I'm going to have a go at making my own lightbar, what could possibly go wrong?...

I'd do it again. My Dad actually is getting a truck of his own and odds are high there will be a copy made for him with a couple design changes.

I have ~$150 into it. I can still drive another 2 boxes(of 4 LEDs each) from the 2nd driver that's already in use.

The drivers are by far the expensive part, as it's using two of them at $32/each.

Great work man, love it when folks use their own ingenuity to solve problems.

I am sure that if you wanted to you would find a number of people interested in your product... But like lots of things those have a habit of taking on their own path..

Even with my 60,000 lumens... you can never have enough....

I'd love to see a final writeup on this with a parts list and some diagrams if possible as I would like to have a go a building one of these setups for my truck.

Same here. Not convinced I'll do it, but would love to see a parts list and maybe a wiring diagram.

Same road as the picture with blue covers, but, 2 houses farther away from the street light at the end of the block and a bit farther to the right.

Again, just pictures taken with my phone.

There could be more forward light, but, aside from the center, they are all angled slightly outward like you'd get from a curved bar.

That will likely happen(eventually), there's still a couple changes I'm going to make to the current setup.
