty through sirennet if something was to go wrong.


Here's two full size bars:


SIRENNET.COM - Sirennet Economy LED Lightbar (Sound Off bar rebranded for sirennet)


SIRENNET.COM - Sirennet SNLBL2 Lightbar (Whelen bar rebranded for sirennet)


I thought the Star Razr LED lightbar was cheaper, but I guess sirennet jacked up the price. Possibility Galls may have the Star Razr for about $650 in their catalog/webstore.

i have had sho me items for along time, like them all,


but some are to high,

I bought the mini sho-me gen 3 Luminator from siren-net when they came out for 425. they do have good bars but for the price you can get better. I am getting a used MX700 loaded led/strobe in the next few weeks for under 200.

You're comparing apples to oranges. MX7Ks are almost a dime a dozen on this forum. Some sell as cheap as $50.


A full size halogen/strobe lightbar being compared to a mini gen 3 LED lightbar is not in the same ballpark.
